Hey I had Nova working perfectly but now it doesn't appear.
How can I easily trigger the Nova Model show up in the center of the map, to kill all units on the map.
What I had was a Murdoc with the Nova ability enabled in the Data editor under Units / Abilities. Then I created that murdoc in the center of the map and ordered him to use Nova Ability. Now there was somewhere in the Nova targeting where I changed it to kill all units but I've forgotten where.
It worked perfectly but now the map doesn't show the Nova Shockwave :((
And help would be greatly appreciated and credit given to the person who gives me the solution.
I'm assuming a lot here, I don't quite understand what you mean by "Now there was somewhere in the Nova targeting where I changed it..."
If you have some static object at the center of your map to attach it to (and judging by your avatar, you probably do), you can get rid of the Murdoc thing and do this thing with triggers. Under whatever conditions you specify, use the trigger "Create Effect At Point" (either From Unit, which makes the Unit the "caster" or from Player, which makes the player in general the caster). You'll want to set it to Player or a Unit that the player owns in case your Effect actually kills things or does other important stuff - I'm just assuming you want to show the Shockwave actor, nothing more.
The Effect in question should be whatever effect has the Nova Shockwave Actor hooked up to it. The point in question can be wherever, but in you case you might want it at that unit in the middle of the map. Or if you already have an actual Point object in the middle of the map, use that.
When the trigger runs, it will create the Effect at the point you set, which will give the impression that something somewhere is using the Nova ability - when in fact you're just creating the Effect without the requisite ability, and along with it, the Shockwave Actor.
Of course, I could be getting all this completely wrong, if so, repost with details.
Sweet :D That's way better. I reset everything to parent and then used triggers. I used Kerrigan buried as the unit spawned at location 5. For some reason, if the unit died, the nova would stop. And the nova was killing the unit. Something like that anyway.
