I love playing offline with bots,
But, i want to edit my favorite hero krobelus (death Prophet) ultimate.

If it possible?

I want to make her heal for each spirit hit , instead of waiting for the duration

Sorry for my bad language.

Normally, the heal is applied at the end of the spell as each Locust returns to the Crypt Lord. But in this case LuaPirate wants the Locusts to essentially have a Lifesteal ability which applies it's healing to the Crypt Lord rather than the Locust itself.

@LuaPirate
You need to use a Damage Engine to detect when the Spirits deal damage and then apply a heal to the damage source's Death Prophet.
There will only ever be one Death Prophet per player so it should be pretty easy to get access to the hero. For example, when Death Prophet enters the map you can store her in a Unit array variable and use her owner's Player Number as the [index]. Now whenever a Locust deals damage you can get their owner's Player Number and use that to get their owner's Death Prophet.
  • Set Variable PN = Player number of (Owner of (DamageEventSource))
  • Unit - Set life of DeathProphet[PN] = Life of DeathProphet[PN] + 20.00
And here's a popular Damage Engine, although I imagine whatever DotA map you're playing already has one:

This is assuming that you can actually edit the map... If it's protected then we can't help you.

See i almost thought my memory was failing me, but actually the basic Locust Swarm is working like i said.
Icefrog changed the 'Data - Damage Return Threshold' to very high in DotA, thus the locusts (ghosts) only heal upon return.
If you want instant heal, you can just lower that threshold - e.g. make it match the damage output of said locusts.

Quite an interesting ability.

You're right, I didn't realize the Locusts "returned" while the spell was still active, the description makes it sound like returning is what happens when the spell ends.
