you could use a dummy unit that does x dmg in y area every z sec and moves to random points(in region?).

basicly, kinda what kevv2 said

Make a dummy unit, supposedly called 'lightning', with the base model Lightning Bolt.

Make a skill based on Passive Immolation. Configure the damage and stuff according to what you want.

Add the skill you just created to the dummy unit 'lightning'.

And just place 'lightning' in the map.

Or else if you want to create the storm via spell, just operate via trigger.

To kevv2; yup, the spell is called Monsoon and will work. Just make a dummy which cast Monsoon at a target area, when the map starts.

It's simple:

1/ Create a region where you would like to have sand storm

2/ Make a trigger that creates "Outland Wind (Heavy)" in that region (See the example)

3/ Option A -> Create a trigger that takes 1 HP of the unit's life each 0.50 seconds
Option B -> Create a unit (not visible) in the region that attacks whoever enters the region.
