Tome of Mana?

[HardcoreRandy]

Hi there,

i have been searching the forums a lot for this, and i also have been trying out stuff for ever. But without results.

All i want is to add simple tomes of mana to my map which works exactly as tome of health, but instead it should gain my heroes max mana instead of max health.

Is there any simple way to make this work. With just object editor or a certain trigger?

I am just using the standard world editor by the way.

Any help is much appreciated.. Thanks!

If there is a base ability for the tome it is possible. Otherwise it is not unless you use triggers.

Using triggers you can do one of the following.
1. Make multiple max mana abilities and add them in combination for a new increased max mana.
2. Abuse a level rollback bug with the maxmana ability to increase maximum mana.

Well these systems does exactly what you want:

You can do an Unit - Set value

A unit gain an item

Item-Type of (item being manipulated) = mana tome

Set (Mana max of triggering unit) = (Mana max of triggering unit) + ( your gain of mana )

Vladadamm, no you can not. Although you can generate code that sounds like it should do that, the code just does nothing.

Maximum life and mana is a unit property yes. It however is not one you can adjust using the set unit property related native. That native will only alter the units current mana and life.

You can however get a unit's maximum mana and life via the get property native but that does not help the topic creator at all.

@Vladadamm

Yea, that was one of many things ive tried. But it didnt work, as all it did was just add mana to my current pool and not increasing its maximum value.
Thanks anyways tho!

@Axarion

Thanks for those links. Seems rather a bit complicated tho, but i will look into it and maybe ill manage to work it out.

@DR Super Good

Thanks for the replies. Appreciated

Should anybody still come up with an easy way to do this. Please let me know!

Try using the mana gain ability, and add it to the tome and make the tome Activated upon pick-up...

else just make a trigger which adds the mana gain ability to the unit when he gains the item...
