We have 3 variants of forcibly vanish effect before its duration will end:
1. When unit uses ability
2. When unit attacks with its regular attack
3. When unit moves

I want to have option 4 — when unit is damaged (maybe even several subtypes — from any scource, from enemy attack (specifically attack, not ability though), from enemy ability) — and option 5 — when unit is targeted by ability (here as well — from any scource, from enemy, from ally; this must not work when unit is affected by any aura though).

Ideas where this may be used in aof:

Most ranged buffs — when unit is attacked the buff is removed;

Passive regeneration buffs — some of them might have much higher values but only when unit is not damaged during process so any damage and effect vanishes;

Some debuffs — to remove them you must use ability on ally (different from disenchant since they might be physical effects and thus dispel/disenchant must not affect those);

Sleep/stun ability — to awaken unit from those effects which must be unaffected by regular disenchant you may use some damaging effect (aoe, any scource) or maybe some ability to affect unit (only allied ability).

With these options we may add more powerful abilities but which will work only until unit is damaged or targeted by some other ability.

tbh i have idea how these work, can you tell me example units on each case?

Existing ones:

1st + 2nd: any kobold in aof and their invisibility ability — its effect will vanish once kobold will attack or use action.
2nd: red crystal of regular warfell units — it lasts for several turns but will vanish after first attack.
3rd: i think we did not use it yet but i have in plans how to use it

As for suggested ones — is not used yet anywhere but 2 castable buffs — troll regeneration and lizard regeneration — might vanish once unit receives any damage. Ofc with increased regeneration for balance.

ok i see it now.
these are the setting now:
WEARS_OFF_AFTER_MOVE, // the effect (if on unit as a enchantment) will wears off after unit moves
WEARS_OFF_AFTER_ATTACK, // the effect (if on unit as a enchantment) will wears off after unit attacs
WEARS_OFF_AFTER_ABILITY_USE, // the effect (if on unit as a enchantment) will wears off after unit uses spell or ability


what you wrote is too diverse.
i can make a single simple if unit gets damaged maybe (eg. by attack, or by turn a by turn poisoned deffect, or any other hp reducing effect).

Well let us get at least 2 new:
Wears off when damaged — enchantment effect wears off when unit is damaged by any scource.
Wears off when targeted by ability — enchantment effect wears off when unit is targeted (and effect is applied) by any ability.

what does it mean "targeted"?
i think you mean not only targeted, but being hit (by non hp damaging ability)

Yes targeted and hit by non-aura type ability.

So is this accepted to implement?

Is it under implementation?

Any progress here?
Wears off after attacked (if possible regardless of attack result)
Wears off after affected by ability

not at all, i am working on unity version recently.
