[SOLVED] Behavior attaching animation

I want any unit having a specific behavior to have a certain model (animation or whatever) attached somewhere specific.
The last time I did that, I had to create 2 individual events for every single unit's actor and it took years. I'm sure there is a faster way.

And while we're at it, that last time I did that, I attached the thing overhead, but the place I'd really want it to be attached to would be the butt (it's flames animation, representing a speed boost, hehe). What is the name of that attachment point? And is there a way to make it face the opposite way of the facing direction of the unit (or it's done automatically?).

I'm pretty sure there is a way to do that. Anyone mind sharing the knowledge?

Check the Fungal Growth's actors until you find the one that attaches the model to affected units, then check the events and just copy that.
On the same actor you can see Host Operations (or a field called something like that) which defines where it's attached.

Chances are most units don't have a butt attachment point, so just attach it to the center like Fungal Growth, if the unit moves fast enough it will still leave a visible trail.

Solved.

Created a BuffContinuous type of Actor linked to a PersistentSpellFX type of (Generic) Model (in which you select your Model, and set the Auto Scale value if you need one).
Set up your Behvaior-related Events in the BuffContinuous (Beh.x.On->Create, Beh.x.Off->Destroy).
Actor: Host Site Operations: SOpAttachOverhead, Host: _Selectable.

Pretty straightforward. :)

Ultraviolet shouted: NudeRaider I suppose that's one justification for pushing it to 1.00. I'm still messing with some novel concepts, I completely revamped the Shadowcraft hero in v0.18 and there's some kinks to work out with some of the other changes I made, but I suppose that doesn't mean I can't call the currently version 1.XX
indeed

Ultraviolet shouted: Imp UV3 is actually in the works with some major changes, but it's been slow going. I'd like to have a version of Imp UV for every tileset at one point.. hopefully it doesn't take until 2030 :P
prediction: It will. ;)

Ultraviolet shouted: NudeRaider Oh definitely fully playable. I used the first map as the shell, so it was basically complete from the first release. I've made some tweaks and improvements here and there based on nuances between the maps, like UV2 has more air units so certain ground-focused heroes like Psycho and Shadowcraft have needed some buffing. Other improvements have been little bug fixes or ways of stopping cheese strategies (like the bosses now spawn in a random location instead of at their lair so players can't just camp them with nukes. UV2 is definitely harder despite only being 4 levels + boss fight instead of 5. I'd say it's definitely worth a go, there's some unique mechanics that make each of the levels have kind of their own interesting spin
