Hi there, I've been having problem with giving other units the Void Prison ability. When I use the ability on some units, it creates a normal sphere slightly larger than the unit. When I use the ability on a few units (mainly an edited Omegalisk, an edited Hydralisk, and an edited Brutalisk), it creates a sphere MUCH MUCH bigger than the unit itself. The sphere is huge, something like 5x the size of the unit.
I have these edited units on a different art scale - some bigger and some smaller. I have other units that I made much bigger in the art scale, but the void prison ability works fine on them. What is the problem?
I was wondering what affects the graphics of void prison?
I posted this in art too b/c I'm not sure where this belongs? Sorry if that's against the rules.
Probably properties of the model itself since the model is set to scale with the actor it is hosted on. Try using the omegalisk model on a marine and see if the problem persists.
My autoscale factor is zero at the moment? Should I still change it?
I was able to tweak min/max models and unit scale to reduce the size of the void prison...but it's still pretty big. :/
I played around with it and set min/max to the same value and tried to get art scale as close to 1 as possible. I still don't understand what min/max actually does.
The min/max values are unrelated to your problem. They are to give a particular model a random size. Some zerg units and structures used this in WoL.
I checked, and Void Prison does indeed make use of auto scale factor. Check the "Zeratul Stun Model" actor, this is the one you're looking for.
Thanks...I turned it off and it helped for some units. Unfortunately, now it messed up the size of the void prison for other units such as Baby Ultralisks/Pygamists and zerglings... :( I'm gonna play around with it to see if I can figure something out.

Set (or modify) "auto-scale factor" in the void prism model's actor.
This will stop (or change) the model being resized based on unit size.
Else just alter the scale on the model under the Models data type then adjust the actor scale accordingly.

Thanks guys.

Just shrink the model in the Models data type and then increase it under the Actors data type.
