Is there a bleeding spell or I need to use a trigger?

[p4ntof3l]

I have a question because I want to do bleeding spell (the ability that drains hp periodically for some time). Can I make it using normal ability or I need to use a trigger?

You could base it on Slow Poison.

If you want different kinds of blood, you'll have to trigger it though (because bleeding skeletons will look kinda strange ).

When you say "drains" do you mean it just decreases HP of gives HP to the caster. f you want an untriggered bleeding spell just remove the attack speed bonus from unholy frienzy.

You could create a custom ability in the object editor, for example use the Syphon mana from BloodMage (human hero), and then change the Art-Effect to -> Add model, Spawned effects -> Whatever blood type you want.

I think that should work (I've never done a custom effect before, but that should work in theory)

When I said drain, I meant decreasing HP, sorry, my fault.

Yeah, see that's channeling, Psf_Kurt.
You can use Shadow Strike (comes with floating text)/ Soul Burn (comes with silence), Acid Bomb or make a triggered one. Ramza's idea about Slow Poison is fine, but it occurs upon attacking, it's not an actual spell.

Ok, thanks guys, I'll try to use Soul Burn

Now I got curious with this. How would you make an HP drain that makes the enemy start bleeding while the channeling?
Could you use syphon mana (or the equivalent with hp, hp drain?) and then just change that art effect as I said, or how exactly should it be?

Well, yeah, you can do that (remove the lightning effects) and it will look normally like that.
You can also trigger it, so that the target unit is paused, when being under the effect of this bleeding (in case you play DotA, Fiend's Grip of Atropos does that). So, you will add your target and your hero in a unit group and make some saves via hashtable. If your Picked unit has a boolean saved on him, marked as "target", then remove life or make the caster damage him, else, if the unit is having a boolean saved, marked as "caster", then add life via Unit - Set life (To value) action.

I'd generally go for the triggered version, I prefer coding the spells I'm using :]

 

[p4ntof3l]

You know, I'm making map almost 4 months totally alone, I'm getting irritated when I need to make new goddamn trigger :/

 

[p4ntof3l]

Humm, why my Soul Burn doesn't work? I have set duration time, damaging time and damage. My hero hits once and deals whole damage. I don't know what's wrong

 

[p4ntof3l]

Anyway I fixed it.

Offtopic: Yeah, it's been a while. Visit the official site, in case you're insterested. I haven't played with it yet either.

 

[bloody_Mage]

you can very simply adjust the buff from shadow strike(meaning attachment and stuff).And it will be like a bleed spell

OT: Yeah, I have been out for a few months now. Still waiting for the Mapmaker
