Adding Impact effect to missile model?

[Neversleeping]

I originally posted this on the request page, but I understand that this is probably something I should do myself. However, I need a few pointers and I hope someone can help me out.

Basically, I want to attach an explosion art to a normal in-game missile art, decribed here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/requests-341/very-simple-modelling-request-155118/

I need to know the one easiest, most ignorant way of managing this. I guess I can do this with Magos' model editor? opening the two models in question and then go from here?


I'm deeply grateful for all help.

Can't you just use the Impact model as Graphic - Missile in the object editor?

No, then you'll have a flying explosion coming against the target, looking really weird. I need one effect for the missile itlself, and another one for the actual impact.

im sure you can do this with triggers, try to ask Slaydon

If so I need a function to detect exactly when a unit takes damage from a specific source, spell or unit. Don't think it can be done.

Who's Slaydon?
