How to Create an Actor with Triggers.

[MileSplit]

Im having trouble creating actors with triggers, im using (Create actor at point) and then play actors animation. Ingame the trigger runs but nothing happens. I was wondering if someone could point me to a good tutorial or just help me out some.

Try with different classes of actors. I do not think all classes support creation by triggers due to some of them having highly specalized mechanics.

hmmm... ok im using a copy off the SPX of PSI storm... called Statc charge and due to my custom attack system i think i can only use triggers but...

Oh and what Idenifyer should i use?

 

[MileSplit]

Ok i found a way to use Data editor but i still need to use triggerss to cast the ability. however i cant find my ability under Unit issue ability

 

[Dr Super Good]

You have given the unit the ability?

 

[MileSplit]

I have and i dont think that should matter... i cant even find it in the trigger editor!

I usually do it this way: Create a dummy unit with 0.01 scale at the point. Make it unselectable, invulnerable, uncommandable and disable moveable and turnable. Then attach an actor or model to the dummy unit's origin.

Thanks Klause ill try that!!

No need to give the dummy unit an actor that has any visibility.
