How do I do timed effects?

[Narks]

I'm using a variety of systems, the two most relevant being xe (with xefx module) and TimerUtils.

I can use xefx + TimerUtils to create a timed effect at a location.

But how do I create a timed effect on a unit?

I am thinking something to do with AIDS and TimerUtils, but I'm not sure exactly how it would work out.

Define better a "timed effect on unit".

 

[Narks]

[ljass]call AddSpecialEffectTarget[/ljass]

wait 5 seconds

[ljass]call DestroySpecialEffect[/ljass]

 

[Romek]

struct Data
   effect e
endstruct

// Create:
local Data d = Data.create()
local timer t = NewTimer()
set d.e = AddSpecialEffectTarget(...)
call SetTimerData(t, d)
call TimerStart(t, ..., function Expire)

// Expire:
local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
local Data d = GetTimerData(t)
call ReleaseTimer(t)
call DestroyEffect(d.e)
call d.destroy()

I don't know xe stuff but it's obvious that you don't need T32 here, use TU and a struct, link the instance of the struct to the timer.

EDIT :
Like Romek example xD
