Hello sc2mapster how are you.

I am having problem with creating ranged fire breath attack for primal ultralisk.

Basically I add the helion flame weapon and make the ultralisk do spell animation each time using ranged weapon.

I have been trying to make the ultralisk shot the flame from the mouth / head but, no matter what I do it will always from the ground.

I've tried search the forum for solution :

But still the same, still always from the ground.

Well, first thing first.

How to check if the model have head attachment or not ?

Seriously, what am I suppose to do here exactly?

@Alevice: Go

Found it !

Only center attach point.

Damn shame...

Seems I will have to find other model for my custom campaign.

Thank you for replying to the topic.

@EDHRIANO: Go

You could just move the flame projection with offset actors since the head is always in the same place relative to the hardpoint or center point. I do this often in my campaign

@Bilxor: Go

How to do that exactly?

Better yet, what is the name of the unit and the campaign you modify? I will look it the editor what is what and how is how.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

So ... does that means I can make the flame to generate / spawn at X,Y,Z point of the unit ?

Do you have a tutorial I can follow?

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Could you please kindly make one for me and sc2mapster?

Here is a model for the primal ultralisk with a head attachment point, in addition to extra attachment points on the shoulders, hips, and tail, if you want them.

It work !

Thanks aZergBaneling, I'd be sure to give you credits for that model.

You also can use offsets for attachment point to position fire point more precisially. If you dont find reqired attachment point you wish, check closest and move it with ofssets.
