Change added Expiration Timer's name.

[Death Adder]

Is there a way to change the name of an added expiration timer?

I'm hiding/unhiding the 'summoned' unit(s) to keep them in ctrl + number groups. because of this I'm first creating and then moving the unit through triggers so I can't just change the buff used by the ability.

Having a dummy unit cast inner fire with buff based on Water Elemental on the 'summoned' unit didn't work.

I thought of adding avatar or some morph ability when the unit is created there should be some other option I think

unless you modify the game files it's impossible.

Then is there some way to reset the duration?

If I at least could use a dummy to summon once and then reset the duration each time it would have been summoned again...

Otherwise can you elaborate more about the game file modification?

I guess you add a new expiration timer and set it to 0 until updated. Otherwise kill the unit and revive it.

Both methods got their flaws.

Otherwise kill the unit and revive it.

This could be a great solution, however I don't think summoned units leave corpses?

You can make the unit invisible when killed (aka set vertex color to 100% trans), I think that should work. But then there might be a death sound unless you remove it.
