[Solved] Problem with a drain life based ability

[HerlySQR]

I made an ability based in drain life that worked fine, but now for no reason the unit instead of healing its life get damaged, I think the problem is has to do with I use a damage detector, but I don't know about JASS, so can someone help me?

Can you tell me how?, just for the damage, for the effects I just use the original spell, no?

Yes I guess you can use the regular spell as long as it doesnt deal any damage.

I am not going to attempt to trigger it but this is how I would go about it: The caster and target should be saved with a unit indexer for easy triggering. Upon casting, I would add the caster to a group. Have a periodic timer in another trigger to Pick every unit in group and add hp to caster and remove hp from target every period. If caster is not casting, remove caster from group. If units in group = 0 turn of trigger / can use not equal to 0 aswell if that fits better.

Something like that. Perheaps etheral has to be considered. Also some Target(Custom value of (Caster)) variable to point to the target.

You can even configure it to do other things like reduce life drained life over time, have it drain more life if target has high percentage hp, add a drained buff if target gets drained for a certain time etc

Question, it says I can't use runic bracers and instead use damage modifiers, how can I do that?

Honestly I would consider changing to Bribe's Damage Engine as he updates it regularly, this PDD was last updated five years ago.

I read it, but I didn't get it, really works just changing the variable amount?
And I wanna use that damage engine, but is for the current version and I'm using 1.26

Was it necessary tell me that 2 times?

 

[Devalut]

Everything you need to know is on that spell description.

>Was it necessary tell me that 2 times?
Goodness my apologies

Question, it says the event si "Damage event becomes equal to 1.00" but I'm using "Damage event becomes equal to 0.00" and still works, there is no problem?

 

[HerlySQR]

Another questions:

1. It says I can't use Death Finger, but there is no problem when I tested it.
2. It not says this, but what happen if I use anti-magic shell (that has a limit), Is there a problem?

 

[Devalut]

Your questions should be directed at looking_for_help as they are the creator of the system, and he would know the limitations, I suggest PM'ing them but do note there is no guarantee.

With 1.26 your best option is to use Damage Engine 3A:

Damage Engine 3A.0.0.0 and 3.8.0.0 | HIVE

Damage Engine 3A in its installation instructions tells you how to fix the Life Drain problem.

Well, I already solved the problem, but thanks to share me this, I will see it.
