I have a custom spell based off Berserk that just increases movement speed. I would like to have an effect be shown on the casting unit while under the effects, but I haven't been able to at all. I tried all the art fields, setting their respective attachment points and nothing. I even tried using different buffs and setting their art fields, but still no luck. What buff/ability do I need to show an effect on a unit when it is casting? If I change abilities, I want it to be instant cast, and does not cause the unit to stop moving. |

I base a buff on the one used by berserk and I set the FX in the buff with no problems. You can base it on roar too, with the advantage that it allows to set the unit animation too. |

I have no idea why it is not working. I have a spell based on berserk. The relevant modified fields are: Code:
Stats - Buffs (abuf) "Run Away!" and I buff based on berserk. The relevant modified fields are: Code:
Art - Target (ftat) Exclamation Mark Art - Target Attachment Point 1 (fta0) overhead Art - Target Attachment Point 2 (fta1) Art - Target Attachments (ftac) 1 Text - Tooltip (ftip) "Run Away!" The spell activates, the unit gains the bonus speed, the unit gains a buff with the proper tooltip and description, but the unit does not gain the effect. edit: modifying the original buff does nothing either. |

Exclamation mark doesn't show, it happens to me recently and I don't know why, but definitely the issue is with the effect. |

:( so sad... I guess Ill use Abuff then, cause I really don't want to deal with triggering a stupid effect on a unit that should have it. edit: need to spread some rep, so ill get back to you. |

Buff tool tips generally don't like punctuation. Depending on the text of the original buff, things like ",", ";" and "!" can cause the text to truncate. I really wish I could help you with the effect, as I've experienced similar problems before, but I've never found a resolution other than starting again using different abilities/buffs. |

Yeah. Commas are bane to most tooltips. :( |
