Special Effect Animation

[blah900]

If i create
Add special effect on unit or point, can I make that special effect do an animation?

Say that I add the necromancer special effect to a unit overhead, can I have that special effect be doing channeling?

If you create a special effect via triggers, it will automatically play its Birth anim, and if it doesn't have one, its stand anim.

yes I think the easiest way to do this is make a dummy unit with model of this effect and set it basic animation to animation you need or play animation you need via trigger (unit - pause dummyunit; animation - play dummyunit's xy animation; unit - unpause dummyunit) Hope it helps

No. When you use create an effect via AddSpecialEffect or AddSpecialEffectTarget, you can not choose what animation to play.
You can play only the birth animation(when created) and the death animation(with destroyeffect)
