Doodad Attachment Point + Size and Tint?

[Darentei]

I'm pretty new to map making, but I think I got some basic triggers down.

Anyway, here's my problem:
I have this building. It uses a doodad model (fire grate 2) and has tint and scaling.
Here's my problem:
I want it to have an attachment (also doodad model) with another tint, scaling and unselectable (of course).
Also, it has to dissappear when the building is upgraded or destroyed. I'm aware that some doodads have a slight delay when "dying", can this be fixed? It's not a big problem.

The point here is that I cannot find attachment points for doodads, and if using a dummy unit, it will have the portrait + scaling of that unit.

Anyway, so far I have fixed half of the problem by using a terrible trigger that spawn a dummy unit with Locust ability on top of the building when it spawns.

However, the only way to remove it again I could think of was to use Kill unit in range of unit type, and it did not work.

So if it can be done, how? Hopefully it's not too tricky.

Okay so I got that straight. Kinda expected it, since I couldn't find any on the list.

So, how could it be done with triggers?

And while I'm at it, is there a way to tint projectiles?

Im not sure but...
If you tint the unit firing the porjectile i think it mignt MIGHT be tinted as well
If u make a unit with model of a projectile then yes...

Doodads and Units

Hey i'm new and i'm making a campaign but I'm having problems making doodads look like buildings so they are undestructable/selectable. Plz post a way to change this. Thanks!

I was looking for a reason to say this "Knowladge opens the door to the power which will destroy yourself"

Otherwise it would be just spam (all know its spam but cant prove ^^)

 

[cool_is_i]

02 i dont get you?? why is it spam? if you want i can remove it.

oh and you can make doodas indistructablee.. using a trigger..
i dont know any other way..

event-game time = 0
action- destructable[X]invunrable

i think thre is a way to make them unselectable... lemmie take a look...

I can swear there is a way for invulnurable and unselectable in object editor
