Buff (visible/invisible)

[Exavier00]

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?

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Wind Walk
  • Actions
    • Set StringVariable = Abilities\Spells\Orc\WarStomp\WarStompCaster.mdl
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() != GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
    • Set StringVariable = <Empty String>
    • Custom script: endif
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using StringVariable
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Only owner of caster will see this effect.(You can use GetTriggerPlayer instead of GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) nvm)

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)
