Help- Hunger Feed Ability

[All_Time_Pro]

Hello I needed to figure out a way to modify the Cannibalize ability of the Unit Ghoul to another animal so that when it eats corpses it gains mana instead of health. I would appreciate any help thx!

Imo you will need to trigger the whole ability yourself.

Dang it I was hoping for a way to avoid that by using someother alternate ability like Mana Drain. Oh well, thanks Nichilus!

Just tested this
You can order a unit with triggers to cast siphon mana however when the bones decay, it will crash the game if it is still being drained

Thats an interesting method, thanks!

Unit starts ability
ability= your ability
pick all units within X of your unit
if picked unit equal dead and not equal to custom_unit_type
Create custom_unit_type corpse at position of picked unit
Set lasst created units transparency to 100%
Order unit to siphon mana last created unit

Put siphon mana into a disabled spellbook and give it to your units. Im not sure if last created unit detects creating corpses. You will have to test that. Also not sure if you need to make it transparent but it might look weird with a massive pile of corpses nearby.

Limitation is that they will continue sucking mana if they starte before the corpse disappeared.
