If it is in the campaign, u should go open the currently map with the inferno stuff and look at the triggers =)

or

EVENT:
Unit- enters region
Condition:
Unit-Type = NAME
Action:
Unit- Create x NUMBER cinematic infernos in region # Randomly
( i dont know if the action is correct but try it out )

Mm, stretching back my memory now.

I never looked into this myself, but I remember someone mentioning that they create some invisible Dreadlords who cast the special Hero Ability called "Rain of Chaos". All "Rain of Chaos" does is summon two infernals (a la the last map in the Orc campaign). I've seen the ability badly used as a standard hero ability in some hero arenas (yuck) and AoS maps. Please don't use it except as a special effect, like they did in the campaign.

Just extract the map it appears from the mpq, and then look how blizzard made it. And btw, there's a model in the infernal folder (infernal_birth.dmx or something like this) that's the falling rock. Create that and play the animation... maybe it works...

Yup. What they do is creating an "Infernal Summoner", hide it, make it's level to 6, give it the "Inferno (Neutral Hostile) Hero spell, give it lots of mana, and then give it the order to cast the spell. Strangely enough, they have a huge number of triggers to do all this.
