Special effect on impact

[Grurf]

Hello,

I am having a problem with special effects. I want a special effect to play at the moment a unit's attack hits the target. I have already tried the standard Unit - A unit is attacked trigger, but then the special effect plays at the moment the attacking unit fires, not at the moment the attacked unit is actually hit. Does anybody here know how to trigger the special effect to play on impact?

Thanks in advance,

Grurf

The only thing that I can think of is adding a wait action to your trigger for about .30 seconds. That should give you the same effect. There might be an easier way but I don't know it.

Could you perhaps change the attack to a spell or ability?

Don't you just hate that?!?! I suspect its either a bad bug, or the event has not been worded correctly (i.e. it should say "a unit attacks an object")

And its a pity the event "a unit takes damage" only applies to specific units.

I have that problem too. However, it only affects the game on single-player (when I test it), and it's meant to be a multiplayer map, so I ignore it. As I said before though, I suggest a wait action.
