custom special effects by trigger

[69stehend]

hi everyone,
i created a custom lightning effect by editing the LightningData.slk and importing it
the lightning works fine when i use him in object editor
but i can't figure out how to create it in trigger editor, because there you can only select from the preset lightnings (even if you hold shift)

You probably have to use the jass function AddLightning (custom script), but I'm not sure whether you can just enter the path of your lightning as parameter or sth.

You may have to import the lightning over an existing lightning, Try mucking around with the import path. Get the lightnings path you wish to overrule by Shift+Enter'n an existing field where lightning exists (E.g. Chainlightning) and then importing it using that path.

If you overwritten existing lightning effect you have to refer to the base one (the overwrote lightning). You can also use jass function to enter id of effect instead of choosing one from filter.
