Buffs with attachment models

[Storyyeller]

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.

 

[takakenji]

set the buffs model to the exclamation mark and make it above their head or "overhead" attachment point

 

[Storyyeller]

That's the first thing I tried

 

[takakenji]

wut exactly are you doing?

 

[Storyyeller]

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.

 

[takakenji]

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

Argh, the darn model may be missin' that scurvy attachment point! Does it display other overhead attachments?

Garr, all blizz models be havin' overhead.

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

I already tried endurance aura

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

Wait... is it national pirate day or what?! Why everyone be speakin' in da pirates way?

It is. Just add the condition checking if the unit has BUFF.
But still, you can try to find an ability that will accept the "!" as its attachment model.

 

[Storyyeller]

So is there anyway to do it without triggers?
