How do i make a unit burst into flames.

And how do i create a doodad at a certain point, trough triggers of course
What i want is that flame doodad. It looks cool

Create a special effect attached to the unit.

SpecialEffect

        Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Your Unit using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl

Here is the model for the doodad flame:

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Footman 0000 <gen> using Doodads\Cinematic\TownBurningFireEmitter\TownBurningFireEmitter.mdl

Talk about leaving no chance for him to do it on his own

lol i already knew it was a special effect thing, i should have made that more clear.

Anyway that is exactly what i wanted to know. Thanks

As for your second question, there is no way to make or move doodads via triggers, the only way you can, seemingly, do this is to make a unit with the image of a doodad, and create it at the desired point

For the second one, maybe you should just create a special effect at a point?
Make sure you set it to a variable though.

I made an attachment version of the big flame doodaddy thingamajig back here, let me get it... <scrounges in old dusty W3 files, sneezes>

OK just extract it and load it in import manager and it should give you a nice big fire to use in special fx.

I would but i dont think i can

i am working on a spell for the contest and i think its against the rules to use imported stuff
