[Trigger] Special Effects

[Deathevyn]

Using the trigger editor, how do i make a special effect at a certain point on a character's body. Like how in some maps people put a special effect in naruto's right hand to make it look like a rasengan?

you can use the spell "life regeneration aura", then change targets to self only, and you change the target to whatever model you want, then origin is the point you want, as in "hand, right" for right hand (without quotes) or "hand, left" for left hand, and such

In the Special Effect Triggers/model editor, you can use these Attachment points

You forgot 1 thing. It should be:

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the right hand of (Triggering unit) using

(It's right hand, not just hand O.o)

yes i thought about it o.o
but if you only write "hand" its automaticly attached to his right o.o
i never saw any bugs like this o.o

but perhaps it is better with "right hand" ^_^"
