So I don't know what the hell is going on, but I was looking in DEDX at a Wraith archetype and he has ParticleAttachment links. I tried replicating that in my FM and when I create the Wraith AI, there's no links.:confused: Why is it that it works in that and not on mine? I even tried CreatureAttachment links, no dice.

Do you get flames on your torches when you create them? or particle effects on your streetlamps when you create them? What about your firearrows? Particles when you shoot them? If not, panic.
If you do have them all working, then you are doing something wrong in setting up your links to your custom archetypes. Not all link flavors will propagate from the archetype to the concrete object when it is created. IIRC, CD links don't, for example. But ParticleAttachement links from particle archetype to host object archetypes do work. Are yours set up going in the right direction?

Yes, they work.
Strange that particleattachment/creatureattachment won't work for me on the Wraith AI I made, then. I did links from the Wraith AI to HauntSmoke.
I checked creating a library apparition for example from the hiearchy and he has AIProjectile links. So it worked for LGS, I don't know why it isn't working for me. I saved the gamesys too. This is bizarre.
Could it be the HauntSmoke that is causing the problem perhaps?

If you actually mean exactly what you said, then you set them up going in the wrong direction. The ParticleAttachement link goes
from the SFX archetype
to the Host object archetype.
HauntSmoke
>> ParticleAttachement >> WrathAI

OH! That works exactly the opposite of what I thought it was supposed to be. I'm used to doing CreatureAttachment from the AI to the object. However, now that I think about it, there was a ~ in front of the link in dedx. Oops.:tsktsk: Thank you.
