[JASS] giving ability bluff to unit?

[Ava|anCh3]

Hi, sorry to trouble however i have just finish making a few spells. however i wish to add the bluff to the unit so that the player will knows that he is under a spell.

some description about the spell.

1 trigger to calculate all units spell and convert it into attack for the caster.
after the whack the enemy and the enemy takes the damage over time.

the spell is complete however when the enemy unit takes damage over time, i wish to add a bluff icon at the unit's profile screen so that the player will know that he is taking damage. can someone advise me about this?

do you meaning adding a buff to the unit?

 

[Ava|anCh3]

yes, but you see there are 2 kinds of bluff

1st that can be add to a unit. one is the animation on the unit itself

2nd is another is on the character's screen which shows an icon saying 'this unit is under the effect of some spells'

what i am looking for is the second type.

so you mean a buff like Curse or bloodlust? if yes, then you can only add such a buff with a dummy unit casting a buff ability.

hmm are you attempting a buff steal skill? dats really hard to do, since you'll have to create target spell versions of all ur self targeting spells. Well other than dat use dummies.
