Remove Expiration Timer

[defskull]

As you know this function;

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

Once you have add this to a unit, there will be timer window at the name of that unit, right ?

I need to know how to remove this function when it is applied on a unit, or does this function is irreversible ?

Once you have add, you can't remove it and wait until the unit dies ?

try;

• Unit - Add a 0.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

try;

• Unit - Add a 0.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

It does nothing.

I am not at home so I cant test this
Have you tried adding a negative expiration time(-1 seconds), or replacing the unit with the same unit.

Try this :

• Set UnitVariable = (triggering unit)
• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( udg_UnitVariable, 'BTLF' )

I'm using jass because I don't think the "Generic" buff is available in GUI (that's quiet a strange buff). But basically, it's same as removing the expiration buff.

There is also a "Pause expiration timer" action, but maybe that doesn't work the way you want.

Removing this "ability" will instantly kills the unit if the unit has already been affected by that function.

Well, from what I have seen you can't remove the timer, but maybe you could quickly remove the unit with the timer then create a new unit using relevant health to the old unit.

You can try giving it a morphing ability and then morphing it in and out. idk if it will work though.

I used the trick passive hero transformation, the unit gets changed, but still, the timer is still there, what a stubborn one.

perhaps there's no solution to this one except replace the unit itself, I said 'Generic Timer to 0'
coz Im reffering to my http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/spawnsystem-209826/?prev=d=list&r=20&u=mckill2009, if given an expiration timer of 0, it actually does not apply the timer...
but perhaps, in this case, it will not re-apply the expiration...

Rather than replacement, finishing the unit off with Reincarnation should destroy less.

May I ask you, does replacing a unit (especially Hero unit) affects the unit itself ?
I mean, do they carry bonus stats, damage, or even ability level bla bla bla ?

Is there something missing from the original unit to the replaced ones ?
