[Trigger] Autocastable dispellable Poison

Blahblah_Blagar · May 7, 2022

Should be a very simple thing to do

For quite a while I've been trying to figure out how to create an autocastable dispellable poison (a very simple debuff that drains life as long as it's active). I've been screwing around with the premade spells such as parasite and inner fire (with negative values), but parasite can't be dispelled and the later is considered a postive buff, so auto dispells and spell steal don't work on it properly.

I've been trying to do this thing triggers free, but I have no other ideas. I'm not too great with triggered spells, so any help here would be helpful. Perhaps I could make a dummy debuff and create a trigger that periodically drains life of everyone who has it?

~~what version are you using currently?~~

In any case, here's the test map.

If you can't open the map because you're a stinky poo-poo pirate or pre-1.31 refugee I've included the triggers export to the link as well; it just means you need to create your own ability and buff.
I removed all the stuff that shouldn't be usable in pre 1.31 so it should work but it's not a guarantee.~

Triggers for those who want to peek at my spaghetti. (so naughty~)
