Reversing Drain Life

[DeathRing]

With that spell Drain Life that the Dark Ranger uses, I noticed that in the gameplay constants the spell could be made like the Blood Mage's Siphon Mana ( to give mana to allied units ). I've been trying to make Drain Life exactly like that except it transfers life to allied units, not mana. Well, I did the basics, setting the targets to Air, Ground, and Organic, setting life transfer amount, yet the spell won't allow me to transfer life to allied units. Could anyone help me?

SO you want it to give life? I think you can just change the life that it takles away to a negative value, so it will take away a negative, which is giving a positive =). I believe to that you can set negative values by holding shift and clicking on the field or just putting the negative sign in front of the value. GL

Yea, Chaos Overload, I kinda got an issue, I thought what you said might work, but unfortunately you still can't give the life to allied targets, only enemy .

You gotta change who it targets. Which you can do. Look for it and you should be able to find it.

I know about that...that's like the most obvious function within creating any spell. I should of said that I can switch the target to Allied, Friend, but it still won't target them.

If you modified an existing spell, changing targets allowed won't work because of some stupid blizzard bug, you have to make a custom ability out of it

Note: Before setting negative values in object editor, you must go File -> prefferences -> check allow negative values in object editor

Really, hmmm, darn Blizzard, oh well I'll firgure out a way, thanks for letting me know about that bug, silvenon.
