Mana Problems

[Grantuu]

I want to create a hero that has got a mana regeneration of 0 Points per Second.

But....

- this Hero should gain int per Level
- should have no mana regeneration near any Fountain
- should have no mana regeneration through Potions, Auras, Wards, Items like Sobi-Mask or any other mana source
- other Heroes should regenerate their mana the normal way

Get the item ability "Item Mana Bonus", go to Data - Max Mana Gained and Shift + Double click the field to add -99999 mana. Then, add this ability to your unit either via triggers

• Unit - Add Item Mana Bonus to (your unit)

or by adding it to the unit via Abilities - Normal.

that doesn't solve my problem 'cause

-I don't want a hero that has a infinite mana DE-generation
-If I wanted a hero with 0 Mana i would just set the maximum mana of it to 0 via Trigger

I think I've not made my point clear at my first post so sorry if I sound harsh

That seems impossible :/

You could try removing the heros mana completly.
No mana
No mana reg

Then add mana pendant ability to the hero which gives him mana.

I don't know if this works but you could give it a try

OK I'll try but.... how to manage the thing with int and fountains ect.

EDIT: do Fountains only affect a certain classification of units?

like not affecting mechanical units??

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

I think you can set the targets.

The fountains use an ability to heal.
Just change the targets for that ability

That thing I gave you is not an infinite degeneration, it's an infinite negative mana amount.

 

[Grantuu]

that could be the Solution^^

I just set the targets of potions fountains auras wards ect. that they don't affect that hero.
And than via Trigger adding a mana Degeneration Skill reffering to amount of the int of that hero with a degeneration exactly fitting "managain per int * int"

@ Pharaoh_ OK sorry then I got it wrong but I still don't understand what you mean:

If i add a infinite negative Mana amount to the hero he can get any mana right??
but I want him to get Mana upon using his skills (forgot to say in first post too sorry)

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

It's going to be really hard to it the negative mana reg exactly to the normal one :/

I highly suggest triggering the abilities and use triggers.

e.g.


ability 1 gives 50 mana.

You use an integer to store that mana and every 0.5 sec you set the mana to the stored integer value.

If he casts another spell you just modify the integer as you please.

So you actually want to create a Barbarian from Diablo. Yes, you should be more specific, because total mana removal is different than mana regenerated only by skills. So, remove the base mana regeneration and you can add to the hero the classification of 'Ancient'. Then, from every source a unit can gain mana, simply add to Targets Allowed "Non-Ancient" and you'll get what you want.
Then, triggers:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type (your hero-type)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) - ((Real(Intelligence of (Picked unit) (include bonuses))*0.05)

This 0.05 is the mana regeneration each point of Intelligence provides. Using this trigger will actually remove the regeneration coming from the Attribute.

hm I also thought about that but I think I'll do it the way I've written

It's not hard to match exactly the normal mana reg I just have to go to the advanced Editor thingy look how much manaregeneration a hero gets per int point and then go to the OE and edit A skill whit X Levels (Where X is the maximum amount of Int the hero can get including items) and just do then as I've written before

EDIT: Wow thanks didn't expect that it's that easy

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Remember that this method will not remove any additional mana reg.

Mana fountain, mana aura, mana potion, mana steal (item) everything will still work.

 

[Grantuu]

hm.... you're right.... but....

Can't I just set the targets of the Fountains Auras and Items that they don't affect the hero

Like Pharao_ suggested making the Hero Ancient and then tick at the Targets "Non-Ancient"

^Yes, that Pharaoh_'s suggestion will work nicely.
