Mana Drain

[Boar]

Is it possible to make the mana drain abillity give mana to the targeted unit while causing the casting unit to lose mana?

The existing Blood Mage ability is supposed to be able to do that, but whenever I've tried WC3 just gives me an error.

No, You're Not reading it correctly he said:

That means for example: The Blood Mage Casting Mana Drain would lose mana while the target gains mana.

And Yes It's Possible, I forgot which one but in a tower defense you could do that to give your towers energy

Yeah, I remember reading the tooltip for Kael'thas' mana drain, and seeing "or gives mana to one of your units. This can cause the units mana to go over its maximum, but extra mana will quickly drain off"... then trying it and being unable to give mana to a friendly unit.

use the mana siphon of Kael, then use the field Mana Transferred or something like that...

isn't it that the Blood Mage's syphon mana, do that when casted on allies? I think it does atleast on melee game because I just used it. xD

exactly... at least I think he wont like to give mana to his opponents coz siphon mana can only give mana to friends while it would drain from enemies...

Yeah, i want the spell to give mana to targeted friendlies and target friendly Buildings ONLY, Any idea on what targets would have to be allowed to do that?

Yeah! That One ^_^!

Note: I've never gotten that power-passing mana drain ability to work, And i'm pretty sure power towers used a trigger.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

At least we know It's possible ^_^

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

To do it through triggers?

set the targets to structures,allied

 

[Spyda Man]

ive tested, use negative values on the mana points drained field, it transfers the mana from the caster to the target. (be it enemy or allied)

Try changing Gameplay - Drain can Transfer Mana to true in Gameplay Constants.

Perfect, Nice Job ^_^

Ive tried changing it to Structures, Allied... But it says "Must target an enemy"

Theres an option, just tick the ally box

You need to check Mechanical too, if you want to hit a structure.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Yeap, My Bad!

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

one of those things easily forgotten. (warlord.)

 

[CyberDuelX16]

XD, Indeed~!

really? I have some spells which can hit structures but don't have mechanical checked...

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

yes, you have to check it, if just 'structure' doesn't do it.
