Yes it is possible. You just need to use local string for model path and use GetLocalPlayer to make it be different in different computers.

GetLocalPlayerTutorial

Effect for one player:

function LocalEffect takes string modelpath, real x, real y, player forplayer returns effect
    if GetLocalPlayer()!=forplayer then
        set modelpath=""
    endif
    return AddSpecialEffect(modelpath,x,y)
endfunction

function LocalTargetEffect string modelpath, widget target, string attach, player forplayer returns effect
    if GetLocalPlayer()!=forplayer then
        set modelpath=""
    endif
    return AddSpecialEffectTarget(modelpath,target,attach)
endfunction
