Modifying a unit on creation?

Last post by kurt751 « 24 minutes ago
Posted in WML Workshop

by kurt751 » 24 minutes ago » in WML Workshop

Is there a possibility to modify aspects of a unit during that unit's creation (in the scenario.cfg), in a similar way you can add abilities?

Hi there!

I want to make animated items in my scenario, but unfortunatly they keep being visible in the fog no matter what I try.
This is just some of the items, but the rest follow the same format. I have tried putting image instead of halo on the static images but that too didn't change...

Last post

That sucks.

I actually don't mind that they are visible, more so how they are visible. I use some fire halo to have animated fires, but it just looks weird in the fog because they standout so much with their bright flames compared to the grey surroundings. So ideally, the best outcome would be if...
