2. no
3. if you simply make it a prop it wont be possible, but you may be able to make it an animated prop with the takeoffanim as anim and the last frame looped. i dont know how you could do that though, its just an idea

2. i suppose such an huge effect would crash the map, it would need far too many particles (correct me if im wrong)

your probably right, but i just newed a small 5 partcule ember effect in ba small area, like slowy floating up or somthing like that. Incentdently, when i have to many effects like fire in my map, it causes the grenade/rockect effects to dissapear, can this be fixed?

If you have too many effects, this causes a memory overload and some effects disappear. The solution to this is to remove some effects.

Ok, i think i figured out a way to have a few embers, testing now.( think fireflies

)
EDIT
OK, can someone help me, ive got a kinda biggish prob, i have a unit, with a vibrosword, a rifle, and a laser bazooka, in the 1st weapon channel, and a therm det, and a gas grenade in the 2nd channel. the sword works fine, but you cant fire the grenades with the secondary fire button, they fire with the reload button, once hes out of nades he then reloads his wep normaling. can this be fixed? thanks in advance.
Double posting is against the RULES, please EDIT your post instead -Staff

I think there is some sort of problem when you have melee weapons. I believe you can only have one primary weapon (the melee one) and up to four secondaries, or up to eight weapons but all in the primary weapon channel. However, I'm not quite sure if this is the case - I think some people a while back claimed to have had more than one weapon in the primary weapon channel along with a melee and having secondaries working fine. I can't find the thread, though.

Open the unit's combo file, go into the idle state, and delete the transition to block. Even without knowing anything about combos, you should be able to figure it out from that.
