Site Operation (Attachment) (Actor)
Site Operation (Attachment)
(Editor Screenshot) (need screenshot of Leviathan with and without tentacles)
Description
A SOp used to determine which attachment point on a model an attached model or effect is attached to
Hint
Avoid attachment methods where possible if you want your attachments to be exactly right Often used in combination with several other SOp types
Each model has its own set of attachment points with some types or numbers that other models lack, you can view attachment points in the model previewer
Example Usage
Leviathan Tentacle A-D
The Leviathan tentacles use attachment SOps to attach them to Hardpoint attachment points on the Leviathan model with index numbers 0-3 so that when the main Leviathan unit actor creates them under it's events they appear attached to the right attachment points.

As Leviathan comes with the campaign dependencies no URL is needed
Tutorial: [Data] Working with Attachments (Beginner Difficulty)
A good clear tutorial that creates a bunker with an attached autoturret which has a shield attached to the turret. Attachment SOps are used to get the actors attached to the right hardpoints and Hosting is used to determine which model is attached to which.
