default skill that create lighning effect

[takethat]

Is there a default spell that will create a lightning effect between casting unit and casting target in which will not be interrupt by movement? For example spell like siphon mana, however siphon mana will be interrupt if the unit is moved via trigger.

I need this for a fps map, so “trigger – lightning effect” can not be use

Finger of Death.

Even allows setting the duration of the lighting. Useful. If you want to remove the lightning effect before the duration, just remove the dummy caster, the lightning effect will get removed as well.

So if unitA cast finger of death on unitB, duration of spell is 300, the red zap with remain stick on both unit for 300 seconds even they move around unless any of the 2 unit being kill?

Yes. Try it first...

By the way, it's not 'Duration' per se. It's the 'Graphic Duration' that determines the duration of the lightning effect.


Edit:
Units get killed will still have the lightning effect on them. The caster must be removed from the game, to be able to completely remove the effect.

I cant on WE atm, but can this lightning effect from finger of death block by other unit?
Because of fps, players view the game horizontally instead of bird view, so if the lightning so happens behind another large unit, will it hide behind or still show out?

Lol. I'm not sure. You'll need to try it yourself.

If FoD gets blocked, others lightning effects will get blocked as well. It makes no difference right? Anyway, you'd have to try first when you can.
