how do i make a special effect on a unit(about 8 of them). i want just the effect, not the unit, so when i try to do the trigger creat special effect in region or sumthin, in made the special effect for like 1 or 2 seconds. so then i tryed making a unit and having it inbisable, but that didnt work, the special effect became invisable with it, so then i tryed making the unit's scaling value to 0.1, but now the special effect is the size of the unit. i want the special effect to last the whole game. so how do i do this?

What special effect are you tring to use? Some effects like MassTeleport only last for a few seconds.

Because that effect only last for a few seconds and doesn't repeat you will have to make a trigger that destroys the last one you created and creates a new one at that point again, every so many seconds (peroidic event). If you don't destroy the last one you created it could produce a slight lighting error.

You have to refresh the animation, time how long the sfx lasts, then create a period event that destroys the sfx and recreates it instantly, it might look strange because the beginning frame and the last frame arent meant to overlap.
