Simple question about Avatar Deactivation

[Gnoren]

Hey guys, just got a bit confused since i cant get the deactivation to work.
I made it able to deactivate in Gameplay Constants..
Thing is i want the avatar to be permanent, lasting forever or until deactivated.

Any answers to this simple shit?

Set duration to 0
It will make it permanent

Lol Kala.. really? read the question and not what i've made so far.. :/
it is permanent already, but deactivation does not work

So clicking Avatar for a second time doesn't deactivate it. Hmmm.

Use Bear Form and add Spell Immunity, etc. to the transformed unit.

I think you can also use Metamorphosis.

Set the duration to 0 in object editor. Create a dummy ability that is "Deactivate Avatar".

When you cast Avatar, remove the ability and add the "dummy" ability. When you cast the dummy ability, remove avatar buff (that removes the bonuses and changes the visuals of the unit, except size), remove the dummy ability, add real Avatar.

But that won't trigger cooldown, so you need an additional dummy spell for that, which displays the cooldown. After a wait time that is equal to the cooldown, add the real Avatar again, adn remove the cooldown dummy.

Triggers

• Cast Avatar
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Avatar
  • Actions
    • Wait 1.00 seconds // If this is too low, the game will crash
    • Unit - Remove Avatar from (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Avatar - Turn Off to (Triggering unit)

• Avatar Cooldown
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Avatar - Turn Off
  • Actions
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size
    • Unit - Remove Avatar buff from (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Avatar - Turn Off from (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Avatar - Cooldwon to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Human Mountain King - Activate Avatar
    • Wait 5.00 seconds // this should be equal to the cooldown
    • Unit - Remove Avatar - Cooldwon from (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Avatar to (Triggering unit)

That works, if no better solution is to be found.

I think that you can turn it derivable in the Game play constants... As well as wind walk, metamorphosis and others.

Thanks for the replies, but i found my own solution.
When Avatar is learned, i added a trigger so another spell is added, "Deactivate Avatar" based on Thunder Clap. Then i made it to remove avatar buff when used (if avatar was activated, otherwise nothing would happen).. Actually it was a nice effect, so i added damage to the thunderclap spell aswell.
Now it is a kickass cool spell when deactivating avatar.

sadly, those deactivations are Not Yet Implemented (notice the NYI after them?)... and I dont think they will be implemented either...

So that's what "NYI" stands for... thanks
