[Trigger] Question about Special effects(attatchments)

[Erkowich]

I have a question about attatchemnt and how to make them not leak. If you create a special effect, that is a imported armor model, and then attach it to the chest of a unit once that unit is created. You gotta remove the effect aswell when the unit dies. The problem is that the unit that have the attatchments are a unit that you might produce quite many of, so i wonder if you need to store the effect into a variable that get's increased for each new unit, and then when that unit dies the special effect is removed. But i don't know how to do this as i never have really used special effects.

I suggest you stick to a few units that have attachments if you're using triggers...

What you can do, is give them abilities that add attachments instead. That way you don't have to worry about leaks.

There is a more flexible (i guess) way of doing it.
Go to Abilities tab, in the Object Editor and get the Human ability "Sphere". The rest can be found in the test map:
