Hello, i have a quick question about about a Ability buff stack for example

i have 2 Spells Based on Acid Bomb
one reduce the Armor of the Target,
And the Other one does Periodic Damage...

if i do custom Buffs for both does it Stack on the Same Time?

Sorry for my Bad english and also im new Here dont Punish me :ogre_haosis:

Try it out yourself, it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to test. But yes, most things do stack and I assume Acid Bomb will stack as well.

That being said a unit will have problems if you give it 2+ of the same ability (really it's the order id that's important). That problem can be avoided using Dummy units and triggered abilities.

Yes buffs "stack", if they have different buffs set in the ability buff field. But if 2 players have the same hero and both use acid bomb that have the periodic damage, then they won't stack.

That being said, triggered damage is the ultimate solution if you wanna make everything stack. This can be achieved with Locals, Dymanic Indexing or Hashtables.

Same goes with Heal over time, armor buffs, etc.
