[JASS] Buffs

[Starquizer]

How can I add a buff to a unit (JASS, vJASS or GUI)?

 

[Squiggy]

Order a unit to cast a spell?

 

[Deaod]

add a hidden aura to the unit (Tornado Slow).

is it just possible to add the ability with UnitAddAbility and the rawcode? this would be an easy solution. but i dont know whether it works.

 

[Ciebron]

no you can add buffs like that

 

[Starquizer]

The only functions available for buffs are the remove buff functions, I don't know why blizzard didn't make add buff function. How can I add a slow effect to a unit like 'Frost Arrow' ; must I make a dummy unit and order it to use the ability that I want its buff on the target ?

 

[Ciebron]

Dummy caster or a aura in a hidden spell book is the only way

 

[wyrmlord]

The way I do it as well most others is to make a custom version of the Tornado Slow aura as well as a custom buff to go with it. You can then add the custom aura to the unit to add the buff and remove the buff + aura to get rid of it. This option allows for more flexibility than casting a dummy spell on a unit.

Use ABuff System.

 

[Starquizer]

ABuff system ? Is that the same system Ciebron were talking about in a thread he started ?

 

[Anachron]
