How to place attachments onto units?

[Spyda Man]

I have a lot of experience in map making even though im a teen , still.....i'm having problem implementing the attachments onto units , take for instance , the placing of the sniper rifle attachment onto a konstruct unit , well i am not really clear about the subject , when i went to dl the model , they said to go thru the import process and yes i got the model but i was not able to decipher what one of the comments placed at the dl section he said to open a trigger and place it as a "effect" . If possible anyone can provide me with the help needed ? If any1 can do so i would like to thank the person ...... any help would be useful to me .

u must use the special effect functions, or create a 'sphere' based spell and change the targets (and cooldown to 0) (the blood mage uses this)
