[Spell] Hero silenced forever and not have buff.

[datsatthune]

[Problem] In my map, sometimes a hero get silenced forever (but very rarely happens), on status bar not show any buff of silence ability. I don't have any black icon for buff.
Does anyone know why? How silence without buff can happen? How strange!

Update 22/4/2021: I finally found how to create that bug, you can check in comment #15.
Now the real question is how to fix it? Because remove all bugs, killing hero and revice still doesn't help at all.

Do you use a silence ability? In your map or a silence ability from a dummy?
Or any spell that silence..
When yes show a screenshot of the settings of the spell
On ability’s (Stun,snare,slow,silence) the duration of 0 is infinity to fix that issue use 0.001

if you remove the buffs it happens without silence buff too..

I have 4 or 5 silence ability, but none of them have 0 duration.

My map don't use any custom from cloud ability.

Are you at any point pausing units? Pause can cause buff durations to become infinite.

 

[datsatthune]

Yes, but when unpause unit, buffs will expired then. In this case it dont show buff, that is the problem.

 

[FeelsGoodMan]

Yes, but when unpause unit, buffs will expired then.

Nope, they won't. It's a bug. I may be wrong though.

Yes, you are wrong Buffs will countdown as soon as you unpause unit.

why did you ignore the part with 'beer'? "D

You mean Drunken Haze ability? Can you describe it more clearly. How to Drunken Haze cause that bug?
And yes, my map have 2 custom spell from that ability, "attacks prevented" of 2 spell are set to "none" by default. And i tested it not stack buff with silence ability, it show 2 buff at status bar.

no idea, I just know this ability is bugged and must be avoided as possible by using jass

okay. anyway thank you for help. This bug has existed for many years. Hope one day i will find out what cause that bug and fix it.

 

[DracoL1ch]

there are no real causes, it just happens somehow

I finally found how to create that bug:
"Silence" a hero when it is under "hex" state, then wait when hex expires, at that exact moment "silence" that hero again. That hero will have a 50% chance of being locked from using the skill permanently even silence buff expires.

I have a demo map here. (Try it a few times to get result)

Now the real question is how to fix it? Because remove all bugs, killing hero and revice still doesn't help at all.

you could try removing previous silence before applying the new one

Oh, this can help prevent that happen. I waste time when looking for a way to fix it when it happened
