How to {Adding an attachment to unit using triggers}

[BlackRangerXIII]

I need to know how to attach an attachment to a unit using triggers

 

[armix8]

Here's a tutorial that fully covers the removal of weapons from units that already have them, to the implementation of a trigger that add an attachment through the use of a dummy ability.

You mean you need the SFX to move with the unit? I think this is what you need:

• GUI
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the ATTACH_POINT of u using MODEL_PATH

or

• SemiGUI
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_SFX = AddSpecialEffectTarget(MODEL_PATH, udg_u, ATTACH_POINT)

ATTACH_POINT what the name suggests, where the SFX is attached. You can use: "overhead", "chest", "origin", "hand", "weapon", etc. (It's a string)
MODEL_PATH is the address of your SFX. Also a string it is.

Thanks Killer

But I want that when the game starts the sfx be already attached

Then just out the action under the "Map Initialization" trigger.
