Adding Buffs in Triggers

[AEK]

Should be a quick question here.

i cannot find the trigger command to add a Buff to a unit, am i blind or is there no trigger commant for it and i need to add it to a spell?

thanks in advance, AEK.

You have to create a dummy unit first, then make that unit cast an ability which has the desired buff on the desired unit that you want. AFAIK there is no "add buff" action

You'd need to create a dummy, then give the dummy the buffing ability and order the dummy to cast the spell on your unit.

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Add Inner Fire to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Priest - Inner Fire (Triggering unit)
        Unit - Hide (Last created unit)

Something like that. This will cast Inner Fire buff to your unit. Hope you understand. The trigger is not leak-free.

Edit:
>AFAIK there is no "add buff" action
It doesn't exist .

Oh, thank you

Edit: Ok, but when i go into "Unit - Issue order targeting Unit" it comes up with a list of spells but my custom spell is not in it... Am i usign the wrong action lol?

No.. it gives the Order ID, use the Order ID in the triggers that match your spell.

> it comes up with a list of spells

Look for the original spell you used to make your custom version.
