Request: Leech Life

[NoobMapmaker]

Im trying to make a leech life spell, but i have no idea how to start or which spell to base it off of. Either JASS or GUI is fine, i just need to be able to edit the damage values.

Basically, the caster "curse"(a negative guff) a targeted enemy unit, unless that buff is dispelled, the cursed unit will take damage every few seconds. The caster will gain a % of all the damage result from that negative buff.

Its sorta like the vamporic, but the buff does the damage instead of the unit itself.

basicly, you should make a DPS(damage per second example: shadow strike) sort of spell, and every time the damage is dealt, check the damage, and create a trigger that heals the caster for % of that.

But after the caster finishes casting, how do i refer back to the caster?

 

[Da InF]

you could do a "when ablity <name> is cast" set variable "caster" to casting unit
and then just use the variable

but what if theres 12 players and each player can have up to 6 heroes? If another hero use that skill then its hard to determine which buff belongs to each player.

 

[Just_Spectating]

use vars.


Set (Player[1-12]Buff) = Triggering unit
