Disabling avatar animation?

I am seeking to make a spell based on Avatar, but I would like to disable the avatar animation where it increases the size of the caster. Is this possible? I've tried using triggers, but I haven't be able to make it smooth despite resetting unit sizes every 0.1 seconds.

Thanks in advance,
TR

I recall the SLK saying that AoE effected size increase, but it doesn't seem to work, so I'm gonna have to say it's not possible. Sorry.

I really doubt there is an easy way to remove the sfx of avatar, but there are ways around.
Maybe you could base the spell on something else and make that spell do nothing, and make a trigger to create a dummy caster to cast bloodlust or something similar to increase the attack etc, and you could use triggers to give the Hp boost. Or you could replace the unit with another one, and make a count down timer to reverse the effects by replacing the unit back to the original.
There are complications in both ways. Especially if you have more than one unit that can use the spell. In that case you would be stacked with variable work.
I'm sure there are other ways, but thats the only 2 that i can think of.

would't the normal set unit scale work? I really don't know but it is worth a try
