hello

i made this post once allready, but apparently it hasnt reached the server

short story:
i made a custom hero named a Legion Warlock, based on the Eredar Diabolist model, with Drain Life, Siphon Mana, Rain of Fire and Doom spells.

problem is .... if i target a unit with mana and if i have both Drain Life and Siphon Mana....even if i click or press the hot key for Drain Life, i get the SIphon Mana instead !!!

i have to move, and at the second cast, i get the green spell, Drain Life
it has happened so i get the green spell Life Drain on mana units....but very rare.

i have quite a powerfull quad core and run the game at maxx.... so graphic isnt the issue.

whats causing it ?
how to solve it ?

thank you

This yours?


Anyhow,
They are the same spell format so glitches will occur

You can try changing the order strings around (they both have order strings set to "none", and since they're the same spell type, this might have caused some problems. Just choose around different dummy spells).

If this doesnt work, you can make a double drain spell, based off siphon mana, and if you do, you have to go to "gameplay constants", and choose to activate that "drain mana also transfers life".
