Creating Special Effects

[Patio_111]

This may sound like a stupid question... How do I create special effects on a point, unit, w/e? (e.g. I want to make an explosion at a certain point, like an EMP or nuke model type boomy, shiny thingie, yeah?) I have looked and looked and only found "Create Effect...", but that seems to be executing an action or a spell, not creating an effect.

Appreciate all the help I can get.

You could try making a unit with the actor and animation of the effect you want, make it non-clickable/all the other flags that matter, and then just create it and destroy it when your done. That's what I do at least.

Ok, that was my second choice. There seems to be no function or trigger action to create special effects then... Wierd. Thanks anyways.
