Trigger problem

[Dr. Boom]

I want create a spell, that drains a random amount of life and mana from the hero, each friendly unit in range get healed by both amounts and nearly enemy units get damage by both amounts. Also the Hero should lose the drained life and the drained mana.

I create the following trigger, but it doesn't work correct. The casting hero always die, and the damage/heal is always the same. Tested it 20 times and always the same. Can someone help me please? =)

• Heart of Sheria
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Ds Basic
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint11 = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set DragonCounterLife = (Random integer number between (Integer((Life of (Casting unit)))) and (Integer((Max life of (Casting unit)))))
    • Set DragonCounterMana = (Random integer number between (Integer((Mana of (Casting unit)))) and (Integer((Max mana of (Casting unit)))))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 450.00 of TempPoint11 matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + ((Real(DragonCounterLife)) + (Real(DragonCounterMana))))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 450.00 of TempPoint11 matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - ((Real(DragonCounterLife)) + (Real(DragonCounterMana))))
    • Unit - Set life of (Casting unit) to ((Life of (Casting unit)) - (Real(DragonCounterLife)))
    • Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to ((Mana of (Casting unit)) - (Real(DragonCounterMana)))

hehe silly life of casting unit is the current life of the casting unit, and max life is the maximum life it can sustain, meaning the damage caused to casting unit is equal to a number between its current life and the maximum life it can sustain, so lets say the hp of the casting unit is 5, and its max hp is 7, the random integer will not be any less than 5, and so 5-5 = 0 = dead unit

dont worry, everyone makes silly mistakes like this xP

happy mapping!

But one problem still remains - my trigger should pick a random amount of his life and his max life (and mana) but it always picks up the max life and max mana and heal/damage the targets in range.

How to fix that? =O

are you testing the map with the test mode of the editor?
the test mode sets every random integer always to the highest value.
i don't know why.

Hmm I tested it with the normal way and the editor test - but always its the amount of max mana and max life =S

I looked to the trigger 3 times now - but I don't get it

ok it could be also the mistake that you choose a value between the life and max life. so if the unit is at max hp the result value will always be the full hp amount.
maybe you should just use a value between 1 and the max hp/mana.
