How to retrieve Unit model path?

[kissmenow21]

Hi, I'm making a map where a unit can mount (be transported by a zepplin)
and that will make an attachment of the loaded model to the chest of the transport(zepplin) so that the unit will look like it's riding on top of it.
I know I can make an ability and giving it the model path and stuff.
But I wanted to generalize it over all models of my hero set so I don't end up with 100 scripts or 100 if statements.
In other words, I would like to do

Special Effects - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Transporting unit) using (Art path of Acid Bomb Effect Art(index 0))

Except I want the art path to be one for A unit. Not an ability.
I searched for it and I couldn't find one that retrieves unit's art path.
Can someone help?

It'd be very appreciated.

I don't know a terribly about modelling, but as far as I know, you cannot attach unit models to other units as special effects. It just doesn't work.

    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of Villager (Male 2) 0000 <gen> using String

Tested this and it seems to work. Just set the special effect to String and your unit in YourUnit. Hope this helps :thup:
