[Trigger] Rebuffing units

[SckZ]

Hello!

Okay so here is what I'm doing...

I made many regions on my map and each time a hero get in one of these he gains a specific buff and loses it when he leaves this region.

I've done something similar for creeps on my map... when they are created, depending on their region, they gain a specific (different) buff.

I didn't have any problem doing this... but here is my problem. I can only make that buff last for 1 hour (3600 secs... couldn't make it last longer) and after that the buff disapear. I'm trying to find a way to re-apply that buff on a specific unit. (After 1 hour without leaving the region, the buff goes away)

I couldn't find a specific event about a unit losing a buff (or even an ability even if that won't fit) and since I'm not good at vJASS... well no need to explain that.

Is there a way I can do that? Here are my triggers for 1 region (applying buff on hero when entering the place and removing it when leaving)...

• MarshBuffIN
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Marsh <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Entering unit) has buff Fog ) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order DummyBuffs 0418 <gen> to Undead Banshee - Curse (Entering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

• MarshBuffOUT
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves Marsh <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Leaving unit) has buff Fog ) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove Fog buff from (Leaving unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

All I want is some easy trigger to re-apply buffs on specific units when they spend 1+ hour in the same region.

Well, you will have to use auras for this or my system (buff system) and remove those "Do nothing" !!

yeah thats what I thought... so there isnt a way to just remove/reapply a buff?

May I ask why removing the do nothing ?

First - Do nothing does nothing and it's totally unnecessary.
You can reapply the buff periodic (like every 30 minutes) if you don't wanna go for "the auras way"

Oh true.. didn't think of that

Buffs have infinite duration if you set them to 0 in the Object editor.

OMG really ?

Yes. No need for a custom buff system or auras for this.
