Item exchanges mana for health ?

[samboluong]

I want to make an item that exchanges 50% mana for 50% health.

This should do the trick:

• Exchange
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to YourItemAbility
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet HP = ((Percentage life of (Triggering unit)) x 1.50)
    • Set VariableSet MP = ((Percentage mana of (Triggering unit)) x 0.50)
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to HP%
    • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to MP%

Your post is too vague to give you a proper solution. Chaosium's suggestion works but I'm certain it's not what you want (we can only guess).

What is 50% mana? Is that current mana or max mana? Do you need more than 50% current mana to use the item in the first place?

What does exchange mean? Is it a 1:1 ratio? If 50% of my current mana is equal to 200 mana, does that mean I gain 200 life?

it is suppose i have 1000 mana but i used up 500 i still have 500 mana left (so it can be called current mana)
I will trade for 500 mana and my mana will run out
The third one is correct in my opinion

Okay, so take Chaosium's trigger and adjust it to use flat values instead of percentages:

• Exchange
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to YourItemAbility
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet MP = ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) x 0.50)
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to (Life of (Triggering unit) + MP)
    • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to (Mana of (Triggering unit) - MP)
