API:RemoveEffect

UI Lua API · Effect functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Asks the server to remove (click off) one of the player's own effects.

RemoveEffect(effectIndex)

Arguments

effectIndex: number – Index of the effect, as given in the player's buff data (effectIndex).

Nothing.

Sends a "remove effect" request with effectIndex to the server. Only the low 8 bits of the value are sent (0–255).
The client does not check that the effect exists or can be removed. The server decides.
Exactly one argument must be passed.

None besides the generic Invalid Parameters message when the argument is missing or not a number.

Right-clicking a buff icon, from default/eatemplate_unitframes/source/bufftracker.lua:

local buffData = buffFrame.m_buffData
if ( IsValidBuff( buffData ) )
then
    RemoveEffect( buffData.effectIndex )
end
