[Trigger] Permanent Special Effect

[-Berz-]

Hi!

I just have this crazy idea in my head (for a spell)...
So I'm asking if there is a way to make special effect permanent? I seen it once but i think it was in JASS.

Ok what i mean:
Lets say i use "TomeOfRetraining" model, as you know it vanish in about 2 seconds. So how would i make it that lasts up longer? (without using periodic time event)

Thanks!

im quite sure u need to edit the model.

EDIT: should be pretty easy - its just a part of the animation looping, isnt it?

I saw a Jass script long time ago, where you attach an effect and change its state to permanent or something.

Model animation editing would work too, the problem is that this pointless in my case, since I know its possible with editor without modeling D:

Just spam the effect at an interval? There isn't really a much more feasible way.

you could create the unit then pause its animation/unit itself? i think that would work

It definetly does create a periodic timer event for effect if you ask me

So I'll need to make it happen periodic.

Thanks all!

locusted dummy unit with the effect as a model that is paused?

locusted dummy unit with the effect as a model that is paused?

That won't work, as that will require the dummy unit to have a valid model file instead of none.mdl. None.mdl has no attachments for the special effect to display anyway.

ehm, download dummy.mdx, that is totaly invisible model, but i am not sure of its attachment points

Thanks all... I figure out now you can stop
