Attachment Problem

[Vengeancekael]

I have a problem with attachments:

Whenever I attach an effect/weapon to a unit, it gets attached to the feet instead of the hands. I use "right hand" and it gets attached to the right foot.
I'm not using a trigger to attach the weapon, but a spell.

My question is, has this happened to anyone else? If yes, did you find a solution?

Maybe if you tried weapon?

Attachment Point Names:
overhead (floats over the unit's head, but doesn't sway with)
head (sways with the unit's animation)
chest (also good for wings)
origin (usually at the base of a unit's feet)
hand
foot
weapon (for heroes)
sprite (for buildings)
medium (for buildings)
large (for buildings)

Ehm well what if I want a specific hand?

 

[GhostThruster]

Try using hand,right. If that doesn't work, then the model is either a beast(eg. kodo) or has its attachment points named incorrectly.

This happens to every single model and I have tried right, hand.

Can you provide a download about your model ?
So we can test it out
I think the problem is with the model itself, not triggers or attachment

does placing right hand in one string cause troubles?

I always use two strings for this, first is hand and then next one is right and it always work fine...

sounds like a miswritten or wrong attachment points.. as in the model.. not the one u specify in the map editor..
edit: just so you don't know.. lol since you have quite a post and reps >.< you can check the attachment points for the model on a model editor

No I have not miswritten the attachment point.

[Adiktuz]

oh, now that's weird, I do it the same way... do you use only one string? I always use two, but IDK it has an effect on the final product...

 

[mckill2009]

i have the same problem, but i solved this by using special effect instead of ability attachment, but ability attachment is what i want since you dont need triggers for this

 

[Vengeancekael]

I used 2 lines.

 

[Adiktuz]

I used 2 lines.

then maybe its a problem of your editor... try the suggestion above...

Scanning Problem . . .
SOLUTION FOUND !
In Import Manager, double click the 'Full Path' field and modify it by ticking on the box 'Custom Path'
Delete the 'war3mapImported\' and the result will leave ONLY the 'Odd Sword.mdx'
Try this, and tell me the result k?

EDIT:
You must delete the 'war3mapImported\' for EVERY imported model
This is the formula to get the model you wanted to appear in-game
Just do this step and the result will be very pleased ;D

 

[Vengeancekael]

Ehm I already fixed it, I used 2 lines and it worked.

I've got no problem with models having war3mapimported\xxxxx

anyway it seems that 2 lines should really be used for this...
