Delay problem when removing self-made effect model

[Arkan]

I've made some models myself and I have successfully implemented them in wc3, but the problem is when I call DestroyEffect() it takes about 4 seconds before the effect disappears. This only happens on my self-made models, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the .mdl file.

Could it be that my model only has a "stand" animation and that a "death" animation is required? If that is the case, how can I easiest make one? I just want the model to disappear instantly when I call the function.

Funny thing is it actually works if I use the model as an attachment on an ability, the model is removed instantly when I remove the ability. But if I use AddSpecialEffectTarget & DestroyEffect, the 4 second delay is there.

Well, either add a both birth and death animation or simply make the model itself disappear after a while. Check for example "Avatar" model. It has no death animation, but it is repeating itself, which means that it has by default a death animation (although it is not displayed as an actual animation name).

Yeah, I believe that you need a death animation. The 4 second delay is probably the decay time on effects (which can be changed in the gameplay constants).

Dude... thanks!

You're welcome

Just remember that this will change the decay time for ALL effects.
