Well i got the trigger for increasing mana every time a unit with a specific ability gains a kill. In short this is meant for a unit that becomes tanky via abilities that only cost 2 or 3 mana, his max is 12, and he can only gain mana via kills, making him tanky against lots of little guys.
But I've hit a snag, because i want the unit's mana regeneration to never get higher or lower based on intel or items, only have a set negative regeneration of one mana every 5 seconds (his regeneration is set to -0.2)
I'm having trouble setting a unit's mana via triggers, and I've also tried an ability that gives mana and the level increases as the hero's level does. Setting his intelligence to 0 as well as setting his regeneration to 0 also having him not gain any intel via levels has worked, but an item that can give mana (available to other heroes) can break him. In short i;m wondering if there's a custom script to essentially reset his max mana and mana regen at short enough intervals, or trigger turning off the effects of the intelligence stat for him.
I've also looked into constantly setting his mana to an integer, so any regeneration or intelligence wouldn't come into effect because his mana is always set to what the integer says it is (his current kills minus abilities and natural decay) but this still leaves the problem of increasing max mana via intel items or other buffs that might be floating around. (So far i think this is the best way just need a max mana trigger)
What I'm thinking is a trigger the essentially resets his max mana every few seconds to whatever the amount needed is. But I've spent all day on this and i have to say that I'm stumped. Any help at all, even a better scripting tool then what's in the vanilla frozen throne editor would be awesome.
