[Spell] how to remove "expiration time".

[ngkn92]

• Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

Question is, if I add 60s exp to display a spell effect, then in 59th second, I want to remove it, how to ?

 

[Maker]

There was a thread about this a long time ago, try search. Maybe trasformation works.

You can use

• Einheit - Pause on the expiration timer for YourUnit

I like to use Exp.Timer to display how long effect can be.
But it turn out kill my hero. Do

• Einheit - Pause on the expiration timer for YourUnit

and it's closed with no solution ( or a lot )

Hm no, it won't remove the timer I guess. So the way you wanna use it, it would be a bad solution :s

My suggestions:

1)Dont use expiration timer, use a timer insetad (you will need to create variables)

• Aktionen
  • Countdown-Timer - Start Timer as a Once/Unique timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds
  • Countdown-Timer - Create a timer window for Timer with title Spell

And dont forget desroying timer window if unit dies before, or it stops this ability.

2)You could just create floating text Timer (60) above unit, and then change the text every 1 second to "Timer - 1"

3) You could replace old unit with new unit (old life and mana). But if you do this with hero, he would lose all items. So you would have to put items variables before you replace it, and re-create these items after you replaced hero.

Using the ReplaceUnit function doesn't take away your items, as far as I can recall.
As well as Skill Point Allocation, etc.

The downside is, it doesn't save the slot for which the item takes place.

Add an ability active transformation (metamorphosis like), however, that only lasts one second.

Ok. Cause I have a timer system for lot of thing, so 1. is not really work.
But 2. or 3. really good, and transformation active skill too.
I just wonder if any solution around?

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Set life of (Last created unit) to 25.00%
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Set r = (Life of (Last created unit))
    • Wait 2.90 seconds
    • Unit - Add Reincarnation to (Last created unit)
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Set life of (Last created unit) to r
    • Unit - Remove Reincarnation from (Last created unit)

Reincarnation Setup
Effect -> none
Hero Ability -> none
Reincarnation Delay -> 0.01
Casting Time -> 0.00

If selected you will lose selection, so care about it.
Also be sure to resume unit order if any.

@Kobas
You can do this to re-select the unit ?

• Actions
  • Set u = (Last created unit)
  • Selection - Select u for (Owner of u)

Btw, you should save the unit to a variable because it's not instant, you used Wait, therefore it might get overwritten if the map accept a newly created unit within the period of 2.90 seconds.

Reincarnation Setup.
thank for the idea, but how to hide it, so the player dont see the skill "Reincarnation"

 

[Vinz]

What if you morphed the hero into the same form?

Spellbook.

Spellbook.

Here is a test map
1. How to make hero morph, without animation
2. Spell book. how to hide it.

 

[Maker]

To hide the spell book, disable the ability for the player (or all players).

Work. Then a weird problem kick in. My hero auto morph when I increase skill.

 

[Maker]

It is because you have the same alternate and normal forms.

 

[ngkn92]

I change the Alternate Form Unit to Footman, then it remove Ability "Reincarnation" so unit die and it do not change the model. Now I dont understand anything.
