Destroying a specific special effect?

[deama]

How would I destroy a specific special effect after 1 minute?

Use triggers ????

Use triggers ????

Yeah but how? I can't find anything that can destroy a specific special effect.

• Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

But I must warn you, never use last Special Creted effect but instead make a variable for it because sometimes it is quite risky.

What are you going to use it for ????

How about you:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds

then:

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

What if another effect occurs within that 1 minute? How would I point to the original effect?

I don't really understand his question because somethings come to my mind :

1. I think the specific special effect would come from a spell from the Object Editor
2. The special effect is triggered

and that is why I asked him what he is going to use it for.

Store the 1-minute special effect in a variable. Then destroy that. This way other special effects aren't included.

Also, Each effect you will make, you will have to see them into a variable. Thats why as I said without variables its quite risky.

Got bored so I posted another

 

[Razer!X]

Lol sorry forgot that

 

[MasterTrainer]

Don't double post. Please Edit your first post.

Also getting bored is not a reasonable excuse to take someone's work for yourself.

Oh, didn't know you could do that, thanks.

Thanks for the help guys.
