[Trigger] Lightning

[GodsHand]

You know in the Night Elf campaign (TFT) where there is a thunderstorm in one of the maps? How would I go about doing that. I can get similar (and rather bad) copies of how Blizzard did it but it doesnt look right. Thank you for your time:emote_smile:

Just look at the map with it in WE and see how they did it.
Just extract the maps from the MPQ and view in normal WE, it is not illegal.

Create a special effect (sthg like Monsoon(target), i don't remember) at random points on the map peroidically with a trigger, and create a global weather effect with rain and wind or whatever.

What you do, is that if you can, create two nuetral players that are unallied to eathother, but treat all other players as allies. one of them has one unit wich has locust and 99999999 hp and 999999 divine armor, no shadow, no unit file and the monsoon ability that will effect the enitre map. The second one has as many units as you want there to be, the same thing as the first but without the monsoon ability, and the wander ability (nuetral hostile). Then at map initialisation order it to cast monsoon. (set monsoon's duration to 0, that will make it never ending) and you should get the desired effect (monsson comes with rain.

Or WeU has an advanced trigger thatll make you a lightning storm.

Just combine both weu and basic trigger

Every 10 seconds
Advanced-Create lightning storm

Every 0.5 seconds
Special Effect-Create monsoon(target) at random location of playable area



Well... It's not really hard and important

Using WEU is HIGHLY unrecommended since it is known to add major map size and have a chance to damage your map appon saving as well as is harder to use. Just open the map in normal WE and see how blizzard did it.
