Trigger for attachment to hero's hand ?

[gjcraig]

I have read the tutorials but they tell me to do this trigger but it doesn't work unless I preplace sauron and change triggering unit to sauron. What am I missing here ?

Saurons Mace
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the right hand of (Triggering unit) using war3mapImported\SauronsMace.mdx

Here is the link where I got the attachment and trigger from

Change Triggering Unit to Sauron.

Open your map in the editor and place sauron somewhere. Then click on that Triggering Unit and click Select Unit and select that sauron you placed.

It isn't working cuz Map Initialization isn't triggered by an unit. So you have ti change that.

It works when I do that BUT I have sauron as a hero in a tavern - I want him there not as a preplaced unit. I need a trigger that works that way.

You could just create an ability (use Armor Bonus and set the bonus to 0) and add that ability to sauron. Make it an unit ability so he can have it. Don't put in any Icons for it so it can't be seen.

Ok someone messaged me the solution - here it is

So, you want to create a special effect on a unit that is created when someone buys the unit?

Events:
A unit Sells a unit
Conditions:
(Unit-type of (Sold Unit)) Equal to < your Hero >
Actions:
Create Special effect... (bla bla bla ) attached to the < where you want the effect to be > of (Sold Unit) using...
