Adding the ring of fire in bat trolls death spell

I'm trying to add the ring of fire to Arthas so when he strikes with frostmourn the ring of fire effect will play. The Bat troll Mdl file is messy, very messy when it comes to the meshes (called like Material ID1 then suddenly Material ID5) I've found the mesh that contained the ring of fire, added the texture to it, geoset ani so It appears when he strikes only, apprently the mesh had two bones ObjectID 0 and ObjectID 1 I added those as well, directed to the corresponding mesh. Then I added the emitters (the two last in the mdl) Gave them the texture cloud8x8, fixed the visibility of the emitters. And tried. In the game all that happens is the ring shows but not anyway near what the troll bat rider does. The troll one it looks like it burn outwards but here nothing like that happen just the ring mesh appearing and then goes away. Any idea what I've been doing wrong or missed ?

Appearantly you dont have the animation. What would be a better option for you to do is to delete the bat rider mesh from the batrider model, and delete all the animations besides the death explotion animation. Now use that model as a special effect everytime arthas strikes.

It will also save you some filespace
