Is it possable to make effects, such as a firestorm, Permanat on a map, so they never go away / dissipate? If there is, how do i do it?

Also, is it possable to make you own terrain?

I suggest placing a waypoint were you want your firestorm(s) and give it a name, then going into scripts and making a timer to expire in .5 seconds, then make a new script that has these settings:

script settings: active, subroutine, DONT deactivate

If
'Timer expired'

then
(unit->spawn->spawn unit at a waypoint)
'spawn a unit type of (civilian->system->firestorm) at waypoint 'waypointname'
'set timer 'same timer's name' to expire in 2 seconds'

in the if true section of a script there should be a set timer option (its been a while for me).

My profile has a link to download my tutorial, there's a section there on timers. But if you don't want to get it all youi have to do is make a script with these settings to make a timer:

If
'true'

Then
(Scripts->timer->set timer to expire)
'Set timer "timer's name" to expire in "time (in seconds)"

You can make your own terrain and objects and ect... but you will need a program like Gmax, and skills on modding games and modeling textures and blah blah... so It's not realy worth it...

Well first off, I said have 1 script make a timer then the other 1 make the firestorm when it expires and make the timer again. Second: why would you need to enable a script that is already enabled? and if you have it disabled then how is it suppost to make the timer to enable it? Just do it the way I told you to, and make sure your selecting the right firestorm.

Set timer 'Fire_Timer' to expire in 2.00 seconds.

*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Set timer 'Fire_Timer' to expire in 0.50 seconds.
