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)

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...
