[Spell] Buff model won't change.

[Misein]

Hi,
it's my first time in these forums, and I'm new to triggers too.

Anyways, I started to make a mass freeze spell for myself where targets will freeze to place in a selected area (can't move, can attack + cast spells). I first tried with Entangling roots as parent spell for the dummy spell, but my targets couldn't attack. I then changed to Orc-Raider-Ensnare, but my buff on my targets will keep on showing nets rather than Ice. Even when I remove all buffs, it still shows nets.

Here is my trigger

• Mass Root Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Freeze
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (300.00 + (50.00 x (Real((Level of Freeze for (Triggering unit)))))) of (Target point of ability being cast)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing 0.00 degrees
        • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Set FreezeLevel = (Level of Freeze for (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Add Freeze(Dummy) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of Freeze(Dummy) for (Last created unit) to FreezeLevel
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Picked unit)

I removed buffs from my dummy's Freeze(Dummy) spell in the object editor, and I did make sure I took the Orc Raider's Ensnare to make the dummy spell.
Thanks in advance.

Did you copy the Ensnare buff and replace it into your new dummy ability?

It's usually better practice to replace the buff with a similar one, even without a model, instead of removing it completely.

As an aside, your trigger has memory leaks. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/basic-memory-leaks-5889/

Thanks for your reply.
I figured out the problem when I looked at Ensnare itself. It has 2 buffs (air) and (ground), while I was using the Ensnare(general) for my custom buff. I thought that because I set my "Targets Allowed" to ground targets only, that I wouldn't need an (air) buff. I reproduced the problem by making a similar spell -Stall- with only the (ground) buff, and it still didn't work. It only worked when I added the (air) buff with it (annoying for a spell that shouldn't need one ).

Thanks for reminding me about my leaks, I'll do my best to fix them. That is an awesome quick info on them since I wasn't too sure what they meant.

If you want only one buff to be seen, add two same buffs.
