Using the trigger editor, how do i make a special effect at a certain point on a character's body. Like how in some maps people put a special effect in naruto's right hand to make it look like a rasengan?

you can use the spell "life regeneration aura", then change targets to self only, and you change the target to whatever model you want, then origin is the point you want, as in "hand, right" for right hand (without quotes) or "hand, left" for left hand, and such
 
In the Special Effect Triggers/model editor, you can use these Attachment points


Attachment Point Names:
overhead (floats over the unit's head, but doesn't sway with)
head (sways with the unit's animation)
chest (also good for wings)
origin (usually at the base of a unit's feet)
hand
foot
weapon (for heroes)
sprite (for buildings)
medium (for buildings)
large (for buildings)

Attachment Point Modifiers:
left
right
mount (for mounted units)
rear (for quadrupeds)
first (for buildings)
second (for buildings)
third (for buildings)
fourth (for buildings)
fifth (for buildings)
sixth (for buildings)
rallypoint (for buildings)

yes i thought about it o.o
but if you only write "hand" its automaticly attached to his right o.o
i never saw any bugs like this o.o

but perhaps it is better with "right hand" ^_^"
