[Spell] Healing target with a modified Life Drain spell

Darkey · Oct 24, 2015

What I'm trying to accomplish is to make a channeling spell that resembles Life Drain but with a few modifications.

1. It heals the targeted allied unit while channeling.
2. Instead of draining the caster's health, it'll consume X mana per second. Max 4 seconds.

As I understand it, the Life Drain/Mana Siphon spells won't allow this because they're hard coded to target enemy units. I've made a dummy ability for the hero based on the Channel spell, but I'm not experienced enough to make it work like I want it to.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Drain Life can be configured to transfer the caster's health and mana to give the target health and mana respectively, i have seen a few custom maps where the spell functions like this.

You CAN'T make it give health per sec, cost mana per sec though, so you will have to trigger it if you want it like that.

Darkey · Oct 24, 2015

Indeed, which is why I need help with it.

It'd be nice to be able to make the spell stop if the caster runs out of mana as well. Otherwise it'd be way too abusable.

Darkey · Oct 24, 2015

So this is what I've got so far. It's still a work in progress but please feel free to add your contributions to it.

I'm positive I've missed something. Unfortunately I can't think of it.

P.S

How do I add a life drain/siphon mana effect between the two units? The spell is based off of Channel and adding Lightning Effects to it does nothing. :/

DEE-BOO · Oct 24, 2015

You will also need to check if the target gets out of range, so the link can be broken. Also you need to check if the target becomes magic immune to break the link. You also need to check if either the caster or the target is dead, otherwise the caster will drain from the dead body/the caster will drain when he is dead. Finally, you need to deal damage to the target, not drain his health, otherwise if the target dies from the health drain, the caster won't get the kill.

Darkey · Oct 24, 2015

Not sure if I understood that last part correctly?

*EDIT*

This is my current situation and there's a few problems. If the targeted unit is at max range (600), it won't be healed. And if it was in range and moves out further away it still continuously heals for the duration.

DEE-BOO · Oct 24, 2015

This is not the same

Unit - Set life of (TARGET) to ((Life of (TARGET)) - 100.00)

as this

Unit - Cause (CASTER) to damage (TARGET), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

EDIT: Oh, it's a friendly life drain, sorry for not reading it all, but this still applies if you want the life drain to target allies and enemies.

Darkey · Oct 24, 2015

I don't want it to cause damage, though. It's supposed to drain the caster's mana whilst healing the target's health for as long as it's channeling.

DEE-BOO · Oct 24, 2015

Don't have the breaking point of the link the same as the casting range. So if casting range is 600, breaking point will be 700/800.

Darkey · Oct 24, 2015

I tried to change the breaking point to 700, but the caster still channels the ability after the fact. On the plus side, at the very least, the target unit doesn't heal as long as it is outside of the 700 range. :/

Try switching it around

Still the same result, I'm afraid. :/

No changes, unfortunately. But it was worth a shot.

Oh wow, was it really that easy? X_x Thanks a lot for the help!

I've still got the dilemma of making a lightning effect between the two units like with Siphon Mana/Life Drain. Any suggestions?

The effect I'm currently getting is that once a second hero with the same spell casts Healing Surge, it replaces the previous one while retaining the Lightning Effect. Only the last cast instance of the spell will heal. I've done my best following the guide you provided but I'm a little lost at the solution of this problem.

This part should just be Integer A

For each (Integer HealingSurgeCount[Spell_Index]) from 1 to 40, do (Actions)

Also, you need to de-index every variable involved. You also need to HealingSurgeLoop_Integer instead of Spell_Index for every action in the HealingSurgeLoop trigger. Just take a look at the tutorial again. If it doesn't work, compare your triggers with the tutorial triggers.

Sorry I haven't been replying but life got in the way. But now I'm back and I've tried my best to update the coding for the spell. It works, to some degree, but if I have more than one instance running at the same time, the game will crash.

You're using a primitive indexing method and are getting crashes due to mishandling of destroyed lightning handles.

Using http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-spell-system-v1-2-3-2-a-273415/, you can save yourself the trouble with indexing.

If either unit is moving, the lightning will look jittery. Use 0.03 instead.

These may be interesting to you:

Dont drain life have a buff? Just used it with both mana field and life field set to 0, and use a loop that checks if the target has the buff, to do the rest.

Darkey · Dec 25, 2015

There's been a slight change in how the spell works now. Both the caster and the target will be able to move while the spell is active. The only problem I have is the spell crashing the game.

Bribe mentioned it's because the lightning handles aren't optimal, but I have no experience with Jass or vJass so I'm left in the dark as how to implement a viable system. :/

Bribe · Dec 25, 2015

Set your lightning variable to null right after destroying it. I think it will fix the problem.
