reversed mana drain

[pangahas]

How do I make a spell that would give mana on target unit instead of draining them..I tried making custom spell based off life drain,set mana drained to negative value but can't cast it on buildings even if I set the target allowed to mechanical structures and friend..

So, I create a custom spell ( based on life drain ) to. I change targets allow to: Air, Ground, Structure. Also I change Data - Mana Points Drained to -25.00 (for example) and I can cast it on buildings and unit and ofc the target unit/building gains the 25 mana per second.

Problem is ( I don't know but can be ) that the casting unit lose the 25 mana per second. This can be solved with a hashtable, that you give the mana back to casting unit, but I'm a noob with hash so I don't try it ^^

So far i know mana drain IS able to do that at ladder games. Maybe you just set the game-data-set to the newest patch =)

I have an simple ideal to gives other people mana without using triggers but it will not be like mana burn... There's a skill called rejuntion .. nvm i don't how to spell but all the spell does is to heal people over time during combat. Change the heal into mana heal... DONE!! lol if you don't like this, don't hear it. lol

What do you mean?

The standard Mana Drain ability of the Blood Mage already has the function of transferring mana over time to an allied unit.

Also, you could use Rejuvination - as although it's normally a heal spell in the game it does have a mana regeneration component (just that it's set to 0 by default) as suggested by huiren92.

The problem with mana drain is that you can't target friendly units, no matter what you set the targets to.
Rejuvenation isn't what he wants: he wants to drain mana (reversed, though), not heal mana.
Also, the spell should be a casting spell where the caster may not move, otherwise the effect will wear off.

So basically, it has to be triggered.

I believe I've already given him the correct triggers, though ^^

you can target friendly units with the blood mage's mana drain and when you do it gives them mana reducing your own... try playing normal game and use the blood mage to see.

Ehh, no? (I've also tried it with a friendly unit and by changing the targets).

Can you give a screenshot where you use mana drain on a friendly unit?
Or perhaps a test-map, anything is fine...

ap0calypse, you need to set the map to use the latest patch. Go to Map Options (on that list where Map Description comes first) to change this.
That is one of the advantages of using the recent melee patch settings.

If you go under "advanced" in World Editor, then go to "Gameplay Constants", there should be a thing that says "Gameplay - Drain Transfers Mana".It's normally set at "false"; just toggle it to "true".

Then base your custom skill off of the siphon mana from the Blood Mage. It has to be the blood mage one (it says in the editor suffix brackets), since that's the only one allowed to transfer mana. Also, it wouldnt hurt to uncheck "check dependencies".
