[Trigger] Mana Detecting Spell

Mana Detecting

How can I create this spell : When a unit casts a spell he gains 5 life for every 10 mana used on the spell.

It is for an Item so it has to be mui.

Thanks in advance

I don't think you can detect mana cost directly. What you can do is check if the ability being cast is equal to Ability X and then give life equal to what you set as mana cost of Ability X times 2.

So if a unit with the item casts Chain Lightning and you set the mana cost of Chain Lightning to 100, then you check if the ability being cast is Chain Lightning and if that's true, then you add 200 life.

Umm, how do you determine how much mana it drains?
All of it?

No, get the units mana when you start casting, then get it after you've finished casting.

Then subtract them.

 

[darkrider]

exactly as hawk said... (tip: use begins casting and store the mana into a variable... then into another trigger use starts the effect of an ability and do the subtraction between those values)
