scaling the size of trigger made SFX

[bugbear]

If I want to make a SFX such as, say, thunderclap larger how would I go about doing that? I notice some SFX will scale depending on the unit it is attached to, but I haven't been able to find a way to customize the size myself.

I usually made some untouched special effects by using this:

Open object editor,
Copy Locust from Undead- Special,
set the name to 'Effectname'
set the Art- model, collision, scaling value, and color.
Then shadow to none.
You can even set the flying height, facing, etc. later on with triggers.

then add 'Unit - Create unit facing angle' on point.
and 'Unit - Add expiration timer' for the length of the effect

Don't forget to add a new trigger;

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • Unit Type Comparison - Dying unit type equal to 'Effectname'
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Dying unit

Edit: Don't forget to set the attacks enabled to none, and you should create the unit for Neutral Passive.

Or you could import Vex's dummy model, which is invisible, but yet has attachment points. It also has different animations, which changes its rotation angle.
