I need to create what is essentially a creep trail with a different model whenever a specific unit (in this case a baneling) attacks.

I want to do this via the attack actor for the baneling. This way I can keep down on triggering and it's just more efficient.

Is there any way to do this?

@Yaksmanofage: Go Look at the creep tumor.
You might be able to just apply the creep behavior to the baneling. I'll warn you though, creep like this can cause severe performance issues.

I looked at the creep behaviors but I didn't see a place to change model. I'll look at the creep tumor later but....

Wait, what are we talking about here?

Do you want an actual creep trail with just a different model but the same functionality creep has? Should it show on the attacking unit (the baneling) while it is on attack move or should it be on the targets after they got hit?

Is the trail just visual or do you want it to have some sort of functionality?

Before knowing all of that I can already tell you that you can't use the creep if you want to use a different model, all creep on the map will always have the same model. You can change the appearance, but it will also change the appearance of all the other creep.

Creep Trail with a different model. It should move with the baneling like it would move with an overlord toggling it's creep generation ability only is activated by attack not an ability.

So there is no way to change the model? I already have an actor, I just need a way to implement it like I've described.

Should I link all the actors associated with what I am trying to accomplish? I don't ask for help in the data section often but it seems logical that you might want to see those things.

I'm looking all over and in neither footprints or the behavior is there a section for a model. Where do I add the model for visuals?

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Ohh, gotcha. Let me try it now.

EDIT: I couldn't get it to work...how do I edit the color of generic creep? It would make all of this much easier.

Anybody?

I looked for it in the Textures section of the data editor but I couldn't find creep....

EDIT: never mind I found a tile that works.
