spell/buff end event

Kackwiesel	Hi, I need an event for a windwalklike custom spell. It has to trigger when the ww-like Spell ends. I have found a solution for my problem, but its based on timers. Is there any trigger event, that does this job?

Anitarf	I think there is no way to detect that. I use waits or periodic checks for the buff myself in cases I want to know when the spell expires. Of course, the periodic check is only accurate as much as it's frequency is.

Kackwiesel	Another possibilty could be to add events like: timer-WW = 0; unit is issued any order; and conditions like: issued order is not equal to move, smart, stop etc.. but I dont know the order or the condition for learning spells. So the trigger runs if I learn a skill.

Milkman	A unit stops/finishes casting a spell won't work?

No it doesnt because the buff isnt a spell. :(

Shimrra	The only way to detect whether a unit has a buff or not like that is to use periodic timers or events. E.g.: Code: Events Every 1 second of the game Conditions Actions: If all conditions are true then do Then actions else do else actions If Unit has buff Windwalk equal to false Then Actions Else Do nothing

Ã„hm yes. This is how I have done it. But it sucks, because you have to check it for each player...

Shimrra	I know, but Blizzard didn't put in any nice events like "Unit gains buff". Sorry...
