Help with buff removal.

[Altazen]

Here's the deal. I created a unit targetted spell that, when casted, casts a buff that modifies damage (based off Inner Fire) with a dummy unit, targetting the casting unit, then blinks to the target of the ability and attacks it once.

The hard part is removing the buff once the attack either hits or misses.

Anyone know how? The "Unit is Attacked" event won't cut it. The buff has to be removed after the Hero either hits or misses with the attack.

you could use a wait timer, like 1 sec, then remove the buff.
doesent unit is attacked cut it off?? thats really wierd. Are you sure you have the action to remove the buff from Attacking unit, and not Triggering?

Unit Is Attacked won't cut it because the attack registers for that event before the damage is dealt, around the time the attacker's hand is raised. If I remove the buff at that time, the damage isn't modified by the buff. And then it's tricky to use a wait action, because it isn't consistent with the unit's attack speed. Like if you attack twice in one half of a second. Or if you're slowed to the point where it takes two seconds to launch one attack.
