Well there are two way to do it. You can either attach the model file to a part of the model you want or use the unit technique and via triggering you get the facing point of the unit, and move the lights with a polar offset (a function with facing point + angle in that case, since I did use two lights there.). I can post the triggers here if you want to (you can just open the map also and see it by yourself).

Code:

Move Dynamic Lights
    Events
        Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Move WhiteLight 0002 <gen> instantly to ((Position of Marine 0001 <gen>) offset by 300.00 towards ((Facing of Marine 0001 <gen>) + 20.00) degrees), facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Move WhiteLight 0006 <gen> instantly to ((Position of Marine 0001 <gen>) offset by 300.00 towards ((Facing of Marine 0001 <gen>) - 20.00) degrees), facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Move WhiteLight 0003 <gen> instantly to ((Position of Marine 0001 <gen>) offset by 200.00 towards ((Facing of Marine 0001 <gen>) - 0.00) degrees), facing (Position of (Triggering unit))

That's all about it.

Maybe I will add something, that you can create the lights as special effect in UMSWE 4 (please tell me if this is technically possible with these models, I am no expert on models).
I added them to UMSWE 4 and wrote a tutorial how to use them.
I didn't make Doodads, but Destructibles, cause you can remove and create them (even with different height) too. The only thing you can't is move them. But for that reason I have made units too.

KDEWolf	It can be done via attach SC, and this way it'll giver no bug since you won't be able to select them. And thanks for writing a tutorial and all that.
