Effect Destroy Delay?

[Assassins-Creed]

I want to make it so this effect I have doesn't have a delay of being destroyed.
When the trigger runs and the effect is destroyed it takes 2 seconds for it to be removed. Any ideas or is this a probably with the model?

Trigger

• SS
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Super Saiyan
    • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Goku
  • Actions
    • Set GSS = (Triggering unit)
    • Custom script: set udg_ID = GetHandleId (udg_GSS)
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Load 1 of ID2 in GokuTransHash) as 2 of ID in GokuTransHash
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Load 2 of ID in GokuTransHash)
    • Hashtable - Save 1.00 as 0 of ID in GokuTransHash
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfGSS as 3 of ID in GokuTransHash
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the head of GSS using war3mapImported\SSJ_Head.mdx

You aren't destroying the special effect, it is destroyed when you re-cast the spell!

The model will play the death animation immediatly after you call this:
Specail Effect - Destroy (Load 2 of ID in GokuTransHash)

Or you should post the whole trigger

Why are you saving data to hashtable if you use a single trigger ?

Also, if the SFX has birth animation or else, it must be from Units (make a dummy unit act as the SFX), because we can't simply create and destroy it, it won't show the SFX.

There is another trigger to this but it involves nothing to the model.

it is destroyed when you re-cast the spell!

How?

What's the problem with creating a special effect , setting a variable to it , adding timer or 'wait' and then destroy variable and clear leaks

edit: just notice you want it destroyed immediately. Make a dummy unit with locust to look like your effect, add the desired expiration timer, if needed make it play animation.

So, you want this SFX to be destroyed instantly ?

Try base it from a dummy unit;
Art - Model File: Change it to your SFX

And try to kill the unit right after it is created, it should work.

I believe this would be difficult cause the head is going to be floating above the headless model so I would have to detect and move the head with the body and find out the correct height the head should be so it looks natural.

From what I understood, do you want a SFX with no death animation ?

Correct me if I am wrong.

If so, I think killing the dummy unit will still play the SFX death's animation.

From what I understood, do you want a SFX with no death animation ?

Basically, yes.

 

[KnnO]

Basically, yes.

Solutions:

1. If you have rights to edit the model, I can edit it to remove the death animation, or you can ask the owner of the model.

2. You can make a dummy unit created with that model, then when you want to remove the model, remove the unit from the game (don't kill just remove directly)

 

[Starquizer]

I am not sure about that but you could remove the unit from the game not kill it that way the SFX will be completely removed without playing the death animation.

But again I am not 100% sure of this solution.
