Attaching...

[CoLd Bon3]

Hi! I want to ask how i can attach a unit or something (i want just bigger special effect) to a unit. I've tried to create dummy unit witch model is Frost Armor, but bigger than normal then i tried to attach it (with GUI), but it don't worked - it only works with special effects, no units... I've tried to attach it to a buff as well, but... the same - i can't find my custom unit. Please help me! (+rep of course)

Umm, there is a lot of tutorials out there for this.. So you should probobly just search hive with the keywords "Attachment" or something and you would probobly easily find it..

you can make the unit/buff BIG by EDITING the model itself, you may use magos model editor and change the SCALE of the unit/buff, then import the edited version then attach to the Art-Target buff, then it should be OK...

NOTE: You must have full permission first to change any model...

Alternatively, visit the local Hive for a tutorial.

In my opinion, if you credit the author of a model you edit, and you are not distributing it, then that's good enough, especially if you're just using it in your map or something.

Easiest way: edit Kael's "Orb" (probably I have my language Editor version) ability. It is made to make this nice effect of 3 orbs flying upside his head. Then all u need to do is change animation (not all work as u would wish to!!!) and change attaching point. Here u have them: sprite + first/second/third; weapon; hand + left/right; head; origin (ground, for auras etc.); chest. There are likely more attachable points, just take a look into ^their links. Note that u can use several animations put in a row attached to proper points, just try it and it will turn to be easy for u.

Dude, that's the same tut I posted. If you are going to post something, you should make it worthwhile.
