How do I make a buff that attaches the exclamation mark model above the units head?
I've tried everything I can think of but nothing shows up.

I took the bloodlust buff, changed
Art - Target
to the exclamantion mark model
and changed
Art - Target Attachment Point 1 to head

I also tried doing the same with the endurance aura buff

I also tried, in addition to 'head', 'overhead' and 'origin'
None of these combinations had any visible effect ingame

I'm beginning to think that the exclamation mark can't be attached for some reason.

it can be attached, you just need to make it a aura or something and not a bloodlust like spell

I already tried endurance aura

Argh, the darn model may be missin' that scurvy attachment point! Does it display other overhead attachments?
I'm using the Forest Troll Berserker model (units\creeps\ForestTroll\ForestTroll.mdl), which is a Blizzard model, so I assume that it does.
I know for certain that it has the origin attachment point, because the normal endurance aura buff works just fine on it, but it still wouldn't let me attach the ! model to the origin point.

use the trigger function Add special effect on the unit using the exclamation mark model.

That doesn't answer the question of how to do it through buffs
