It's normal ^^. the special effect you chose can be destroyed while it appear and it will still stay, secondly, you don't need to "null" variable in GUI so remove "Set ...... = No unit"

 

[FannyShaver]

So, can be or can't? I just said it doesn't work and you've said something completely different.

 

[Kling[o]]

Well, I don't know if it will work but you can use a dummy then remove it.

 

[Laiev]

as kling[o] said, but create a dummy, attach an effect on that unit and add expiration time to that unit... vualá, mui

 

[FannyShaver]

Trust me, doesn't work that way as this effect cannot be attached to a unit for some strange reason.

Maybe this effect can't be created on target, try to use a point or change attachment point.

 

[Komaqtion]

All effects can be attached to a unit, if it doesn't work then there's either something wrong with the unit, or you've specified an invalid attachment point/path...

And you should destroy that effect right after it's created, as almost all effects has a death animation, which will always be played when it's destroyed

And also, if you attach a effect to a unit, and destroy the unit it will still leak, so this isn't recommended...

Look at the NEDeath effect and recommend me how to get the blast only without the flare going to the air.

Edit the effect model itself? When you destroy an effect, you don't actually destroy the current visual effect of it. When you destroy an effect, the death animation plays. Thus, there's no way to remove the effect while it's playing half-way, as when you destroy it, the death animation will always play, unless it doesn't have a death animation.

 

[FannyShaver]

:/ Right, will have to stay on the default blast... Crap.
