Removing Roar buff

[ThySpektre]

Could someone look at the following trigger and tell me why the Roar buff is not getting removed from the units casting the "Portal Rip" ability. I based Portal Rip off of Roar because it was an ability a normal unit could have, and use, that I could attach an effect to. However, after they use it, they all have the roar buff attached to them.

Portal Rip
    Events
        Unit - A unit Uses an item
    Conditions
        (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Portal Rip
    Actions
        Unit - Remove Roar buff from (Triggering unit)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within ((Real((Hero level of (Triggering unit)))) x 200.00) of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Triggering player)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Triggering player) and Change color
                Unit - Add Getting Ported  to (Picked unit)
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Druid Of The Claw - Roar
                Unit - Remove Roar buff from (Picked unit)

btw..the first roar buff from the unit using the item gets removed just fine.

if the item ability is based off roar in the first place, then take off the buff's in the object editor..

Some spells will still have the buff even if you remove it... if that happens edit the icon on the buff in buff editor, change it to None and it wont show up

Doesn't setting the icon to none result in the icon being that dude's face? There are some buffs without icons (like freeze) and the buff is the dude's face.

Change all your Triggering Units to Hero Manipulating Items, and all your Triggering Players to Owner of (Hero Manipulating Item)s.

Yep, that is the case here.

Interesting, I did change the icon and it selected the icon for the NEXT buff to use then. That is very stange. The buff's icon is set to none yet in game, it has the icon of the next buff in the editor shown.

Perhaps I based this on a bad ability then.

What is an ability, with a buff (to get the special effect at casting) a normal unit may cast that I can modify to 1. do nothing on its own and 2. will allow its buff to be removed?

Thanks!

i agree with him, that's what i think your problem is..

I wasn't sure what difference this would make, but I tried it. It made none.

The trigger is selecting all the right people (it is changing the owner just fine in the origianl trigger). It is just not removing the buffs.

It's supposed to remove the Roar buff added by the spell it's casting, right? If that's the case, you'll have to remove the buff once it's finished casting, not right after you order it to cast.

Make roar's targets allowed to none
