Hidden Unit with an Expiration timer.

[BiroN]

If I hide a unit that has an expiration timer, does that prevent it from expiring\dying or does it die anyway? I'm asking because I'm making a spell using a dummy unit that has a broken death animation, so I want to hide it before it plays its death animation after the expiration timer expires.

I believe it can expire/die when it has an expiration timer without showing her death animation, except if you remove it from the game.

No. I didn't remove it from the game and It still plays its death animation when the expiration timer ends. Anyways, does hiding stop the expiration timer or pause it or make a leak or something?

A hidden unit can cast spells as far as I know, so I guess expiration won't be skipped if a unit is hidden.
Not exactly sure though...

Okay, do you have any idea how I can test that?

Try something like :

Events - Elapsed game time equal to ...
Actions - Kill hidden unit

Try this ^^

Okay I tested it with time elapsed and it works. Hidden units are killed by triggers when hidden. Thanks man!
