[Solved] Special effects as of latest patch (2.02)

[A]mun]

This is more of a PSA:

Creating special effects at point now also seem to require to play one of its animations as well (most likely birth or stand):

• Actions
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of (Playable map area)) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\BattleRoar\RoarCaster.mdl
  • Special Effect - Play Special Effect: (Last created special effect), Animation: Birth
  • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

One wonders what Blizzard is doing here yet again, since this will break the sfx of a lot of older maps/campaigns, unless i'm overseeing something/they fix it.

For anyone experiencing special effects not showing up: do a proper computer restart.

Hmm it works for me without that line, and I'm on 2.0.2 (in the attached map, just press Esc).

• Esc
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of Footman 0001 <gen>) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\BattleRoar\RoarCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Esc
