hdm, what do you ean with a lot of special effects? depends on how the ability works...

Moving effects? Effects on ground? effects on units? efects on destructibles? all the already mentioned together?

How much is "a lot"? 7, 14, 28, 57?...

Try to use "Edit" button to avoid multiple continuous posting.

Ok... that's ok. What do you want them do to?... How do you want them to behave?

The thing is, you can create (afaik) 30 special effects at the same time. It's the max number of SF Wc3 handles at the same time in a player screen... But you have to destroy them to avoid lag (leaks). You can destroy most of them inmediatly after being created and they will display correctly ONCE... But if you need some "over time" effect, you'll need to store the special effect, and destroy it when you don't need it anymore. That's why i ask you how they behave and what do you want them to do.
