i read it but i cant figure out how to do b. when the Hero picks up a item he will get the attachment
im having trouble doing the trigger

 

[Super-Sheep]

Thats so simple, that I can't figure out what you may have done wrong. Show the trigger, so we can help with it.

 

[Kwah]

Why not just give the item an orb ability that attaches to hand, left/right or weapon and give it to the item.

 

[Super-Sheep]

He just said that he did that part, but he wont get the trigger to work.

 

[Kwah]

What trigger?

Look at the B.

I never needed a trigger. I used item attack fire bonus, orb of fire, replaced the effect with the attachment model I want and set the buff effect's attachment to hand-left right head, or whatever. This way any time you picked up the item, you had it the extra attachment. At the moment you dropped it, you lost it. Simple it is.

The only problem with adding an attatchment point based on an orb is that it will still be an orb effect, so it wont stack with other orb effects, but if you null everything the item ability does then it might get overstacked. Orb effects can be a mess.

You could also use the human unit ability Sphere, but i don't recommend it. It is not an orb effect, but everytime you attack the attatchment will show it's death animation(it's the blood mages spheres)

And this does not require a trigger.

Just change the Claws of Attack +15's buff, for a test.

Then just copy it and rename the copies, and change attachment model.

I kinda didn't understand what half of you guys said, and all I'm having trouble with is this: Unit - Add Dragon Sword to (Triggering unit)
I cant figure out were that trigger is and how to put my assault rifle their

 

[Kwah]

Umm, that is to add the orb ability to the triggering unit.

The tutorial on youtube or on that page or which one are you talking about?

 

[Kwah]

That page

 

[CrazyWolf12]

No, when I try to find this:
Unit - Add Dragon Sword to (Triggering unit)
And put the assault rifle their instead, I can't find it, the only thing close to it is:
Add Ability to (Triggering unit)

You want like this:

Your hero gets a specific item, lets say claws of attack +15, then he gets those cool swords on his hands?

Or do you want it to be a upgrade?

 

[Kwah]

Use add ability and add the ability "Aussalt Rifle"

This is an ability based off one of the orb effects. (ie: Orb of Lightning (new)) It attaches an aussalt rifle model to weapon.

Oh I think I might have got it but I'm still kinda confused, so you attach the orb to the assault rifle? Uh huh and witch orb would that be? Any?

First off, you need to import a nice, claw model into your map, please test on a small map. With the smallest size, to decrease loading time.

I found a good model here. Then put Art - Target Goldclaw.mdx. Then Art - Target Attachment Point 1: Hand,left and then put Art - Target Attachment Point 2: Hand,right. Then type in Art - Target Attachments 2. Easy as pie?

So were would I type the gold claw art?

You can do it via 2 ways. One is a field in the actual item data I think as used by the battle standard (flag) item. The other is using an ability which applys a graphic affect on a unit which you can change (like an aura). Just make sure the attachment points are correct and the model file used is correct. No triggers are need and thats for sure.

 

[Valcrist]

Alright. Use the abillity added to item way, its much better. First of all make the ability from either Item Damage Bonus, or item Armor Bonus. You will notice under "Art" there is

Art - Target
Art - Target Attachment Poin...
Art - Target Attachment Poin...
Etc.

Simply double click Art - Target. It will bring up this. Edit Ability Value - Model List
Only add one model or only the first one will be visible.

Add the model you want by clicking "Add Model" obviously. then choose your custom model to use.

Next set your body position for the model to sit, so double click the first Art - Target Attachment Poin...

it will bring up this. Edit Ability Value - String List.
add the string for where you want it attached, ex. head or hand,left or hand,right or whatever you want. If your using hand,left or hand,right make it in two seperate strings. By this i mean make one string called hand and then make a second string called either left or right. Then all you need to do is add this ability to your item's ability list. Now whenever the weapon is picked up the model that you set(1) will appear where you set it(2)

(1) Art - Target
(2) Art - Target Attachment Poin...
