Need help on making a custom acid ability. It needs to have the animation when it is cast like the roaches acid attack, the color of the acid needs to be blue, its intended to be an aoe attack, because upon impact it has to create a blue acid pool that has to 50% slow the units that are walking over it but it cant do any damage.
I'm interested in helping you make such an ability, but could use some more information to go on. First of all, what duration do you want said pool to have. Second, what model do you have in mind for your pool graphic? Third, do you intend to have it be a pool of standing acid, or an instant effect that only hits what is there at that moment. Fourth, by slow do you mean movement, weapon speed, or both?
Let me know, I would like the excuse to practice using the data editor some more :)
The duration should be 6 seconds, Im not really sure which model it is but the acid covering the ground should have a similar animation like the acid pool a baneling leaves on ground after exploding, I intend it to be a pool of standing acid, by slow I mean weapon and movement speed.
So this ability works (has for over an hour, was messing with actors mostly), but you might want to change some of the models around. Is a tiny little piece of 'baneling' before the pool, didn't feel like messing with it any more, lol.
Go to behavior: Roach - Custom Acid Slow if you want to make the duration longer, it is set to be .2 duration so it only lasts while they inside the pool.
Go to Actors: Roach - AcidCursorSplat to change the splat graphic
Go to Actors: Roach - Custom Acid Pool - to mess with the pool effect
Go to Actors: Roach - Custom Acid Slowed - to change the model played on afflicted units
I have Raynor01 setup with the ability, and it is also connected to a weapon if you want to give that to a unit. Feel free to alter this however you want. Just be sure to credit me if you use this and you get rich and famous, lol.

Okay, will see what I can throw together here, shouldn't be too bad.

Thank you for your help, and dont worry, you will be credited once the map gets released.
