The proper action is "Special Effect - Create Special Effect at Point/Unit". If you need just a normal, blink-like special effect, then create and destroy the effect at the same time. Don't worry- it'll last for however much you need. If you need an aura effect, then it gets complicated. However, if you only want the dizzy effect, then you can just create and destroy at the same time.

You can also go to "world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net" to find a program that will automatically make the color codes for you.

God..I know how to add a dizzy ,add effect buff maybe.
but it must be done at the time when the item is clicked/used, the matter is the time!
How do I know the item is clicked? I need the event and condition....
Thank you anyway~

Great! It works!

For the item usage, use the event: "Unit uses an item"


Then make with the nice creating of special effects/triggers.

For mixing your own I suggest using the paint thing, somewhere on the colour mixer window it will tell you the R G and B out of 255. Just convert that number to hexadecimal. (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Calculator, then turn on scientific functions, type the number, then click the "hex" circle near the top, hope that helps xD, otherwise here's the conversion
123 is like normal numbers
ABCDEF 10 11 12 13 14 15
To write 16, you would have 10. Because 0 = 0, and the tens digit is always 16 x whatever it is, so 32 would be 20. 17 is 11, because (16x1)+1. 255 is FF because (16x15)+15 = 255!
Quickest way is to divide by 16, and the remainder is the ones digit in 123456789ABCDEF form.
ie 120 is 78. (16x7)+8

When you click an item and it does an effect, that is an ABILITY. Just like all other ability triggers, you use "A Unit Begins an Ability" and make sure the condition checks to see if its the correct ability.
