[JASS] BlzSetSpecialEffectAlpha

[Tsaras]

I am using BlzSetSpecialEffectAlpha to make an effect appear more or less based on some parameters.
It doesn't seem to do anything, the effect shows in full even if I set the alpha to 0.
Is there something I am missing? I am on 1.30.4

Edit: Can it be that the effect's rendering does not respond to change in the alpha values? I tried with a unit having the effect's model and using SetUnitVertexColor and it still doesn't work.

I would guess that some SFX indeed don't take alpha into account, which one are you trying to use? That must be a case-by-case problem

I am trying to use this effect:

Nature Heal / Regeneration, Swirling Fire Buff, Shadow Buff, Sun Buff

made out of the basic heal effect do what you want with them 19/6/25 - added shadow version, sun version, wilted leaf version

It likely only works for model meshes and not billboards, emitters and ribbons.
