Hi all! i'm new here, so i was wondering if you could give me some help with this. I'm modifying the Storm Bolt ability, to make it into a Magical Arrow. What i want to do is have the archer's arrows AND the dragonhawk rider's blue swirly attack at the same time to be used as the new model for storm bolt, thus making the arrow look "magical." My problem is that while i can change the hammer art to EITHER the arrow OR the blue swirly attack, i don't seem to be able to have the two together. oh, and i'd prefer not to use triggers if that's possible, but if it's not then triggers are okay too. Please Help! Thanks |

As far as I know, you can't combine different models for a projectile art, which sucks a lot. You have more options: merge the two models with a modeling program to get a single model (or, you can first check on wc3sear.ch or somewhere if someone has already done anything similar), you can trigger the whole thing and simulate a projectile with a unit which, of course, can have special effects attached to it, so you can combine two effects this way, but it's some annoying triggerwork. |

I'd recommend getting something like Vertex Modify or any simple geoset editor and just merging the two models, as it'd be much easier than creating a dummy ability and syncing up the graphics perfectly. If it's an online map you'll also have to deal with lag as well. |
