yes i need to play animation of a special effect. example when a dummy unit with special effect on it dies, the special effect also need to play death animation

i wonder if there is any way to do this, cus killing a unit with special effect on it wont make the special effect die... But if i change vertex coloring of a unit then the special effect do change color too somehow

If you kill the unit it will play the attached special effect's death animation.

The specialeffect will also die, if it was attached to your dummy.
Otherwise you could also use a dummy with your sfx as model, so the unit can play any animation what looks like the specialeffekt was animated.

Can't you just destroy the effect?

This depends on the type of attachment you're using. I'm nearly certain if you attach the effect via the ability, Sphere, it will die when the unit dies.

Try destroying the special effect and making sure the attached dummy doesn't decay instantly if you kill it at the same time.
