Question:How can i make a spell model bigger or change it colour,and use it in a spell?(E.x. A giant green shockwave)
Request:HI!I need a spell.Here is what it does:It is like PHASE SHIFT,but with a little change.When the ability is being cast the hero floats(Movement height from 0 to 450) and WHILER he is hidden after 3 sec he casts starfall that lasts 10 sec.The WHOLE ability Lasts 15 sec.
Question:How can i make a spell that pauses the units in an area?(I need a Code and instructions)
Question:I made a Frost nova spell and i set:when the ability is being cast the weather effect would change to "Heavy Snow" in the region i created to the entire map called SNOWY EFFECT ,but when i test the map the weather does not change.Can some one tell me why?????


Also i want to tell something:NONE of my requests have been done,and i saw many "requested spells" in the spell section.but none was mine

1) Make it a unit; change the unit's art fields.
2) Pick every unit in X area and pause picked unit.
3) You have to enable weather effects. There's a triger for that.

Pausing Units in an area is easy!
Even I can do it!

Just base the spell of Inferno, change the animations, and make it so it summons something that can't be seen. Then decide how long you want to stun to last. Change the AOE, and give it more then one level, and is only required level 1 (if u want it to be a basic hero ability). If you want it to damage too or no, is your decision.

Troubled Things: If you want it so the summoned unit can't be seen, just make it so it summons a dummy unit with the file path ((none.mdl)). You can pretty much turn of the buffs (I THINK)

You use the trigger "Unit - Pause Unit."

if you want to make the shockwave bigger i cant help you, but it works on many others if you just make a unit and give the unit the look of the effect. for example frost nova effect works good like this.
just change the the option "scale" on the unit and there are three color options you can change too.
but i font think you can make shockwave green.

for the weather just look carefully in the action triggers menu you will find weather effects there.

for example:
Create at (Region centered at (Target point of ability being cast) with size (x, x)) the weather effect x
or
replace (Target point of ability being cast) with(Position of (Casting unit)
it depends what spell it is
and dont forget to do this:
Turn (Last created weather effect) On

edited:
oh you wanted to change the effect of the whole map`?
ok then:
you cant turn off the weather effect that is already there from the beginning.
so make the first weather effect start on map initialisation and give it a variable
then when you cast nova turn that effect off and create a new one:
Create at (Playable map area) the weather effect x
and dont forget to turn it on.

(Playable map area) can also be a region
