[Trigger] Removing a buff from a spell-hit unit

[LordPerenolde II]

It seems i can't find this anywere so i'm posting.
I'd like to remove a buff from an unit hit by(example) a slow spell. How's the GUI sequence? Thanks in advance.

There is, in fact, a trigger called "Unit - Remove Specific Buff." Use that for whatever unit you want to remove the buff from.

In fact, there's at least 3 different "Unit - Remove buffs" functions in GUI. They're not hidden anywhere... just scroll down the list of Unit Actions.

• Unit - Remove (category) buffs from (Unit)
• Unit - Remove (category) buffs considered (Magical and/or Physical) from (Unit) (Include/Exclude expiration timers, Include/Exclude auras)
• Unit - Remove (specific buff type) buff from (Unit)

I know that, i already used that type of action. The problem is that i may be wrong at event or conditions. Can you explain me which event/condition to use?

Well, if you want to have a unit *hit by an ability* have a buff removed, it would be...

• RemoveBuff
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to (Your Spell)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Your Specifc Buff) from (Event Response - Target Unit of Ability Being Cast)

Hope it'll work. I'll update the thread soon.
Meanwhile +rep for the help.

 

[LordPerenolde II]

it doesn't work. Did you check if it works on you?

 

[Maker]

That trigger should work just fine.

Post your map so I can fix it.

here's the involved trigger

The game won't remember "target unit of ability being cast" if you use wait.

Here's how to do it:

• immunity
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Slow
    • (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u = GetSpellTargetUnit()
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call UnitRemoveBuffBJ( 'Bslo', u )

Sorry to be so nit-picky, but you should replace

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveBuffBJ( 'Bslo', u )

with

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( u, 'Bslo' )

(Basically just inlined the BJ)

i'll test soon. thx, +rep 2 u 2(maker).

 

[LordPerenolde II]

hey, i'm here again!
That "bslo" at the end is related to the slow effect?
If that's so, i'd need scripts for other spells. Where are they viewable?

 

[PurgeandFire]

Open the Object Editor, then click on the Buffs/Effects tab. Press CTRL+D or go to View -> Display Values as Raw Data and then you'll be able to see the rawcodes of all the buffs and debuffs. For example, 'Bslo' refers to the debuff "Slow".
