Life Drain different Hit Points Drained values for Heroes and units

[KPC]

Hi, I would like to modify the ability Life Drain so that the fields:

has different values depending on the target type.

Specifically:

• one value when the target is a Hero,
• another value when the target is a non-Hero unit.

What can be done in this situation?

Can't really be done with object editor field values. You will have to trigger/code a custom version of the spell.

You could modify this trigger for your purposes

Haven't tested but it's probably possible with the reforged ability functions

• Drain
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Life Drain
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Target unit of ability being cast) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: Life Drain)'s Real Level Field: Hit Points Drained ('Ndr1') of Level: 0 to 100.00
      • Else - Actions
        • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: Life Drain)'s Real Level Field: Hit Points Drained ('Ndr1') of Level: 0 to 50.00

Only the "Level: 0" part is finnicky if it's a hero spell, you'd have to take the ability level minus 1
