[Spell] Draining Life and Mana

[VicALV]

Hi hive, i created this thread because i need help to creating a spell:

The spell summon a tower with expiration time. in the region and every second will drain 1 hp and 1 mana of the units that are in the range of the tower summoned

every hp point and mana point drained will be store in a hp and mp variable

if in the region there is no unit, the hp and mp variable will no increase

the hero have a Drain spell, when he active the tower will destroy and he get the hp and mp stored

if the tower is destroyed be the enemy he only get 50% of the hp and mana stored

if the tower get 0 expiration time hive get 100%

can you help me creating this system?

First start of with implementing a unit indexer. (I recommend Bribe's Unit Indexer.)
This is highly recommended to keep MUI data on units.

You need four array variables
1 boolean (to check if the unit is one of those towers)
1 real (for hp)
1 real (for mp)
1 unit (which is the source/caster)

You also need a unit group variable which is all the towers.

When you summon the tower, you set (all using the custom value of the tower)
The boolean to true
The hp and mp to 0.00
The unit to the caster

When a unit dies, you check if the unit is one of those turrets (by checking the boolean with the custom value of the dying unit)
If it is true, you check if the killing unit is owned by an enemy of the source unit (the variable).
If it is an enemy, you give 50% if not, you give 100%.
You also set the boolean to false and the unit variable to No unit. (The reals dont matter.)

If it is not a turret, you loop through all towers (the unit group variable) and check the distance between the dying unit and the tower.
If the dying unit is in range, then you increase the hp and mp values of the custom value of the tower.

Last but not least, you make another trigger that runs when a unit starts the effect of an ability.
You check if the ability is the one that unsummons the towers.
And you give the hp/mp and set the variables back to default.
(Also check if the target is one of the turrets, if not you should order your unit to stop, maybe remove and re-add the ability to avoid the cooldown.)

You forgot to make them array variables.

Download and import a Unit Indexer and make the variables array variables.
Try to do the variables over

Then do this checklist:
1, Add newly summoned towers to a global unit group.
2, On every second, you loop through all the units in that group (all towers).
3, You pick all units in range of the picked unit (the picked tower).
4, You remove the picked tower from the units in range.
5, You loop through all the units in range. (Be aware that Picked Unit is not from the outer loop, so you have to store it in a temp variable.)
6, Remember to destroy the groups/locations/special effects.
7, Preferably do the check using the boolean instead of the unit type. (For better import/customizaton reasons.)

Rule #1, First do it the correct way, then make it work.

im very lost T.T i cant do that jajajaj T.T

Pilar de Vida - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com check that

 

[Wietlol]

I dont check epic war, i want to see triggers/scripts, not maps.
One of the reasons why THW is better than EW.

It is not hard to do, but you have to do exactly what I said.

You need four array variables
1 boolean (to check if the unit is one of those towers)
1 real (for hp)
1 real (for mp)
1 unit (which is the source/caster)

Going back to what I said before, you need arrays (aka lists of variables).

is a problem the language but see the map in thw
