[Spell] Devour Hero Ability

[DrunkenBoy]

hello everyone, i'm having a issue, i'm trying to make devour a hero ability (with 3 levels and heal over time), problem is if a hero cast the skill it does nothing, it only works if a nonhero unit cast, any idea how to solve this? *FIXED *(didn't know it also need the devour cargo skill)

(also any sugestion to make the heal over time work together with the digest effect)

Thanks!

How are you envisioning this heal to work? Flat amount? Damage dealt by devour? % of devoured units current/max life? Scaling with attributes? Some of these are easy and some are hard. In general they would involve detecting the devour cast, then either dummy casting a healing spell or periodically healing the caster with a trigger until either the unit is devoured, it's unloaded (not sure if that's possible?), or the caster dies. I presume the unit runs a death event when devoured so you probably don't need it but this system can detect load/unload events and I presume it works with devour too: GUI Unit Event v2.5.2.0

thanks for your reply.

to summarize, leveled fixed amount per second until the devoured unit dies.

since is a 3 level skill, the only thing that change between each level is the amount of health per second.
i read a tutorial of heal over time but the time is fixed.
since the digest depends on the mob amount of health is what will determine the time that the heal will be acting.
would be an interested mechanics in my opinion.
