How to make Death Pact work on non-undead?

[takakenji]

I'm pretty sure you gotta make custom spell for that.

I don't think you can change this - but you can create a dummy ability ( for example a channel dummy ability )with a trigger that does the same like death coil would do.

Edit: Nooo 1 second to late

Im too lazy to check right now but maybe something from the Object editor like targets allowed?

As far as I know, Death Pact only working on undead units is hardcoded, and not something that's changable in the object editor.

damn, can anyone give me a trigger for it to work then? i'm horrible at triggers

I can't test it up to now because I need to reinstall Warcraft III but what about this trigger:

• Death Pact
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Death Pact [New]
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of (Casting unit)) Greater than or equal to (Max life of (Casting unit))
      • Then - Actions
        • Set RestoreMana = ((Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Casting unit)))) x 40.00)
        • Set AbilityLevel = (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Casting unit))
        • Unit - Remove Death Pact [New] from (Casting unit)
        • Unit - Add Death Pact [New] to (Casting unit)
        • Unit - Set level of Death Pact [New] for (Casting unit) to AbilityLevel
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Casting unit)))) for 3.00 seconds the text: You cant cast the a...
        • Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to RestoreMana
        • Skip remaining actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Set RestoreLife = (Life of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        • Unit - Explode (Target unit of ability being cast)
        • Unit - Set life of (Casting unit) to ((Life of (Casting unit)) + RestoreLife)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Casting unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DeathPact\DeathPactCaster.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DeathPact\DeathPactTarget.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Death Pact is unable to cast if the caster has full life ( get a error massage if casting ). I solve this problem with the "then-action" - maybe there's a better way in Jass .... but I remove this ability and re-add it to the caster.

Also I restore the mana of the casting unit because it has no effect ( Example mana cost for the ability here is 40/80/120 )

I still don't know what better here (casting unit) or (triggerunit)

can you make a demo map of it or can anyone else? it would be much easier, like i said, i have little to no experience with triggers
