Guys, im going out on a limb here but I wanna know is there a way to make my own spells effects or combine current ones?

ex: When "creature" casts a spell on a target it will do "Rain of Fire" effect and "Flame strike" effect at the same time or any other combination.

This is possible with triggers, however I have no idea how you would do it :P I suck with triggers.

Edit:

Oh do you mean just show the effect or actually have both spell "effects" not just visually. If you want to have both "effects" I don't know how you would do that.

You need to get the location where you're casting Rain of Fire.

Once you get that location, just add the
Special Effect - Create Special Effect at a point (or region),

and add the flame strike effect.



You can get the target of your unit by the event:

Unit is issued an order targeting a point.

Condition: Triggering Unit Equal To <Your Unit>

Action:
Set HeroTargetLocation = <Point of Issued Target>

But what I mean is when a hero casts the spell, I cant generate new effects that will go when he uses spells!

WTF, a triple post? That's considered major spamming, and wasn't really needed...

Anyway, you should make a trigger that looks something like this:

Code:
Events
  Unit - A unit begins casting an ability
Conditions
  (Ability being cast) equal to [Your ability here]
Actions
  Special Effect - Create the illusion of [Ability] with that spell's Target Model attached to (Last Created Unit) on it's (Overhead)

You should just make the spell a unit variable, and use it every time the spell is cast, then it should work.
