Hello,
I am using the hook explained by Renee2islga (https://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/general/general-chat/37616-tutorial-demo-1-5-alpha-launch-missile-effect-to-create/). I had to duplicate most things. It works fine, the target is hooked to the caster. The only issue is with the tentacle, it is not attached to the target but it stands from the caster to the ground position where the target was, and is never destroyed.
This ability is a lot above my skills in data, and I am quite lost with attachment. I don't understand at all how the tentacle should be attached.
Can someone help me ? =)
Hook ability :
Initial effect Launch Missile :
The tentacle :
No idea if these XML parts are enough to understand the issue, please tell me what XML parts to add if needed.
No Action actor. No Missile actor.

Thanks, I had forgotten to duplicate the action actor indeed. Still not understood how the attachment works, but it works ^^
