Spell : Healing Autocast Attack

[ColourWolfe]

Hey y'all

So I'm having a little bit of trouble of being unable to successfully create this spell - and defeated I'm looking for someone competent to create this for me

Tooltip is as follows:
Imbues attacks with life force, gaining an increase in damage, and healing all allies near hit enemies for a percentage of damage dealt. Toogle autocast with right click.

Spell is an auto-attack ability, like Searing Arrows. It adds a magical damage bonus to attacks, and when it hits the enemy and deals damage, it heals all your allies near that target for 100% of damage dealt, both magical and psychical. Total healing is evenly split in between allies found in present zone, so it's not 100% each, but 33% for 3, in an example.

For any more info, do please ask.
Of course, full credits are to be given.

Should the spell be able to be manually cast once like searing arrows can be? Or is it just an on/off toggle with the autocast?

Short answer: you will need a damage detection system, then it's a pretty simple trigger to get allied units in range and heal them by Damage/GroupCount. The only slightly complicated part would be storing when autocast is turned on/off so you know if an attack should apply the effect.

That's the problem I've encoutered, yes. It being an autocast ability which can also be quick cast once with manual casting. Just like Searing Arrows, but with the effect of healing.

That's beyond my grasp of spellmaking, sadly. Still learning! In 2019 but fuck it!

Bump. Still needing this spell. It's the last step to complete that hero in particular.

@ColourWolfe
You could use a buffplacing orbeffect for the basespell.
Then use the damage detection combined with a check if the damaged unit has the specific buff of your spell.
If yes, remove the buff and get the healing done as mentioned above.

I've indulged into an afternoon of learning how the system works, and I think I'm able to utilize it now.
Spell works as intended, and was made in 10 minutes after a lot of reading.

For those looking for something similar, base spell is Frost Arrows, trigger is as follows:
