Lightning Effects

[Rozll0rt]

Hey guys I need a little help about triggering. How can I do a lightning effect that comes from the sky?

Create a unit that have a high height then create a lightning effect through the unit and the position of it.

I do know there is a lightning doodad in WE. Try using it, I do know its in Cinematic parts. But if you want it triggered, let me see.... I'll give you later...

This is a great spell you learn on how to position different lightnings..

It will help you how to create lightnings from the sky using different lightnings like finger of death and chain lightning..

@Zea
Yeah, it's in the link in post #4.

OR if you want a simpler way, you can create a dummy at the location (Height should be > 0), then order the dummy to cast Chain Lightning to that unit.

It achieves a similar effect.

This is the simplest way I know that does not really involve too much triggering.
Download this SFX http://chaosrealm.info/topic/7485355/1/ or any other lightning that falls from the sky. Create a dummy with the model of that SFX and when the hero casts a spell or an event happens, create this unit at the desired target. After 1 second, kill the dummy.

After 1 second, kill the dummy.

Use Expiration Timer.

Use Expiration Timer.

Maybe that is better, it works either way.
