Hi all!

Buff question:

Is it possible to creat more buffs/debuffs?
For example the buff: "inner fire"
Isn't it possible to make that you can cast two different "inner fire" on a unit?
And both stay...


Trigger question:

Trigger:
Event: -A unit enters playable map area
Action: -A Event (unit takes damage) to trigger

Now the question: Is there no way to remove the events again...?

Event: -unit dies
Action: -remove Event from trigger...


Cause if I use this in a map where many units spawn, the trigger (event part) will get extrem big, the longer you play and this would probably gonna cause laggs aso...

No, you can't make it so you can directly have 2 'inner fires' on a unit.

However,

-You can have 2 or more different Inner Fire abilities with different buffs, and they should stack
-You can trigger the effect of Inner Fire, etc

As to the events, you'd have to delete the trigger, recreate it (ingame), and restore the wanted events.

But they don't stack. Example:
If I have two different "inner fire"
1. +999 armor duration 5 seconds
2. +5 armor duration 40 seconds.

If I cast now number one and then number two on the same unit, then the first buff gets replaced with the second buff.

But if I cast first the second buff, and then the first one, then the +5 armor buff gets replaced with the +999 buff, but it takes the longer duration.
So the buff becomes to a +999 armor for 40 second buff.


-You can have 2 or more different Inner Fire abilities with different buffs, and they should stack

=wrong I think.

I think u cant have 2 abilities of the same type together. Even if they got different buffs.
And anyway even if it is possible, here is my logic :

Ability - Buff
Inner Fire 1 - Buff 1 Since when casting Inner fire 1 instead of Buff 1
Inner Fire 2 - Buff 2 u get Buff 2. Right ? Then, just change in the - description the buff abilities and u done.

I confused u right ? Im a master in this XD

i'm pretty sure that two abilities based off of each other will stack so long as they're using different buffs, but i have never tried this personally. i'm pretty sure that buffs are all that stand between abilities stacking or not, though.

For me it doesn't work.

Hm... Maybe I have something different.
Maybe I have a wrong setting. You know at map options (where you can choose the colour of the water and so on...) you can choose the game-file-set. (I haven't got an english version, so I might not write the right translations...)
I have set it to "stanard (based on combat games...)"
But there are two other options:
"Own TFT ..." and "Combat (based on latest patch)"

Might this make any difference? What exactly are they good for...?
