Shield Casting

[Hell_Raider]

I want to build a unit that works as a shield generator. My basic plan is for it to be able to cast mana shields on other units, but when those other units are shot the mana comes off of the caster and not the unit its protecting.

Does anybody have any idea how I could make this work?

You need a damage detection system to reverse the damage and drain the shields.

Then you could use hashtables to link the generator with the targets. When a target is damaged load the generator handle and if it has mana left, drain it and return life to the target.
