Is there a way to make it so troops kick up dust and create small clouds of dirt when they run/stop?

try fx files. If not i don't think it is possibe... although when you move through water it splashes arund you.

You could probably attach some sort of fx file to them, just like the water collision. Of what you could do is make a transparent water at the exact same height as the map and then change the water collision to the new effect. Its a bad way, but its a way.

That makes me think, what allows the game to know where the water effect activates when a troop gets in the water?

Good idea but this will only work on one height...

Ya I know. You could also create it using addon geometry, but it would be there forever. Or you could have it when you attatck.
