If u want to use as a hero ability, so it is possible (tornado for sure coz i tried it).

put this into ur hero file:

;----------------------------------------------Manwe abilities------------------------------------------------
;-------------------------------------------------Tornado----------------------------------------------

	Behavior = OCLSpecialPower	ModuleTag_OCLSpawnTornado
		SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialPowerSpawnTornado
		OCL						= SUPERWEAPON_SpawnTornado
		CreateLocation			= CREATE_AT_LOCATION
		AvailableAtStart		= Yes
	End

Remember that u have to also set "commandset.ini"

sorry, i misunderstood you, well i think that it is impossible (in sunflare for sure )

[JUS_SAURON]

Not entirely impossible

You just need a new hero file(s) for both objects
The approprate anims and behaviour codes ...

The sunflare would have to only LOOK like the original one
and do a Fire weapon damage like it i.e it would look like a constant burning flame

But this is usually not you run of the mill coding stuff
and the Sunflare hero may cause game lagg

But it is possible ...

[Annullus The Grey]

you could just make the sunflare like the particle beam from cnc generals... that would allow you to move it around and keep the suns rays, but JUS is right, it would cause a motherload of lag because of the particle effects that sunflare uses

[JUS_SAURON]

I remember there is a Spotlight object that is used for campaign stuff , you can probably use that model
add in a fireweapon behavior and voila

[acidRain]

Tornado should be fairly easy, just create a Whirlwind object from NeutralUnits.ini without a LifetimeUpdate module and change the KindOf tags to one from another hero...add it to PlayerTemplate.ini and voila! 'Course, if you want to get a bit more creative, you could go crazy with the particle systems and change the color, add some experiencelevels, etc.

As for the sunflare, I don't know where the SunflareSunbeam object is, so I can't help ya there.
