Quest Mark + Unit

[Coolio]

Hey guys!
I have a question about quest mark, how do i do so quest marks be on a unit.
I made a unit and changed it's model to a Quest Mark (!) but the quest giver unit has to attack some1 or move or something like that and the quest mark don't follow it's owner.
I've seen some maps that units walk with thair quest marks upon their heads, do any1 knows how to do that?

Thanks and sorry for my English...

You can either have a trigger run periodically to add and remove the quest mark effect from the position of which the unit is standing.

Or, I believe, attach special effect to *unit*, then it will follow him around.

If that doesn't work either, you could create an ability that does nothing, and change it's buff so that it has an overhead attachment, using the quest mark effect.

i think its a special effect, under "extras", just attach it to the unit's " overhead" attachment point

i tried to attach it to its' overhead but it doesn't work!!
I use Armor bonus (+1) like in the guide but instad of a bloody sword, i use quest mark and i write "overhead" instead of "hand,left", then i put to a hero and it does nothing, i tried diffirent spell slots, like Defaul active ability and others, i tried to add it to a normal unit, i thought it doesn't work to a hero but it's not working... what do i do?

Try adding the effect every 0.1 second, and remove it, then.

err that would create unnecessary (lag?)

did you try using, Special Effect - Create Special Effect Attached to Unit

 

[Coolio]

cant do that, when a player takes a quest i want the quest mark to be changed in a question mark, but the question mark is circeling and if i add and remove it quickly it won't be circeling, it will look wierd.
And that would need alot of triggers, turn on triggers, turn off triggers....

there is no special effect, there's special and special attachment point

It would only lag if he doesn't clean the leaks.

why don't you just attach the special effect to the overhead, then add last created special effect to special effect type variable? Then later on when the quest is completed just remove the special effect using that variable. It's really no extra triggering, just a couple of extra actions added to your quest triggers... well thats if this is even what you are trying to achieve. After reading your first post again im kind of confused.

! = exclamation mark
? = question mark

Also, do you mean exclamation mark as in a model (^which is what i was talking about above) or as in the exclamation mark in the bubble from the silence buff?
