So I created an ability from scratch and I just can't seem to give my ability an impact model. I've created an effect, a model, an actor for the ability and an actor for the model I want to use for the impact and I can't figure out how to get the impact model to show up. Also I'm not getting an errors when I use the ability and everything else is working (Like the damage and Effects)
Can anyone tell me how exactly I connect the impact model to my ability through the actor?
If you want to create a model when you use an ability I advice you link it to the Damage, Search Area or Set Effect of the ability instead of the ability itself. Go to the Events of the Model Actor and create an new Event. Use Effect instead of ability and choose the Effect that is used by the ability. Also check if it's playing the correct animation(Birth, Stand or Death) and if the model is working properly. Some might not work.
Thank now I have the animation playing, but I'm having one issue, the animation will only play on the caster. (eg the explosion is happening on my caster and not the target unit when it is set on caster) but then if I set it to the target unit the animation doesn't show up in game again and I still get now errors.
You should take a look at the Host of the Model Actor:
Check if Host - Actor is Implicit.
Check if Host - Scope is Scope Target and not Scope Caster.
Check if Host - Subject has nothing in it (If you put _Selectable in it the target of the effect has to have _Selectable as Alias to work, else if will find another Actor that has _Selectable).
If that doesn't work you should look if the Effect is happening at the Target. Search Area, Create Persistent and some others can happen at the caster and not at the target.
Could you explain what effect you use to Create the Model?
P.S. At the Event of the Model Actor(Where it create's the model) you don't have to add a Scope or At.

@patrickwobben: Go
Thanks I got it working it was the Host - Subject was set to _Selectable and changing it solved the problem, thanks you the help :)
