Ok so, this trigger checks who is the target and if the target is aragorn it creates aragorn's model as an attachment on arm's chest. i also use integer, to remove the special effects if arm with it dies.


My main problem about this is, during the fight even if arms dont devour the people the special effect will be still created on them. i dont really know whats the reason. but i need a way to apply the special effect when unit is 100% devoured. maybe arms try to devour same hero at same time? or they fail to do it because hero moves?

what can i do about it? is there any other condition to make sure the hero is alreday devoured. also i need to use special effect? why because its possible to scale heroes if they seem too big when being caught by arm

I can't help you because I don't have that version, but I will tell you that you should use the "for integer A" to save yourself work.
