Images and Buffs problems

Hi All,

I have a system that lets the Cloak of Flames item stack. They way I do this is by having 6 abilities (not 1 ability with 6 levels) that have different dps values. Whenever a unit acquires or loses a Cloak of Flames, the triggers check the inventory of that unit and gives him the ability of the amount of cloaks he has.

However, one problem is that whenever I use the Mirror Image ability, the Mirror has less of a visual effect than the main unit. The cause of this I have found is that the ability I give to the real unit gives the unit the visual effect even though I removed all buffs from the ability!

Does anyone have a work around for this or know a way to have an ability with no buffs?

Replies are greatly appreciated.

Removing buffs doesn't work, if an ability doesn't have a buff set it will just use the default one. What you need to do is give the ability a custom buff that doesn't show the effect.

Edit: It could also be that the effect doesn't come from the buff, but from the ability's art-target or art-caster field or something.

Thanks for the input. My co-developer figured that using the "Damaging Aura Tornado" ability works without a buff icon and buff effect.
