[Unsolved] special effect on attack

is there a way to make it so that there is a thunderclap effect every time a melee unit attacks? i would like this to be done without triggers.

make the unit have Range attack, but so low that it seems melee, then change the projectile model to the thunderclap.

vegavak, why bother replying, it has nothing to do with the post. I just said id LIKE it to be done without triggers, not "i want my map to run as smoothly as a JASS map, but i don't want it to be written with JASS."

@ just_spectating: thats what i have right now, but im looking to give the unit the bash ability, but i cant do that since its ranged. any way to help?

Two triggers:

trigger1

Events

Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)

Conditions
Actions

Trigger - Add to trigger2 the event "Unit - (Triggering unit) takes damage"

trigger2

Events
Conditions

(Damage source) is a Melee attacker equal to (True)

Actions

Set Temp_Point = (Position of (Damage source))
Special effect - Display a special effect at Temp_Point using RaspberryCheesecake.mdl
Special effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Temp_Point )

It leaks, though, and I'm not either sure if it will work...
BTW, I don't have the editor up now, so change "RaspberryCheesecake.mdl" to the actual Thunder Clap model.
I'm not either sure if this is what you wanted.

thank you thats exactly what i was looking for.

by the way, where is the leak? i cant find it

OK, maybe it doesn't leak after all... I thought "Triggering unit" leaked but there's a large chance that I am wrong.

no, triggering unit does not leak. thanks a lot man.

I was explaining that you had to use triggers to achieve the effect you wanted. A 'Just because you wish it to be true, does not make it true.' sort of thing.

Thanks for the negative rep, Rui.
