[Solved] Aura, Delay on buff

[Chewii]

Hey, as you know aura abilities have a small delay before disappearing.
ex. If your unit walks out of range from Paladin's devotion aura, it will take a second or 2 before the effects to go off. Can you make this instant instead?

Thank you

You can however, remove the buff instantly by using this function;

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(unit, BuffId)

For example if buff ID for Devotion Aura is AHad, replace the BuffId with AHad instead.

But to make the unit to have the aura without delay, you can't simply use UnitAddAbility.

But first, you must have a trigger function that detects unit that leaves the aura aoe from the caster first.
I would suggest you should use my Temporary Ability system where you add the ability via Spell Book (disable it) and have the ability "act" as an aura, but actually it's an ability inside a disabled Spell Book.

Can't you just set the aura's duration to 0.01?

just a note: replace BuffId w 'AHad'
you have to use the apostrophes

Indeed. Just like the Disease Cloud duration.

I tried to set the duration to 0.01 in object editor, didn't work

defskull's method is the way to do it, though yeah it requires quite a bit of work (detection of units leaving the aura effect)... that delay is a hardcoded wc3 thing and they didn't put any easier way to remove/change it...

 

[Chewii]

It's a piece of cake, and it is working

Just use a trigger to remove buff from the unit, you have to store the units so you know what ones to remove it from though.
