Making Siphon Mana target allies (and take away mana)

[Masiah]

Ok, this may sound very stupid but I can't solve this problem: How can I make a spell based on Siphon Mana than can be casted on allies, enemies and your own units? I've tried already by setting permitted targets to Friends, Enemies and Player's units, but it still doesn't work... HELP!!!

Bloodmage's Siphon Mana can do these all without any edits.

 

[Masiah]

It doesn't, I've checked hundreds of times.

If you're asking how to make it take away mana from allies, then I don't know, but if it's not working the way it should, then you're most likely using an old patch.
Go to Map Options, look down until you find Patch used and select Melee Game Patch (current) or something similar. This option is automatically turned to an outdated patch when the map is no longer considered melee.

I'm completaly updated... (One of the few who doesn't have any problems with the new patch )
Yes, that is exactly what I want to do, substract mana from allies...

 

[Rui]

There is a field for that on the Siphon Mana spell. It is set to 30/60/90 I believe.
Set it to negative values and there you go.

And you would want to take mana away from your allies why? lol I don't think they'd be too happy.

 

[Masiah]

No, that didn't work either. D:

It's impossible to set that to negative values.

 

[Squiggy]

Hold shift and then click the field. Now you can enter neg. values

 

[FrIkY]

how about using Destroyer's ability ''Absorb Mana'', you can put targets to Enemy, Friends and Player units with it

 

[Super-Sheep]

Its not channeling.

 

[Masiah]

Still can't.

Rui is right. Select your WE and click the "Scenario" in the menu, then go to "Map Options...", on the very bottom it says "Game Data Set" and change it to "Melee (Latest Patch)" then it should work because I just tested it myself...

 

[Masiah]

YES! IT WORKS! Thank you very much, everyone! For your knowledge of WE or for effort, +rep!
