Attachments Not Working

[The Kurd]

Hello Im having problems with attaching things to my units so if anyone would be willing to walk me through it I would be very greatfull I looked at a lot of tutorials for this and did them all step by step by they still don't work for me idk wat im doing wrong.

Your model probably does not have the attachment points you're trying to use.

Example: Archmage and Priestess have the mount attachment point, if you try to attach something to the mount attachment point on a Paladin or Demon Hunter nothing will show up.

it would be better if you specify what's this not working? not shown or misplaced? what attachment did you use, what model unit did you use, and what attachment point that you use.

just checking, you can see the model in WE right?

right right well its a villager and im trying to attach an armor to the chest with a model made for villagers. and yes I can see the model everywhere except for when it goes on the villager then it disappears but its in his inventory

Did you give an armor attachment model upon getting this item in inventory or either made an ability that is attached on this armor item once acquired, this ability will take effect and will attach the armor attachment model.

Like in this tutorial: Attaching

This tutorial is helpful but its unit specific I need this to work for mass armies of units and I don't want to have to make a trigger for each unit.

I don't get what you mean with make a trigger for each unit, if you follow the tutorial, you only need to make trigger per item type, not per unit.
of course if you use that tutorial and hashtable to save ability based on item type id, you will only need one trigger for all attachment.

Well, there is also an alternate way if you will read that you can create abilities with an attachment in it that once you gave it to the unit, that unit will have the attachment.

Yes that's what I have done I have a attachment with a item to be picked up with it. Also would it have something to do with unit being a peasant and I have a villager replacing the model file and also I have it half the original scaling value?

Does the Item have the ability or spell that contains the attachment? And what do you mean by the replacing?

yes I have the attachment in the ability with the string for the chest and by replace I mean the peasants model file is now a villagers so it has peasant abilities and stats but appears as a villager and is half the original size.

also the item increases armor by 5 but when I have the unit pick it up it dosnt change the stats at all
I want the item to be able to change the units stats and appearance when the unit picks the item up ill add screenshots of what I have in done in the editor because I cant find what Im missing
