Abilities cancelling each other out

[sarumanthecursed]

Hey. in my map I have a lot of abilities so I tend to have to reuse the same dummy abilities like all the autocast abilities and roars, etc.... my problem however is if I use two Inner Fire dummy abilities to place TWO different buffs on a unit with each having separate triggered effects, one of the buffs is cancelled out and so the unit can't be affected by bothe abilities at the same time.

So my question is: I there any way to solve this?

You have bumped up against one of the most frustrating, hard-coded elements of Warcraft modding (especially for "race addition" modders like myself); "Buffs Do Not Stack" (aside from Auras).

The alternatives include "find unused buffs/abilities", or use a special system (I believe Anitarf's "ABff" is a good one) to handle the issue.

Could you give me a little "summary" of how Abuff works? I saw it on wc3c.net

The problem is they share the same order id. There is an ability "Channel" which allows to modify the order id and has pretty much other configurable aspects.
You can test around with it, but it might turn out that you also have to use triggers for effects.

Download the map and read his documentation and examples in the trigger editor. ABuff System - Wc3C.net

I cannot. I have never used it.
