drain attack

[rAmPaGingONI]

i need an ability so that when the unit with the ability attacks, it will drain a set amount of life and mana from the attacked unit if the attacked unit has mana plz help, iv spent like an hour so far trying ty

You can trigger it (with the event "When an unit is attacked"). Then, just cause the attacking unit to damage the attacked unit the appropriate amount and steal mana if the attacked unit has mana to steal. The only problem that arises is the repeated use of the "stop" key will cause multiple attacks to be registered, and the lifesteal and manasteal will trigger multiple times without an actual attack landing.

two problems: 1: as far as i can find there isnt a gui to check if a unit has mana 2: how would i increase the health of the attacker

Add the action "If/ Then/ Else (Multiple Functions)", in the If (Condition), add the Real Comparison -> ((Mana of (Attacking unit)) Greater than or Equal to X, and the action Unit - Set Mana of (Attacking unit) to ((Mana of (Attacking unit)) - X)
X is the amount of mana you want removed. Leave the "Else (Actions)".

ok that helps but i wanted the attacked unit to lose X mana and life and the attacker to gain X mana and life
EDIT: o and how ould i set a units mana regen to a negative value?

You have to use the GUI's Unit set life and set mana functions. Just add or subtract as needed.

Well i tried this trigger but its not working:*** Events******* Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time*** Conditions******* (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Felhound*** Actions******* Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) - 3.00))

Negative mana = in object editor under mana regeneration Shift + Enter and write - and a number.

Trigger (Not MUI or MPI):

• Drain Attack
• Event:
• A unit is attacked
• Conditions:
• Attacking unit has ability (your ability)
  • ((Mana of (Attacking unit)) Greater than or Equal to X
• Actions:
• Set Attacked = Attacked unit
• Set Attacking = Attacking Unit
• Unit - Set Mana of (Attacking) to ((Mana of (Attacking)) + X)
• Unit - Set Life of (Attacking) to ((Life of (Attacking)) + X)
• Unit - Set Mana of (Attacked) to ((Mana of (Attacked)) - X)
• Unit - Set Life of (Attacked) to ((Life of (Attacked)) - X)
• Custom Script - set udg_Attacked = null
• Custom Script - set udg_Attacking = null
