Hi!
Not sure i've ever posted on this forum before, so please be patient with me.
I am going through, doing an altered melee map, just for my own amusement. Probably the single biggest alteration i am making is switching out the caster units, and using a different array of spells.
On the Orc side, i am wanting to create a vampiric spell based off of Spirit Link. Why?
Well, i have a few reasons. One, perhaps most important, i don't want to confuse the AI by creating something too far removed from the usage of the base spell. For another, while i want it to serve a group support role, that support needs to facilitate a confrontational play style. Thus this is just a very simple spell that buffs multiple units with a temporary passive vampirism. Simple as that! But i want to base it off of either Spirit Link, or Healing Wave.
Ok, so here is the deal. I am sure i could make some clumsy half-assed version of this that would leak over the place, and look like hell. I want it to be cool, and be as direct, and efficient as possible.
Now, i could be utterly lazy, and just ask you great guys out there to make a spell for me -and if any one feels inclined to do that, by all means! But after i post this, i am going to go tinker on the editor and see what i can come up with myself. I seem to have a vague memory of Spirit Link being a difficult spell to work with because it was hard coded to behave a certain way. Healing Wave might be easier.
Thank you so much for reading my request!
