I want my unit to not cast a shadow after he uses a specific ability. I have managed to do this in the Actor Event editor, but my problem is that the shadow stays turned off. I want the shadow to return after 6 seconds.
tl;dr how can I set a timer in the Actor Event editor?
I dont think my method is the best but here is how I did it:
Make a new empty ability for when you want to turn your shadow off.
Set it up in the trigger editor with the desired timing.
Refer to that ability in the Actor Event editor and turn your shadows on.

Are you using the 'SetCastShadows' event?
Perhaps you could create a new event using the same trigger, but add the term EffectPeriodIndex with index 6 or -6?
I'm not really sure, I've never tried adding a timer to an event sans triggers.
Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious.
