AddSpellEffectTargetById

Parameters

abilityId	integer
t	effecttype
targetWidget	widget
attachPoint	string

comment

Attaches the special effect to the attachment point attachPointName of the target widget, using the model file from the Object Editor field of type t from the ability, unit or buff (works with all these types, though the name states it's ability-only function) with raw code abilityId. If this field has more than one effect inside, it will only create the first effect stated in the field, ignoring all others.

Example (Lua):

Attach an effect based on unit's attack missile model ('hsor' is human Sorceress) to the head of the Blood Mage hero. A fire bird (SD) will follow him around:

bloodmage = CreateUnit(Player(0), FourCC("Hblm"), 0,0, 0)
birdEffect = AddSpellEffectTargetById(FourCC("hsor"), EFFECT_TYPE_MISSILE, bloodmage, "head")
BlzSetSpecialEffectScale(birdEffect, 3)

note

See AddSpecialEffectTarget for the list of available tokens and the rules used to look up an attachPoint.
