    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions

            • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) - (20.00 - (Real((Level of Wind Walk for (Picked unit))))))
          • Else - Actions

Rough and easy way of doing it, just remove the group leaks later.
If you want the unit's wind walk state to be removed with 0 mana. then try this.

You have to start with 21 - real lvl of Ability.

Because:
21 - 1 = 20
21 - 2 = 19

and so on =)

I am just begginer in world editor so thanks for this trigger.

Actually, it can be done a lot easier. Go to gameplay constants-switch default constants off, search for Hero-Maximum level. Switch that to 20. Then go to abilities, configure the ability, and there's the mana drainage for each level, and you can manually ajust it.

but i also need help with another skill. i want that skill will cost some money(i know how to do this) but i dont know how to disable it when player hasnt got enough money...

ehm, but if it should be SAME like cloak ability in SC (if attack you wil stil remain invisible) its better to use this

1.make ability based on DH's immolation, remove all needless stats, set mana draining, mana cost atd, set buff (like windwalk buff)

2.make two triggers

• triger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Cloak
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Ghost to UNIT X

and

• triger 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (UNIT X <gen> has buff Wind Walk) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Ghost from UNIT X <gen>

Cloak is name of ability based on immolation, Ghost is ability of undead shade-pernament invisible

if u want tofind out, wether the player has enough money or not, try to add this to your spell-Trigger:

• Set integer1 = (Player X (Colour) Actual gold amount) //[Search for Player Property]
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • 'IF'-Bedingungen
    • integer1 <greater or equal to>XY
  • 'THEN'-Aktionen
    • // if integer1 is greater or equal to the amount XY, then he has enough money, if not the "Else-Action" will start, that means nothing
    • -------- Activate your spell --------
  • 'ELSE'-Aktionen
    • Do nothing

I hope this can help, btw you dont have to set "Do nothing".
