Buff Not Showing Up

[NightElf125]

I spawn 4 dummy units with 3 abilities: Invulnerable (neutral), Locust, and Friezas Decay. Frieza's Decay does AOE dmg over time just like Immolation or Flamestrike, and the damage over time part works, but for some reason the buff that I made for this ability isn't showing up when the unit is being damaged by the spell. Any Idea as to why?

You have to edit the original Immolation buff, not any buff you find around.

 

[NightElf125]

Yeah I did, I even tried adding multiple different buffs and none of them showed up for some reason. (Including the original Immolation buff)

Only use one buff.

 

[NightElf125]

Yeah I did, I only used the custom buff that I made. And I tried different buffs 1 by 1, and none showed up. So I'm confused as to exactly what the problem is. Is it because my dummy unit has a model? But I don't see how that could be the problem because the units that the buff is supposed to attached to DO have models with attachment points.

The immolation has no buff onto enemies. Also, if its passive one, it will have no buff on the unit that has the ability.

 

[NightElf125]

Ah ok. So whats a spell like Immolation that doesn't have to be cast by the dummy unit that does AOE dmg over time like Flame Strike or immolation and shows a buff on the affected unit?

 

[MortAr]

Just add a dummy aura (Tornado's one) and make it have same AOE as the immolation and edit its buff.

 

[NightElf125]

Lol, err yeah, the tornado slow aura spell will let the buff appear on the target, but it doesn't let me add DPS over time like Immolation. I don't see any option that says Data- Damage per second or interval. And the Building Damage Aura (Tornado) doesn't show any buffs at all.

 

[MortAr]

I meant, use both (Immolation + Dummy Aura) spells and add them to the dummy.

 

[NightElf125]

OH! I see! Hey thanks alot dude it works perfectly now. I +repped you.

1 more question! The buff seems to still show up in the status of the unit even when the unit leaves the AOE range of the spell after being affected by it, and it seems to only dissapear when the unit is killed. How do I remove the buff when the unit exits the range of the spell? Shouldn't it do this automatically when the unit leaves the AOE range?

 

[Vulcano]

auras have a small delay before they dissapear (around 2sec)
But maybe the aoe of the dummy tornado is bigger than the immolation aoe?
