Detecting an avatar.

I am using standard avatar ability 'ANav' and I want to detect at some point if hero is in avatar, but since avatar does not have buff....

Any ideas?

You could check for all bonus stats + spell immunity of Avatar, or give him an hidden aura.
There might be also other ways around, but i can't think about any other right now.

Nah I think I will make a custom avatar.

Is there any way to add that avatar expiration bar to a unit?

use morph instead? chemical rage + spell immue + dmg bonus + life bonus?

I am scared of morphs...

Catch the casting event and add it to an avatar unit group. Remove it after the spell expires.

im even more scared of the spell avatar itself

avatar undispallable

detect cast
detect death
detect its duration

nothing more needed

... and so I made custom avatar based on berserk.

Avatar got a buff.
I know it's not written on the object editor , but we can see it in the gui actions
The raw code is : 'BHav'
I use it for de activate the spell

Off-topic: you have a neat avatar Fireeye.

Also, is there an RP forum?


P.S. - Avatar size should be increased

Slightly on topic...
Cohadar, no offense but you're good with all that Jass, but... the object editor is EASY. But I'll give you a hint.

Rule generally is if the ability has a duration, it generally has a buff. It's not always true. Some abilities which have duration but no visible buff BUT they have an in-game. An example is Avatar or Phoenix Fire.

Don't use Avatar. If a unit dies with Avatar on.. Go figure.

Why? Does the buff not disappear? I don't think that's ever happened with the Mountain King...
