Ahhhh these attachemnts are killin meeee!!!

ok...i made...lol...like...perfect 50 items...that will attach to unit...but well...(I actually knew that i would have these problems with attachments in moment that i saw that freakin trigger) but nvm now...how to make so i remove effect...u know....but not to use DESTROY LAST CREATED EFFECT...cuz that would just example: i get dagger,then get shield then i drop dagger and shield desaper...right??? ...well so...i should use vars ...or what... cant figure out :< (man...50 items....no sleeping for me i just cant leave it like this whole night haha :> it would just be in my head all night ...i would probably have a dreams about it )

Edit:almost forgot...how to make to remove effect instantly..cuz i have effect to make like orc is riding a wolf..and when i unload unit...it plays diying animation of orc on wolf haha ^^)

what you should do is give the item an (item) abilty like add +1 armor (just an example) then make it so it adds no armor and make it so it attaches a sword to your right hand that way you dont have to mess with special effects

Destroying SFX are pretty easy. Set it to a "Special Effect" variable and delete it later. Here is the code, sorry, this is off of memory so the triggers might not be exact:

Special Effect Trigger
Events:
Conditions:
Actions:
Special Effect - Create a special effect on (Chest) of <Unit> using (Doodads\Props\Metal_Armour.mdx)
Set (SFX_var) = (Last created special effect)

Then, when the unit drops the item, do this:

Special Effect - Destroy (SFX_var)

No reason, I just did that so he knows. You're way is much better and quicker + easier.

because that thing...with ability wont work...i already try..it only works when its ability that is able to be casted...its not working for like item ability that gives +armor (i set attachemt to hand to be axe.mdx but not working...) it would only work if i cast ability of item ...u know......thats why maybe...just maybe its called caster attachment ...and not item owner attachment lol :> if u can make it that way...with item ability +Armor ...u are a genius....but i cant...its just not working :> maybe you can give me screenshot...so i can make it too ^^

Ohh, then just do something like this:

SFX Trigger
Events:
A unit acquires an item
Conditions:
(Item Being Manipulated) Equal to (Metal Armour)
Actions:
Special Effect - Attach a special effect to the (Chest) of <Unit> using (Doodads\Props\Metal_Armour.mdx)
Set (SFX_Armour[1]) = (Last Created Special Effect)

You can also delete the previous one, but I forgot how. Also, for the SFX_Armour variable, it is "Array" so you don't have to create tons of variables. Keep in mind that this is just an example. I hope this helps!
