Custom Hero Attributes + Buffs

[The Pigeon]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create customs buffs? I want to be able to give hero skills that increase things like movement rate, attack rate, mana regen, hp regen etc but not as an aura and not having to do it as jointly with something else (i.e. just adding attack speed, instead of attack speed AND movement rate).

Also, if anyone knows how to balance these kind of bonuses for an individual hero instead of an aura (other then trial and error) please let me know!

Buffs don't actually do anything, they are just graphics, you'll have to use invisible abilities or modify the base attributes of the heroes.

You can use buffs to trigger certain events through triggering. So if a unit has a certain buff, have a trigger give it the bonuses.

You could achieve the same effect through a unit group variable, I prefer to not mess with buffs unless I'm trying to trick copies of the same aura to work together.
