As you can see, everytime a player clicks one of those 3 buttons that special effect is created. If i destroy it immediately, then they wont see the effect. If I use 'waits' then its not MUI. I don't see how to use timers here either..

Thanks in advance, +rep.

Why not just use waits?

You can just set (Last created effect) to the effect after it's made, then wait then destroy it.

Make a new trigger like this

• DestroyEffect
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local effect tempEffect = udg_SpecialEffect
    • Wait 2 seconds
    • Custom script: call DestroyEffect (tempEffect)
    • Custom script: set tempEffect = null

add this to your current trigger:

• Actions
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of D_Caster[D_MUI_GO] using Abilities\Spells\Items\AIem\AIemTarget.mdl
  • Set SpecialEffect = (Last created special effect)
  • Trigger - Run DestroyEffect <gen> (ignoring conditions)

The SpecialEffect is a variable of type Special Effect.
