Purple + Lightning

Anyone know where a decent looking skin is (Preferably looking akin to Mana Burn) for lightning might be? I was kinda in need of a purple lightning effect, and couldn't locate one. Or if someone wanted to make a new skin real quick (a simple recolor would do, which I'd do myself but I lack the tools), I would be more than happy to give you an easy +rep.

Import it as "ReplaceableTextures\Weather\ManaBurnBeam.blp".

I love you... well actually both of you. Kthxbai!

Edit ~ Wait a second... I lied. I imported it and used the path, but ingame the lightning is invisible O_o. Any idea why that might be?

Alpha channel. :D

(I assume)

And isn't there a tint field in the lightning data SLK? So you could make a new lightning, and retain the rest.

I'm confuzzled. Care to elaborate, please?

There's still an alpha channel... or at least Photoshop says there is.

Couldnt you just, create the lightning and recolour it, with triggers ?

Just like that Dota Warlock Hero - who has that spell -Spirit Link on enemies.

You can't color lightning effects that are used as the "Data - Lightning Effects" field in a spell. You can import an new lightning effect, but you can't recolor a lightning effect with triggers that wasn't created with a trigger.

If you can tint them via triggers, then I'll live I suppose without importing. Thanks for the help anyways I guess.

Only if the effect was created through triggers.
If a demonhunter casts manaburn on a unit, you cannot color that lightning effect.
