Ensnare buff

I just read the FAQ how to change the animation that plays over someones head when they are the target of a buff, but i was wondering if that would apply to my situation. I am trying to alter the statis trap ability so instead of the stun animation, it plays the ensnare animation, would it work the same way?:hm:

I don't think so, although before asking you should try it; it takes maybe 5 minutes to do. The problem in that Ensnare has a missile animation as well, which (as far as I know) wouldn't show up. So you'd just suddenly have a net around nearby units with no apparent way of getting there. The Stasis Trap animation might cover up that fluke, I'm not sure.
You could make a trigger that shows the missile animation and then the ensnare net, but I don't know how. I'm not a good triggerer :////

Thx for replying! I only want the net to appear aroung the person. I am trying to alter the statis trap ability so instead of the statis trap apearing, i need a crate. When someone goes near, a net pops up. That's it. This is for my "secret project" so I don't want to say too much.:ggani:

Well, in that case just change the buffart to the ensnare model. Glad I could help :D
However, next time it'd be best if you tried it out before asking... even on my computer it would only take about 5 minutes :////

i did try, but i guess something went wrong :( oh well, i'll try again.

wait, would i change the buff art for statis trap or the stun buff affect?
that might be the problem. BTW, haven't gotten a chance to test it yet, this comp doesn't have it installed. Can't use the other one right now. THXanyway.

You need to edit the stun effect, but all you need to do is go to File-->New Buff and edit that, and then either edit the statis trap or a custom, stasis trap-based spell to have the new buff.

THX for your help, i'll try that!:infth:
