[Trigger] Mana Drain Trigger?

[Superclaude]

Is it possible to make like:

every 1 second

Set Mana of Unit to -1

Because every time i try that it wont let me press ok
It works for Life but not mana.

 

[Emm-A-]

Dude, thats not specific enough. Please post your trigger, and what do you mean by "pressing ok". There are many possibilities...so yeah, please explain a bit more!

1. It's possible and this trigger this easy.

2. There is an ability that drains mana so in some cases you can do it without triggering.

Well the full trigger is:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Run
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to 0.00

What i want is so that the unit that casted run would run faster and for that his mana will be drained.
But i cant put a negative value for mana.

try the Ctrl or Shift trick i don't remember what was the key it must work

No. You don't need negative. There is the ability called Mindrot (ANmr). Neutral Hostrile --> Units.
You can cast it with dummy on hero when he uses a speed up ability.
And movement speed can be changed with triggers.

Superclaude, that behaviour is to be predicted.

Why are you trying to set your units mana to -1? Especially since it is impossiable for units to have negative mana, it is only logical that it should not let you.

I do believe you are after setting the unit's mana to (unit's current mana -1), afterall that sort of sounds like what you are after.

However, if you still want the unit's mana to be -1, use JASS as there are no number restrictions there. However, I would still recommend using 0 over -1 as they will both have the same effect.

Seems to me like he is just trying to use the mana pool as say, a stamina pool. IE Diablo style.

In that case, just do what someone else said set up a trigger and use a dummy unit to cast Mind Rot on your hero when you use the "Run" ability.
