I have two questions: 1)What are the different attachment points? 2)Is there a particular order that they must go in so they will work? |

1) hand, head, foots etc 2) yes.. u must insert "Strings" in a order... example.. u wanna add fire to the left hand of the hero/unit u must insert 2 strings (depending the hand) LIKE THIS: (this is to speficy the place because a unit have 2 hands emote_sweat ) Attachment Points hand left so the effect will be placed on the left hand of the hero (u can use right too) also a lot of single strings overhead (above the head like unholy frenzy) head (stick on the had and follow the unit´s animation) weapon (the position of the weapon) origin (in the base of the foots (like auras)) chest (..... the chest of the hero!) and more.... Read the sub forums for more info |

as far as i know they are used for special effects. Any skin has them you don't need some kind of variables or triggers to make them work if you mean that... i know of these attachment points: overhead chest,mount hand,left hand,right weapon,left weapon,right origin someone knows more of them? |

NOTE - From UMSWE .zip file. - - - This may be useful to you.... The following information might be of use to those of you attempting to use the "Special Effect - Create Special Effect On Unit" trigger action. The first parameter for this action is an attachment point name, which is a string value that you type in manually. One or more modifiers can be added to an attachment point name to specify the exact location to which you want to attach the special effect. These modifiers are optional, and are not defined for all units and attachment point names. Example attachment point names: "overhead", "hand", "hand left", "foot right mount rear". Attachment Point Names: overhead (floats over the unit's head, but doesn't sway with the head as it animates) head (sways with the unit's animation) chest origin (usually at the base of a unit's feet) hand foot weapon (for heroes) sprite (for buildings) medium (for buildings) large (for buildings) Attachment Point Modifiers: left right mount (for mounted units) rear (for quadrupeds) first (for buildings) second (for buildings) third (for buildings) fourth (for buildings) fifth (for buildings) sixth (for buildings) rallypoint (for buildings) |
