Problem alphaing out the trident in Naga Myrmidon

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a unit called a "Naga Sentinel" in my map. However, I'm having some really weird problems.

After the trident is alphaed out, and it looks to be gone in Warcraft 3 Viewer, it adds the trident back in in-game. Check this out.



On the left is a regular naga myrmidon. On the right is my new custom unit with the trident attempted to be alphaed out. Look carefully at the trident on the right. Weird. I know all my pathing is set to the right texture, so would anybody know why it's doing that? How could I fix it?

Here's a download of the model with the trident removed. If you open it up in Warcraft 3 Viewer, you'll see it alphaed out.

i think the problem is that a trident consists of alot of layers i have seen this with the dryad but i would of thought that it would alpha it all,

another solution is that its an attachment and so cant be alphed


how do you have 2 of the same model different skin anyway???

You cannot alpha out all of the Trident because it has teamcolor on it. The only way to get it to work is by model editing.

Thanks for the tip number man. I'll see if I can get somebody to do that for me then.

I'll do it for you if you want. But I'm going to sleep now so It'll have to wait a couple of hours.

Okay then, thanks, I'd really appreciate it. You don't need to do anything special to the skin, just removing the whole trident.

:D

if u wanna know how to remove team colors or glows, for future use, look for one of the tuts in this forum that is stickied and written by me.... seems confusing but at least it tells u how its done;)

and yes, removing of team colors and glow doesnt need model editing, a simple lil mdl edit will do;)

While that would do with the hilt, that doesn't do anything for me on the 3-pronged trident itself.
