Soul Steal

[Fallen Solar]

how do i make soul steal in dota like lifedrain?

Description:

Creates a link to a target unit, transferring life away from you if cast on an ally and to you if cast on an enemy.

Level 1: tranfers 20 hp per second
Level 2: tranfers 40 hp per second
Level 3: tranfers 60 hp per second
Level 4: tranfers 80 hp per second



Notes

• Damage type: magical
• Not channeling.
• The link will end if the target is farther than 575 units away from Soul Keeper.
• If cast on an ally, there is a sub-ability that allows you to terminate the link.

Are you just remaking dota, man?

All the stuff you ask about is from dota.

Anyway, personal digression aside, try the spell workshop in the request forum. I'm sure Def can probably do something for you.

That's the problem nowadays isn't it. This spell sounds 100% like a dota spell, but in so many cases, I read "omg this is from dota", not just spells, even full maps. Someone creates a AOS map and some say "it's from dota" without even test it, same as spells. A spell looks like a dota spell for 20% and again "omg it's from dota" ..

@ blackgod2315: You don't should take a spell from another map and create it for you. I mean you can of course but I ask myself why? Where is the fun? To make an own spell is better, free your mind, play with your fantasy and create a good spell and not copy some spell from a map ( this is my opinion, but you can do what you want ^^ )

@ Vizel: You right, we got a request forum for it!

Is this not just a slightly modified life drain? Life drain already drains life from the target to you which fufils half the requirements.

I heard siphon mana allows you to charge allies mana so perhapse try messing with that so it works with life.

This spell is already in wc3, only that it is channeling, like, in DotA you can move while having this casted.
I would also like to know how to make it, for educational purposes.

Hmm I think it's a spell created in vJass (vJass because of AddLightningEx but you can create it in GUI too with custom script then).

Just store the .caster and the .target. Next step I think is to create a lightning from both positions with AddLightningEx, store this lightning and move it between both points ( of the .caster and .target )
Now simply IF .target = Enemy: then drain from .target and give to caster ELSEIF .target = Ally: then drain from .caster and give to .target.

That's all

This spell actually uses dummy unit I think ?
The green lightning effect is just an ANIMATION of the dummy ability
The dummy position/unit is updated once every 0.03 seconds
The transfer of HP by following trigger:

• Actions
  • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + DamageGather)

Where DamageGather is either Integer or Real variable that saves the damage dealt by the dummy, and then transferred to the Caster
well, this is my theory =D
