Possible "strings" for special effects?

[thevoden]

When doing a special effects trigger, it attaches to the "overhead" of unit by default.

What are the other possibly choices? Like i want to put it on the feet, on the arms or chest or somewhere besides way "overhead"

thanks!

overhead
head
chest
hand, left AND hand, right
weapon (there may be a ,left and ,right variation of this also but im not sure)
foot, left AND foot, right
origin (on the ground, between the units feet, does not follow a units bodily motions i.e. wont move when arm or head or foot moves)

Summon Hero
    Events
        Unit - A unit Uses an item
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Paladin
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Paladin for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
                Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Silence\SilenceAreaBirth.mdl
            Else - Actions

How come this trigger only does this effect ones? How come the special effect only happens on the caster instead of the unit?

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of ([COLOR="Red"]Triggering unit[/COLOR]) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Silence\SilenceAreaBirth.mdl

change (Triggering unit) into (Last created unit)

 

[thevoden]

Do I have to destroy the special effect? Will it clog the game if I dont?

 

[Ashcat]

Yes it is a memory leak if you don't destroy it.

For many special effects you can you the Special Effect - Destroy action right after the creation, and the special effect will still play.

 

[thevoden]

On the condition of Silence, the special effect does not play.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Store Silence SE in a variable, create it, add a wait to the trigger, and then destroy the variable.

 

[thevoden]

What if another unit uses an item during the wait time? Then that means the special effect wont be destroyed...
