Other than Cold/Frost arrows, which leave a hardcoded blue effect (do not want), are there any autocast arrow abilities that leave a detectable buff? (This buff needs to be able to be modified) |

Don't Dark Arrows (or w/e they are called, the ones that make a Skeleton Minion) leave a buff? |

Yes, but if the unit dies with that buff on it removes the corpse. I always use "Incinerate (Autocast)." It has all of the benefits with none of the drawbacks. |

Orb of Corruption would be another option. |

Is orb of corruption autocast? I thought it was passive. Dark arrows also seems to be hardcoded to not work on heroes. I tend to use Cold/Frost arrows (only one of them can use a custom buff if I remember correctly, forgot which), the blue effect isn't an issue if you remove the buff on the damage event immediately and then apply your own custom triggered buff. |

Poison Arrows. And since when does Incinerate not remove the corpse? |

And that's true, Incinerate seems to be removing the corpses in the rare chance it kills something... |

Well, you could also manually trigger the autocast (though im not too sure if thats really possible). |

Upon further testing, Incinerate DOES remove the corpse. Hmm.. I'll try Poison Arrows again.. I don't want to use Cold/Frost arrows, because even with the default buffs replaced and a duration of .01, the hardcoded "chill" effect remains, which turns enemies blue (and looks horrendous when used on tinted units). |

for any other ability. Just think about it: 2 diffrent poison spells, you hardcoded the base, so... Did you try all orb abilities? Orb of Lignting, for example? |
| 08-28-2009, 12:44 PM | #13 |
They are not autocast |

Man, removing the corpse really doesn't matter since you should remove the buff upon detection and replace it with a triggered buff anyways. Quote:

I got Poison Arrows to do what I wanted though, so it's all good. |
