Loss of Mana

[Kirtanei]

Hi there.

I'm currently working on a map where Heroes won't gain any direct effect from Attributes (i.e. Defense from Agility, damage from Prim. Stat, health from Strength. etc.), they gain them via Research upon leveling up.

While not being the fundamental I think it may be cause to the problem.
You see, whenever my Hero picks a new ability it loses all mana (leveling up an ability does not cause this).

Could it be related?

Just do Unit - Set mana to 100%

But that would make the map extremely imbalanced if a Hero could receive 100% mana just for taking a skill.

Conditions - Unit Mana equal to 0.00%?

When the hero gets the abilility, set a variable to its current mana. Then after he gets the ability, set his current mana to that variable.

its code related, somewhere you set his mana to zero, there is no skill to do it.

But it's a MOBA-type of map. It could, in a pinch, turn a situation upside-down.

I'll try and dig a bit deeper into it all. Hope I find something along these lines.

I have no idea what Moba is. You are being very ambiguous. What exactly is your problem?

So whenever his hero levels +1 his mana gets set to 0.

Check your triggers for anything mana-related and check them or is your Intelligence negative or something, and that when you changed it from gaining mana from Intelligence something went wrong.

His intelligence is 0.

I've made sure you don't get mana from intelligence.

I've made a trigger that, upon leveling will research an upgrade that supplies the Hero with mana, health, mana regeneration and damage.
- I'm guessing it's related to that research.

But so far I can't seem to tell what exactly causes his mana to drop.

well, check his maximum mana, or base mana, or dont use upgrades? create abilities and just add the corresponding agility/intellect/str based on the abilities they get

Okay. So I did some testing and it appears he's affected by the maximum mana.

Increased it to ~1000 and upon choosing an ability he didn't lose any mana.
Thanks a lot. I'll see if I can work around this.
