ok, for lack of a better place to put this, i stick it here.

I have a cinematic where my unit casts a spell and i want it to create fire and stuff all around him, i know a couple of ways i can do this, but if he moves then it dosnt work, is there any way i can:

A: Attach a region to him so it follows him around
B: Make the effects spawn in a circle around him

thanks to anyone who can help me.

For A i would have to go and see but B. Use create special effect at point then goto random point and convert region or points to size or sumthin and select position of unit.

Special Effect - Create special effect at random point in region centered around (unit) with size (###),(###) using (effect u want).

Edit: whoops, read it wrond but u cant make special effects circle around him unless it goes in a circle or u would have to make it a unit. You can make special effects spawn around him by using region with offset but wont follow him.

i worked out how to make the region follow him. There are 2 ways.

A: a trigger with the following

Event - Every 0.01 seconds of game time

Action - Center Region on Unit

B: this is for if your using it with spells (like me)

Event - Ability is used

Action - Center Region on Unit
