Hi all, I've been wanting to create an aura in which the attachment model will appear on the wings of the affected (air) unit. When i try to google it, the only entries that came up were on how to attach wings to wingless models ._ .

please help thank you so much!

Requires a fair bit of model editing.

Firstly you would have to add attachment points for the units that fly. One on each wing.
Secondly you would need a sit animation for all units able to hop on the wing.
Thirdly you would have to import the edited model with the sit animation replacing the stand animation.
And lastly trigger it. Attach special effect to the added attachment points using the imported model.

TLDR: not worth the effort.
