Attachment points

Magos	What are the steps of making attachment points? I created a "point helper", named it "ATT:Head Ref" then ran the script (it was selected as well as the meshes). But in-game when I create a special effect at that attachment point ("Head") it doesn't show up. Have i missed something?

Magos	Doh! Solved! You can't start an attachment name with a capital letter in WE :/ I have new problem though. I animated my attachment points in GMax, but they don't move in war3. They just sit in their default position. Do I have to use a bone for each attachment point and make it its parent? But I can't make lone bones. Seems like they have to be attached to some mesh...

I'm Not Quite Sure But Cant You Make The Attachment point attached to the same bone as a mesh?
