I once whipped one up with Camel's_Hump for StarCraft Zone Control.

www.sczonecontrol.nl

On the "downloads" page.

EDIT: oh, ghost, not ghost, sozz, slightly tipsy.

This is for Titan Arena, aye? Why not just Revive the player, give 'em Permanent invisibility, and remove their alliances? Then any hero can have a ghost couterpart that looks exactyl the same, and is transparent.

Yea that is a good idea but while i was thinking about that ... what about units that have stealth skills, and some other units that use some special trigger effects that would cause problems ... i prefer making a ghost unit less problems :P the spells of course wont be the same :D

Ahh, okay. Then I dunno. It would take time, but make a different ghost for every character?

Ok ... i need some time to assemble the concrete idea ... since im no good drawer

EDIT: I have an idea : how about making it look like mephisto in Diablo II - the way : no legs , spine hanging down but having a simpler body more ghost alike

Check out the difference

I would like something like this
Preferred Look

but i know wow models and maps containing them aren't allowed so i would need a variation.

That doesn't look like... a ghost... looks like some weird abysmal sea creature gone wrong and photoluminescent... what I had in mind for a ghost is more of... a shade or a grim reaper or a dementor or a transperant humanoid figure or something... or at least for an arena...

Why not just set the alpha of the hero to 50% or something?

You COULD just do wisps, or you could use something like get an acolyte or something of an equivalent and then alpha it...

50% alpha'd acolyte with hand attachments could look similar, and even save some kb on your map.

Heh the acolyte is realy poor with animation ... :( realy if there is someone who likes to make a model ... i can wait its not a prob
