Hey there, For an altered melee I'm working on I'm giving one of the heros a spell where he makes gold-sapping wards. I'm trying to decide how much gold per-second they steal from nearby players (you put them near buildings and they steal gold from the owners of the building). i want this to...

I made 2 heroes, they're the same hero but one of them is range and another is melee. When he casts an ability based on Destroyer Form, he turns into melee or range depends on his weapon type. The problem is when hero switches from one weapon type to another, he loses his mana upon casting the...

I have a hero in an RPG I'm making that would make the most sense to have this ability where she can continue to attack a target as she runs without having to do the normal "take a few steps, turn back, shoot, repeat" kind of thing most ranged heroes do in this sort of game. She would run...

Hello! Is there a way to make an ability for a unit that increases its health regeneration based on each 1% of its missing life? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this has always been the case, or just a bug with the recent patch. If you set multiple Techtree - Requirements for an ability, the ability ignores all requirements, except the first requirement in the list. Check dependencies is set to true. See attached map below for...

Hi guys, I have created multiple custom toggle abilities (with turn on/off) that are based on the ability Manashield (I chose Manashield as a basis, because the ability should not interrupt the units current order). I want to use them on the same unit within a spellbook, but get two problems...

Hey, I'm trying to convert my (solo) working triggered "spell" to work on multiple units at once using this: Visualize: Dynamic Indexing What am I doing wrong? I assume it might be probably related to the last triggers where I am supposed to switch variables. I'm using 4 loops each with its own...

Usually, to see if a unit has a spesific ability or not, we're using trigger like 'Level of Thunder Clap greater than or equal to 0'. Here, i wonder how to check does a unit have ANY ability or not. I believe it has something to do with ability id. In my mind, we'll do something like check the...

There's something weird (not) happening. BlzUnitHideAbility and BlzUnitDisableAbility are not working in certain cases. The calls to SetupCtrls in the initializer work as expected. When ButtonControlCndAcn is triggered (SPELL_CAST event) to "OPEN", CTRL_SFX and CTRL_CAM are not hidden as they...
