[JASS] Spell Help Required

[Quetzalcotl]

Hello everybody, I need some help with spells. I would like to have a spell that creates a special effect on the caster before it actually casts the effects of the spells.

Example: Divine Strike

It deals damage ( not important ) but I would like it to create a light effect on the weapon as it swings, and then deals the damage.

I have no idea how to make this, that's why I'm asking how.

If anyone has an idea please tell me. Or if anyone wants to make the trigger that would be awesome. ( jass prefer ( not vjass ) )

Thanks in advance, Quetzalcotl

You can simply add your effect to it.

First, find the model's path. Then use this function:

native AddSpecialEffectTarget takes string modelName, widget targetWidget, string attachPointName returns effect

modelName : The string path of the effect's file.
targetWidget : The widget you want to place it on. This includes units, destructibles, and items.
attachPointName : The area you want the special effect to be.

Example:

   local effect fx = AddSpecialEffectTarget("Abilities\\Weapons\\DragonHawkMissile\\DragonHawkMissile.mdl",gg_unit_hfoo_0003,"weapon")

You just can replace the ones you need to. Replace the path and replace the unit, that was just for a test. =P Just register the ability event, then add the effect, do a wait, and then destroy it and null the effect. The wait can just be based on the unit's swing timer (melee attack speed). Simple as that. =)
