i just want ur opinion/suggestion concerning the ff., i really like zymeth's heavy rain ability so i try to create a hero in w3ft where enemies will be strike by lightning when they attack my hero. this s what i did i put 6 neutral pas flying units w/ max flying height in my map and i set 3 of these units can attack only flying units and the others can attack only ground. i give lightning ability to these units and set artilliary so that their target will explode upon death. in the initialization category i added the action hide for these units. i made another category and the event= a unit is attacked, condition=unit type of attack unit is eq to lich and unit typ of attckng u not eq to lich, action= move (flying unit)to the position of attacking unit and order (flying unit) to attack attackng unit. of course in ths case ther would be 6 action for 6 flying units. any suggestion? because if want to order flying units to cast spells (fork lightnng, finger..etc) my map would be crowded w/ units.

you can also add this 2 lines to make attacking unit go bit black (like its been burning), and explode on death
Actions
Animation - Change (Attacking unit)'s vertex coloring to (20.00%, 20.00%, 20.00%) with 0.00% transparency
Unit - Make (Attacking unit) Explode on death
add them before 'Wait'
