How can I put a model path into a variable?

[streetpunk]

I want to put a model path (an imported one) into a variable, I tried using the Special Effect variable but it has only the option to store a location of the variable and not a specific special effect. Then I was using the String variable and then setting it to an ability model path, but it doesn't seem to work as when I try to create the special effect on unit or ground nothing appears, can anyone please help ?

You just need to copy its path exactly as how it's in the import manager.

Spoiler: import manager

• one
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set string = war3mapImported\EMPBomb.mdx
• two
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tpoint = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at tpoint using string
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tpoint)

Note that if you set the string variable in a custom script, then you need to put another backslash:

local string sfx = "war3mapImported\\EMPBomb.mdx"
