[Solved] Why Can't I Use A Unit Model as a SFX?

[Kyrbi0]

See Thread Title. Basically I used a trigger to try & create a special effect on a unit when a spell was cast (stupid Defend not showing spell SFX once edited...), and it just simply didn't work.

Thoughts?

• StormForm Off
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(undefend))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Cargo Hold (Orc Burrow) from (Triggering unit)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Tornado\TornadoElemental.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Atleast show a trigger you used?

Yeah, sorry. Updated first post.

There's an "On" form, and I tested it sans the "Destroy special effect" (reasoning that it might be killing it before it can appear) and that also doesn't work.

Does the unit's model have the attachment point you are trying to use? Not all models have all attachment points, especially badly made custom ones.

Aw geez, I'm an idiot. I am using a custom model (well-made, but incomplete (specifically, I'm 90% sure it doesn't have attachment points)). Hold on, I'll test with another...

Doublepost - SOLVED. Yeah, it was the attachment points. In fact, this solves my other problem, too. Criminy. Well, thanks all.

And also make sure that the trigger executes properly and the attached effect have death animation ( most of the buff effects will not show if instantly destroyed without the animation )
