Spell Request - Passive Life Absorb

[Nordmar]

Hello once again my attempt of creating this ability failed and I hope someone can help me with this probably hard one?

It is a passive ability. Whenever a friendly unit is in X range of the main hero, the main hero creates a bond between him and the friendly unit (bond should be visible by a special effect..like the lihtning effect of far seer or smthg similiar). He can connect multiple units with himself (so..not just one). Now, whenever the main hero attacks, it heals all the connected units its by X% of the main heroes attack damage (i stored the atk dmg already in a variable, so u dont need to take the actual dmg of the hero)

Is this impossible or doable? Thanks


/edit: or if its easier: the connected units share a damage reduction with the main hero. Likre that orc unit ability..(forgot the name)

Easily done.

Use a DDS to check when unit takes damage.
Check if anyone within radius has the life absorb ability. If true, store the unit (with the ability) into a variable.
Then heal all friendly units within radius of stored unit by damage * 0.X

The only part that is somewhat difficult is to display a lightning between targets.
I would use a simple lightning array for that.

edit: Noticed that it should only proc for the caster. So the first unit group is not needed, my bad.

Well, you say it is easy but it's really not if you try it. It also.should be MUI ofc.

It's MUI. And I am not lying, it is easy. Though easy is subjective.

Hmm..okay. I tried it this way: Whenever the main hero attacks, pick every friendly unit in x range of X and heal them. So this works and I agree that this part is easy but.how do I createthe connections and when they are too far the connection gets canceled?

For that, I would either go with Lightning or SFX.
Lightning is dangerous if you're not careful though.

Use a 0.03 periodic timer and bind both user and target, update the position accordingly.
