So basicly I added sheilds to my marine, thing is when he's attacked there is no effect like when a protoss unit is attacked, you know that little blue visibile sheild that surrounds the unit on the impact of a projectile or melee attack, how do I add that effect onto my marine? If I ain't bein too specific please say so I'll try to clarify.
 
Go to Data > Models.

Look at marine in the model section.

Scroll a little down and look for "attachment properties".

Add e_attachRef_origin, edit the "Shield Radius", then select "Squib Type" to "Shield".

Note for the "Shield Radius", it varies from unit to unit which works best.

For a marine, try 0.8 or so.

For bigger units, you may want to set the value higher.
 
Dude ur a bad ass thank you for the help, I can get sheilds to work but visual effects are always important too, thank you =D
Update: It works perfectly, I did it and tested it with the information you gave me and it works perfectly thank you again.
