I'm making a target system that lets you add a target buff to an ally or enemy. How can you hide this buff and let you (only the caster player) be the only one to see the target buff? I need help.

In dota like the Alchemist's skill (concoction) when before he would throw his ability there is a buff (effect like) a circle on the ground that shows the range of the ability.... and it could only be seen by him... its so cool... how can i hide this buffs (or effects) and be only visible by me?

if it is special effects, you can use dummy unit , make them invisble and revel only to caster
as for buffs, I have no idea (since buff can deal dmg etc, making it visble to only one player using local player would be impossible)
