Siphon Mana problem

[TwoVenomous]

hello everyone, i have a problem with Siphon Mana.

whenever i target my own unit, it said 'must target an enemy unit'.
but when i target my enemy, it said 'must target friendly unit'.

i had already read up this Reverse siphon mana, but the TS didn't give a proper answer

he said 'Something in Gameplay Constants was preventing the reverse effect.'
but i couldn't figure what is 'Something in Gameplay Constants' were.

anyone know how to fix this problem ?

You should be able to configure my http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-custom-life-mana-drain-0-05-a-222215/ system to do just that, except that it isn't channelled, if that's an important aspect that you need.

If you dont want to use the system, set the Constant 'Gameplay - Drain Transfers Mana' to true

already set this to true but the problem still occurred.

actually, i don't want any of the effects from the siphon mana, i just want the lightning the spell creates. something like this for every 0.03 seconds

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600 of tempPoint matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Picked unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set tempPoint2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of Caster) at tempPoint2 facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Dummy Siphon (Neutral Hostile) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Dummy Siphon (Neutral Hostile) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Liquid Absoprtion for Caster)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Siphon Mana (Picked unit)
    • Unit - Add a LA_Duration[cv] second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

but it only creates a lot of dummy without casting any spells.
that's why i am here to ask this thing.

i already tried the second choice, that is to create lightnings constantly. but i don't know how to destroy it, when i do this

• Lightning - creates lightning
• Lightning - Destroy (Last created lighting effect)

it didn't show any lightning effect at all X(

Then you should recheck your valid targets list I guess.
If its still not working you may post the testmap and I will try to fix it.

hmm, i figured out what's the problem i think. i set all the value field to 0 (mana transferred, mana drained, etc), i think that might be the problem. when i set it to 0.01 instead of 0, i can cast the spell.

anyway, thank you for both of you. +rep
