The Ving, my prized creation, need a little help with their special capabilities to become unleashed. What im trying to do is:

1. Improve their stats (hitpoints, speed, attack rate, and power) while near each other of the same type.
2. When position near advanced units like the Ving Doomlord, they dish out AoE damage.
3. Produce Shadowclouds constantly, which provides air units addtional protection, speed, and armor.

Can u help me.

1. Hmm, create a custom aura based off Endurance Aura and with triggers, detect when nearby units have the buff every 0.0x seconds, and give them custom abilities increasing their life as an additionnal effect. Remove when unit is no longer close.

2. What do you mean?

3. Is that a passive effect or those Shadowclouds are actually units?

1. thanks.
2. I mean when the units positioned round a particular unit are attacking, they gain AoE on their attacks.
3. No its passive, these Shadowclouds are NOT units.

2. Well, you can switch to the units' second attack when they are nearby, that attack being an area of effect. When the unit goes on its way, give it back its first attack and disable the second.
This is done via triggers.

3. Give the unit yet another aura based off Devotion Aura, and with triggers give it yet again increased speed and stuff. :) (See the pattern here?)
