[Solved] Devour Magic

[Ziadoma]

I want to use Devour Magic to remove all buffs/debuffs and give the caster mana for each unit that had buffs/debuffs removed. But it does not seem to work with a lot of my custom ability buffs. Is there anything in the configuration that can tweak that, or would I need to trigger that?

I think it either depends on the spell that served as base for your custom ability or the buff itself, e.g. stuff based on melee WC3 abilities like inner fire, curse etc should be devourable with no problem, but devour magic itself has no field to alter that sadly

Would it be possible to check for the amount of buffs and then do remove all buffs and then check for the amount of buffs again and if there is a difference the caster gets mana?

Why not check the list of Conditions and see if such a thing exists? The number of buffs, if such a Condition exists, would likely be an Integer comparison.

Then search for "buff" in the Actions menu and see if there's such a thing as "remove all buffs".

You can track the number in an Integer variable if need be.

it is certainly possible but you need to make a list of the buffs that youre trying to remove and then count the number of buffs removed

i did it in one of my spell submissions. Ignite

I got it to work with GUI even. Count buffs -> remove buffs -> Count buffs.
