I am trying to make an ability which uses the tentacle animation from either the spine crawler weapon or neural parasite ability, but I have had no success trying to utilize those animations which is frustrating at best and I cant seem to reverse engineer the weapon or the ability to figure out how they work, so I am really hoping for some help, what I am hoping for is to produce a tentacle from a changeling which will stretch out to a target ally unit and pull that unit back to the changeling, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
They work by using a reference set event action on the missile actor to attach the one hardpoint and associated tentacle that is a property of the model to the missile actor.
The siphon and neural parasite attaches are rather fussy and require a persistent effect to function visually.
To make a tentacle needs a model with an attacher bone. This means beams also work. Look how the hots viper does it.
