I'm working on a vampirelike hero for my map, and one of his spells is AoE life drain. The problem is none of the standard lightning effects look much like blood, so I need a blood-red colored life drain lightning. I dont care if its a recolor, but it does have to NOT erase any other lightning effects (like a skin would erase the old texture of that unit. |

This is probably an innate post but... It would be a skin... and couldn't a heavily red tinted drain life do the job? |

Tide-Arc Ephemera is correct; it would be a skin. The problem with lightning effects is that you can't simply import a new one; you have to overwrite an existing lightning effect. Your best bet would be to create some tinted lightning effects and then use some simple JASS Custom script calls to create moveable lightning between your caster and target(s). |

I'm probably just spamming now; here's a link to a lightning effect, but it is not exactly what you want. They are indeed skins, so you might want to PM somebody who can skin. I could try but the quality isn't guaranteed... http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthre...highlight=skin |
