Hi.

I would like to create effects that looks like the floor is being electrified, killing everyone in the room.

Any ideas on what effects I should use?

I think there are doodads called Lighting Arc or Electrical Arcs. Try them.

An alternative could be psi storm.. doesn't look that good by far, but better than nothing.

If there is one you could use a trigger that runs an actor and checks if players are within the area and then kill the player if you want. To me it sounds like you want the floor to be electrified at certain times, not constantly. Kind of like the lava rising and killing players.

I wanna try the Psi Storm you suggested. Any ideas on how to make a huge psi storm effect and put it in the middle of the room via triggers?

I tried this:

                Variable - Set g = (Any units in Science_Lab owned by player Any Player matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)
                Unit Group - Pick each unit in g and do (Actions)
                    Actions
                        Environment - Execute High Templar - Psi Storm (Apply Buff) on (Picked unit) from (Picked unit)
                        General - Wait 2.0 Real Time seconds
                        Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

I did not see any effects what so ever. The zerglings died, though. (There are like four different Psi Storm Effects, I dunno which one to choose.)

Bonus question: When using the code-tags here on Sc2mapster, am I supposed to use "lua"?

@Phrosen: Go

Answer to bonus question: Doesn't matter. I personally like setting it as Galaxy code, but it doesn't do anything.
