How to play a nova's animation repeatedly

[Roku]

So basically i downloaded and imported a fire nova model into my map, which is based of the wisps detonation spell just has other colors. Well i added this model to a unit's model, and the thing i want it to do, is to have the nova effect played multiple times until the unit dies, because now what happens is that i create my unit, it "explodes" once and thats it, its invisible for the rest of the time. I tried adding my units to a unit group and doing this:

Fire Nova Effect
    Events
        Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in FireNovas and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s stand animation

and this:

Fire Nova Effect
    Events
        Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in FireNovas and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Animation - Reset (Picked unit)'s animation

none of which worked. I want it to look like in the editor when you place the unit, it does the effect repeatedly but not in game. Please help me!
