2. You are correct. If you want a gameplay effect that applies for a set duration just give it a duration and leave the period at 0.0. This will give you a non-periodic effect that applies its modifiers and any associated tags for its whole duration. In this case the ExecuteOnApplication flag should have no effect.

3. Modifiers should not stick around after their owning gameplay effect has been removed. I haven’t seen this happening but if you are seeing it please let us know so we can investigate it.

I hope this clears things up.

Thanks for the response, Fred. I’m 's partner and have been tracking this thread. I’m going to post a couple of screenshots of a particular GE that I’ve been working on and the observed behaviors, none of which are what we want

Purpose of this GE: increase the affected unit’s movement speed by 2x (large magnitude for testing) for a duration; does not stack

I would expect the following to work. I gave it a duration and a magnitude of 2, and set stacking such that it should not be stacking above 1 stack, as desired.

The above configuration does absolutely nothing. The GE is applied but their movement speed remains unchanged.

If I add a period greater than 0 to the same GE and tell it to execute the periodic effect on application, then it works in so far as the affected units have their run speed doubled. However! It also stacks infinitely, despite me having set the stacking rules, and the effect never wears off so they maintain that stacked speed forever.

Here’s that setup:

So, if you could provide some insight as to what we might be doing wrong, that’d be greatly appreciated, as I’ve run out of ideas as to why this either doesn’t work or stacks and doesn’t fall off. Thanks.
