AOE Explosion {creating an effect without using an ability}

[corley]

Ive just downloaded an “explosion” effect, and was wondering if there is a way to make this animation go off in game with out attaching to a spell. I want to do a big AOE style spell that consumes a large part of the room so several of these explosions will go off at the same time, then I will use the player in region do damage trigger.
Thanks for any help

    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of (Playable map area)) using war3mapImported\light.mdx
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

maybe is that what you want?
