Special Visual Effects... without effects?

[Ancanus]

Hey guys,

has anyone figured out how to create a visual effect, say Archon Damage, without actually causing the damage to the unit?

The only way I figure out how to do this is to duplicate the effect and remove the actual damage behaviour.

i didn't find the way either. i mean copying spells just to get an effect is :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Have you tried any of the triggers under Actor?
I can only use them to create structures, but not actual effects.

I was having the same issue but I think I figured it out.

It may seem weird but I have been able to recreate it successfully using the trigger - Actor - Create Model At Point

Once this is created click on "No Game Link" and it will bring up the data box, click on Value and you will be able to scroll through the different models. I chose from the OneShotSpellFX and was able to create an explosion at the point of where my unit was without any damage.
