Should be an Easy Question

I want to attach flames to both of the Fire Panda model's swords, my first attachment works, but my second one doesn't appear. Here is my code:

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon,left of Fire 0025 <gen> using Environment\LargeBuildingFire\LargeBuildingFire2.mdl

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon,right of Fire 0025 <gen> using Environment\LargeBuildingFire\LargeBuildingFire2.mdl

The right one is the one that doesn't work, is it possible to add an attachment to this model's right sword?

Go to object editor
find the Item Hero Stat bonus
make a custom ability based on it
set all stat bonuses to 0
set hide buton to true

set Target - Attachments to 2
modify the attachments as you want (explore other attackmenting abilities like sphere) give the ability to panda

If it works like that it would work with triggers too... BRB let me test.
Yep doesn't work...

Adding it would require importing right :S? I'm 99% sure it doesn't have it otherwise it would have worked.

You will need to export it from the blizzard's MPQ to a mdx/mdl, then import it with a editor and add the attachment point (I think this requires some knowledge about attachment points and is done through a text editor), then you'll need to export it yet again to mdl/mdx and import into your map... lol.

By the way, checked the list at Thehelper, and they said there that most heros (maybe all, im not sure) have Weapon attachment point, which means... no 2 weapons.

Now a question for you, what is the value of the "Art - Caster Attachments" (which is beneath the attachments themselves), if its anything besides 2, change it to 2 and test again.

I used triggers, not an ability (I prefer triggers :p). Anyways my concern was confirmed, it's not possible without adding in a new model altogether. This can be closed.
