attachment point: origin, an alternative?

[LightChaosma]

i have a skill based of bloodlust with a buff that looks like purge on the origin of the target.

this looks great on simple units like wisps and stuff, but... sometime they get lightning at thier ass, sometimes a yard in front of them... it just doesnt look nice, is there an attachment point like center or so?

as far as i know not, never saw something like that, best way to check it out would be to open a model with a model editor and look it up. but i guess not.

"chest" maybe.
Though, then again, "origin" is pretty much available on anything, while chest might not be.
"overhead" also works on nearly everything, but, well, like it says, it's over the head of units...

 

[LightChaosma]

nope... chest gives exactly the same result as origin, past thier ass and a yard in front of some ...

overhead will be some last resort, cause on the units that this does work for, it just looks too nice for what its ment to represent.
overhead will also force me to find some other lightning like model...

what units are you having problems with? it might just be that they don't have proper attachment points..

all the units i've done "chest" on that didn't actually have a chest it defaulted to origin..
