Help! Toggleable Windwalk which drains mana

[cazat]

Hi everyone, basically what i tried to do is an invisibility which can be turned on and off, and drains mana just like Immolation. each level decreases the mana drained. The unit is able to attack while invisible, but no speed increase or backstab damage like windwalk.

I have tried base the spell on Immolation, then add the Ghost ability (which makes the unit invisible but can still attack) when it is turned on. but i have trouble with disabling invisibility when the mana of the unit is less than required, if you know what i mean.

It would be nice if you guys can help me out with a working sample either in GUI, JASS or JESP, but please try not to involve vJASS or JASSHelper alike. THanks alot!

PS: I named the ability Wind Cloak

add it to a group variable when its turned on. every 0.06 secs check if it has the buff or not. if not, remove the invisibility.

Like that.

Yea, that should do fine. Remember to remove the 'Do nothing', it just fills.
Besides, you could add some critical strike to him, while he is stealthed, to make it more windwalk-ish.

thx guys for the suggestions. after twinkling abit the spell is finally functionable. the previous functions i post didnt work because of the unit array. i changed the variable simply to CloakedUnit, and the whole thing worked. but im not sure whether it would be MUI or not now...

make it group and its fully mui

and make the trigger be on all the time, duh.
