[VISUALS]Allies only effect for Eyes in the Forest

0verp0wer_BR · 01-15-2010, 04:49 PM

Yes, you can say that there are hundreds of trees around the map.

But deffinitely, losing one of your Eyes in the Forest because an ally tangoed it is f**** annoying, to say the least.

So, I thought about a way to mark Roof's planted trees in some way, and the most interesting is the Sentinel skill possessed by Night Elves Huntresses, from Ladder.

This cosmetic should be visible only by allies and Roof himself, avoiding incidents envolving Tangoes.

In case you guys can't remember the cosmetics of the Sentinel skill, here go a few SS's, taken by Foede, and one of my own.

Edit: Here goes a Quote from Schremba, explaining the possibilty of resizing the owl:

I think thats because some effects use particle emitters (is this the right name?) to spawn effects. Those effects can't be colored or sized.

So just use a trigger: Whenever someone casts an ability (EitF?) Create one sized dummy unit with owl model (and locust ability, to prevent taking influence o the game) at that spot and don't forget, to remove it when the tree dies. However, these dummy units are visible to all players without coding, and I don't know how to change that since I don't use any special programming language. This can't to with normal triggers.

T-Up. Avoids major confusion. It's hard to memorize each and every tree on the map! Works!

Rubn · 01-15-2010, 05:28 PM

The concept is good, but I don't like the effect. Maybe add the old EntF effect to the trees.

lilaznelementz · 01-15-2010, 05:35 PM

t-up on the idea but i to agree with Rubn about using the old EntF effect.

Andyk727 · 01-15-2010, 05:41 PM

T-Up, good idea.

Scarga · 01-15-2010, 05:42 PM

n!ght · 01-15-2010, 06:03 PM

Seems good to me. Insta-implement it imo.

t-up

0verp0wer_BR · 01-15-2010, 06:03 PM

could someone add pics of this "old" effect, please?

Schremba · 01-15-2010, 06:13 PM

googled it.

Roger Black · 01-15-2010, 06:28 PM

since it is only visible to allies, more eyecandy won't hurt...so the owl fits IMO...the old EntF effect was lame lol~

Nice suggestion. I like the sentry owl animation better than the yellow orb before.

NoThlnG · 01-16-2010, 09:50 AM

Prefer this.

This was one of the best animation of the night elf...
