How to delay mana replenish/Spirit Touch?

[Shade Da Scout]

I need a trigger or something to "delay" mana replenish/spirit touch.
Meaning:Hero casts "mana replenish/spirit touch" and after x seconds he will recover x mana to himself.
Hero can move, but some abilities and attack will be disabled while he waits for mana to come.
Hero can only use move, patrol and hold position.
It would be great if hero could play a certain animation during the wait, even when moving, if that is possible.
It can be based on any instant ability I guess.

p.s.:my wc3 is currently dead so I won't really know if the trigger will work, so I can wait.

Edit:Hero can't drop items during the wait and can't activate "defend".

Belongs to requests subforum.

Requests=skin, icon, model
Triggers & Scripts=trigger

Or I got it wrong.

Requests=skin, icon, model
Triggers & Scripts=trigger

Or I got it wrong.

requests = skin, icon, model, spells
Triggers and scripts = help w already made triggers, jass, vJass, i think cJass and Zinc i may be forgetting one

Bump, and I guess this should be moved to requests.

You have to specify which ability(es) doesn't get affected.

If I just attach SFX to the unit, is this acceptable ?

Does the cooldown of the spell > time taken for the spell to take effect ?

This is how far I got:

-Event
Unit starts effect of ability
-Condition
Ability cast=DelayedMana
-Action
local unit udg_u
set u = triggering unit
order NeutrAlallseeingDummyInTheCornerOfTheMap to Soul Burn/DrunHaze u
remove "defend" from u
remove "sorm bolt" from u
Wait 5 sec
set u's mana to 100%
add "defend" to u
add "storm bolt" to u

According to rullerofiron99 this is MUI and correct.(my wc3 is still dead so I can't test it)

You have to specify which ability(es) doesn't get affected.

They will be removed and added again.

Close enough I guess.

Does the cooldown of the spell > time taken for the spell to take effect ?

cooldown=5 sec, wait=5 sec.When you activate the ability it goes to cooldown, so when it's ready to be used again, you gain mana (can't be used if mana is full)[ability is not silenced so you can see it ticking]

You know that if the unit is in magic immune state, the Soul Burn won't work on that unit, right ?

There will be no magic immunity in my map.

By far that trigger should work because you're using local variable.
Do you have any problem with that trigger ?

Since my wc3 is still dead I can't be 100% sure if it will work.All I need to know is how to how to set "local variable", since I don't think I've ever used "local vqariables".So all I need is to see how it should look like and the case is solved.

• write in here how it should look like
