[Solved] Siphon mana problem...

[CoLd Bon3]

Hi! I want to ask why when I cast Mass Drain (spell of the Spider Queen), nothing happens? I want when my hero casts it, 2 beams, the one blue and the other - green, to hit the target (i want the beams to be like broken in the middle) and then drain both HP and mana from the target... but the beams arn't appearing... i used siphon mana as the dummy spell for the dummies. (you can see my trigger in my posted map below... the trigger name is 'The base MD trigg' 10x+rep if you help me!

You add Siphon Life to the MassDrainDummies[2] and you order it to Siphon Mana instead.
You also order the dummies to target invulnerable dummies.

Hmm.. it's not working again. Actually i think that i should use Siphon Mana because the dummy magic is siphon mana, not drain life! (you can change what to drain in the stats of the Blood Mage's Drain mana) Still - i tried with Life Drain, but nothing happened again... And the second thing - i had marked the 'invulnerable' check box in the Stats - Targets Allowed, but still nothing happened...

You're targeting units of the same player, therefore "friend" should be checked at targets allowed.

I think Man Drain is hard coded to be allowed to be cast on enemies only.

Nope... i tried even with default mana drain and still nothing happened... please help! I also make sure that dummies have mana and HP (they kave 10 000)

I finally make my dummies cast and everything is OK, except the fact that when i order them to move instantly to an place and they stop cast...

 

[Pharaoh_]

That action that moves units instantly interrupts orders. You need to use
SetUnitX(unit, XofLocation) and SetUnitY(unit, YofLocation).

Amm... i think that this is a custom script... can you tell me how to write it? Or if it isn't - where i can find that function?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes, it should be used within custom script action.
Well, say Loc1 is the location you want your dummies to move to:

• Set Loc1 = (Location here)
• Custom script: call SetUnitX (udg_Dummy[1], GetLocationX (udg_Loc1))
• Custom script: call SetUnitY (udg_Dummy[1], GetLocationY (udg_Loc1))
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Loc1)

Like this.
