How to make a Feedback Blizzard Spell

[Jake Command Wolf]

Greetings,

As the titles say I'm wondering what it would take to make a Blizzard spell that in addition to doing damage with each wave, burns the mana of every unit in the target area, like Feedback.

I was curious to see how much custom triggering would be needed to make a 3 level hero ability like this in MUI.

Thank you for your time and concern,

Regards,

Jake

Well you could use Rain of Fire (it inflicts a buff) and then use a damage detection system on top of that to detect whenever damage is dealt and the damaged unit has the given buff. If so then you can remove the buff (so no unit will ever "actually" have the buff, only on the instance of damage that it is dealt in your script).

Once you've got that done you can easily use special effects and subtract from the target unit's mana so that it reduces it by, for example, 40 points (if a unit doesn't have mana then this won't even do anything).

Another way to do this would be to trigger the entire spell yourself, and when inflicting damage upon the available targets you would reduce their mana as described above. Are you using GUI?

One more thing; at the very top of the Triggers & Scripts thread there is a sticky made by Rui explaining which types of questions should be asked in this section, and which should be asked in the World Editor Help Zone section. The reason I say this is because this type of question (where you don't know where to begin) should be posted in the World Editor Help Zone section.

Good job, mystery moderator.

True Berb. Used triggers are:
Event:
Unit has a buff of type equals to true
Actions:
Remove buff
Set mana of triggering unit to (mana of triggering unit - 40)
