Special fx

[Manix]

Ok I have trouble with placing an effect I tried attaching it to the 'hand,left' 'weapon' even 'hand' only and it always goes to overhead... wtf?

• Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the hand of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Orc\Bloodlust\BloodlustTarget.mdl

Umm not sure... Maybe the model just don't have a part that is marked as "hand"? Or is the effect big so that maybe there is no change if it's above head or on the hand?

i would say its a model not having marks for hand etc ^^ so you have to change the model i would say ^^

hand? what hand?

if you say to someone "show your hand" they will ask you "which hand?"

hand,right
hand,left

Whenever I want to attach a special effect to a unit, I create an ability based of "Life regeneration Aura" (Neutral Hostile), then setting area to 0, data value to 0 and false, and targets allowed to self. Then under Art - Target, you add a model, then attachment points, and then how many attachments then you can just add or remove this custom ability however you want and you avoid leaks that way

Best of all is that this ability supports team colours, so if you attach a team glow model, it will be the proper team colour
