You know the light-blue bar that ticks down for certain things? (wards, certain spells, summoned units) Well, how do you change what it says?

It's the buff name actually. Make a custom buff and give it the name you want.

Assuming that you're using an ability to summon the unit, you should be able to create a custom buff that has the wording you want. Otherwise, I think you're stuck with the generic "Timed Life."

No, I don't have timed life, just using as an example. Thanks Alevice, you've been posting on all of my posts lately... Hmmm *thinks* but whatever. I had the buff thing in mind, but I wasn't sure. Thanks again, gotta go fix it now. ;D

Ha, I didn't even notice that. I should really look at the username once in a while :P

You can add a buff for the timed life. Timed Life is just the 'generic' buff.

Oh, I know, I actually meant that if he was trying to add an expiration timer to a unit via a trigger. In that case, I believe he'd either have to use the preset buffs or a generic one. In my experience changing the buff in this case to something other than one of the preset buffs causes the timer to show up as "Timed Life".

Shouldn't do.
