Replenish Mana and Life {cast and not auto-cast}

[Ham]

How to make Replenish Mana and Life to be cast and not auto cast. someone knows?

I have tried this with a different ability, but it would not work. All I managed to accomplish was getting a green block for when auto-cast was on and the tooltips to go all funny (instead of saying 'Right-click to auto-cast', it said random things like '$%' or 'GooDoo'. I'm not kidding, it said these things).

The best shot would be to use triggers, but I'm not sure how you'd accomplish that... in the end, I guess it wouldn't matter if such an ability was auto-castable.

Lol.. well this time it really matters, cause i am making a map where you use this ability to replenish ghost's soul (mana) but they are non visible to allys unless they make a ward to see them, and the bug there is that the ghost can auto-refill soul (mana) just by getting close to the unit that repenish it.

Hm... I have an idea, but it's not 100% the same as what I think you want... anyway, here goes.

The ability Rejuvenation can also be changed to restore the target units' mana. So... you could do something based off of that, setting the health and mana restored to suitable amounts for what you want to be achieved with a mana cost that would hopefully satisfy you. Other than that, I can't think of any other alternatives... well, good luck XD

actually mana siphon could do it, but somehow it's not working, and rejuvenation doesn't fit it cause i want to transfer mana from one unit to another, like Unit A has 10 mana, Unit B has 0 mana, then using ability Unit A transfer mana to Unit B, Unit A has 0 mana, Unit B has 10 mana, do you get it?

 

[Wazzz]

Well, have you allowed the Siphon Mana ability to target friendly units? That would be all you have to change for it, as it is already programmed to either steal mana from an enemy or give it to an ally . Makes it very handy for sacrificial spells. The same applies to drain life.

i think i fixed it editing a Gamplay Constant - Drain Transfer Mana set to true, let me try

 

[Wazzz]

That's odd. I didn't have to alter any gameplay constants to get it working for myself. Have you checked that the Mana Transfer rate has been set? Although, if it's working now, nvm

 

[Ham]

yes it was cause of that ~ (even tho, this wasn't what it really wanted but it's another way to solve it) so it is Solved!

 

[Wazzz]

AH, no wonder it was working for me! Have you set your Game Data Set under Map Description to melee - latest patch? Cause I auto-matically had both Drain Life and Siphon Mana transferring their thang ticked on True. Anyway, that's good it's now working, even if it isn't 100% what you wanted, it's still pretty good.
