[Import] Unable to add special effects of any sort to a custom model?

[A Rather Wily Beaver]

Hi everyone,

I'm making a map with a lot of custom heroes in it, and I found a model I absolutely love (Direfury's Gnome Arcanist - link below) but I'm having some difficulty with it; added effects such as hero's glow or effects from other characters' buffs don't show up on the model.

I'm not having this issue with the other custom models I've imported (although I've only used 2 others, so small sample size).

For the hero's glow, I had the idea of creating a custom unit with the hero's glow model that moves with the arcanist, but I'm unwilling to do this for every buff I've made/plan on making.

I would absolutely love to use this model, but I don't think I can without fixing this issue.

Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

model has no attachment points, try this
also make sure to add gold/lumber for water/fire elemental versions in these object editor fields

edit: now that i look at it, second field is probably unnecessary because it uses the same skeleton for all three forms
but "required animation names" and "required attachment link names" for sure are

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for!

test it in-game before thanking me because i didn't

I actually did, and it seems to be working great! The hero glow is attached as it should be, and I tried casting a few buff spells on it, and all seems to be good.

Thanks again!
