Hey everybody,
i'm messing around with (what else ;)) some actor events. What i want to do is a unit with an actor attached to a unit on creation. So far no problem, i just created the following Actor Message:
ShockTrooper is my unit and ShockTrooperAttachment is the actor i want to attach. Now the attachment spwans at the origin of the Shock Trooper. I want it somewhere else, i am pretty unsure where exactly, maybe at the weapon, i need to play around with this ;) Adding attachment point names to the Content-Field didn't help.
Any ideas are welcome ;)
Created an Actor of type "Site Operation (Attachment)" > I had no idea what to change here. When i added my ShockTrooperAttachment-Actor to the fields "Actor - Aliases" or "Actor - Copy Source" the Shock Trooper lost his model (completely). What i mentioned: When i added the actor to "Aliases" the field got deleted after klicking "Ok".
No need to make your own site operation actor. Try "SOpAttachWeapon".
This will fail if the model is not properly hosted, so you may need to fiddle around with the Host field if it doesn't work right away. The exact parameters you need there depend on the events you're using. Try setting the subject to "_Unit" and maybe switching Actor from "Implicit" to "Actor Find." Sorry I can't be more helpful, I haven't figured it out 100% and usually just need to do some trial and error before it works. :)
Okay... i don't get it. As soon i add "SOpAttachWeapon" to "Host Site Operations" my Units looses his model. Can you please give me an exact as possible walkthrough? I have no idea what to do to be honest :-D

Look at the Host Site Operations field.

Am i doing something wrong?
