1 Model with Multiple Skins

Say I wanted 2 Sorceress models

One using the default skin
and the other using a custom one

I realise i would probly have to copy the model and just rename it. But how do I change what skin it uses?

Draco made a tutorial on this a long time ago. Check it out here

You're in luck, as there is one normal and one blood elf sorceress in wc3. So you can keep one and import a skin to overwrite the other.

Actually Nas, if you just check off the box under which model the unit uses to RoC you can use the old sorceress, and if you want the TFT version, just leave that box as is

Indeed. They are two models that use two different textures.

But there is no need to import a skin as you said before:P

I was only using sorceress as an example lol, but how would i do it for other units that dont have a RoC and TFT skin.

Ill check out that guide too

camels_hump confused you... :) to use first skin use first model, to use second skin use second model.

What you need to do is if you cant do it yourself get someone to do it for you, make a duplicate of both model and portrait (or just model if you dont care of portrait) and then turn them into mdl, change their paths to a different thing than the original and then when you import them and use your custom ones set their path to the one you made for your model, this will have a custom model with a custom skin and the original model, still the same as the custom one with the normal skin.

If you have any further questions as I probably will not be overlooking this thread again in the future my email is [email protected], and yes I can duplicate the model for you.

:) hope I helped you TinyTaurus
