*Yawns*
1. I see you already have a name in mind.
2. I can think of a way that the recipe targets items with an ability, increases a charge based on the item, and if it turns out to be a appliable recipe, it creates a new item in your inventory. I can set up the triggers for you, but it would take some time.
3. If you want the entire thing to be red, you can export the models for the drain caster, drain target and drain, change their pathing for skins to a custom blp, export the skins and tint them red, import the mdls/blps and create a totally new effect.
4. I havn't experimented much with heros transforming between permanent units, but I do know this...
You have to make two units. With most transforming spells, both units must have the same exact spells. Differences between the units should only be set in maximum life and mana, as well as damage and defense counters. Make sure the starting unit and morphed unit are different.

Ok well its not ok
I tried what u told me kc but the trigger for recipe aint working and the trigger for shapeshifting is well pretty hard to do actually cause when my unit shapeshiftes it changes form yes but it doesnt be a hero anymore so im kinda banging againts the wall :banghead: becouse i cant make a stupid hero shapeshift normally and i cant make the recipe like in Dota.

P.S to all of those who hate dota my deepest apologies i just cant see how they can make all those things work and if i could just open the Map and look at the triggers but i cant its protected

P.P.S I like the idea for life drain and finger of death model i hope that works when i build it

What if I pick up the items in some other order?
What if I pick up some other item too?

IF
- OR multiple conditions
- - Hero has item of type
- - Hero has item of type
- - Hero has item of type


Same for dropping them.


Also, there's not really a need to check this every couple seconds.
Just wait for the event "unit acquires item"...

1. Searinox

2. (Agree with AceHart)

3. Base ability from life drain and change the effect's (or buff, im not sure) model file to perhaps the finger of death model. Edit -Agree with kc102 :shades:

4. (Agree with Jindo)

However, no Flying Sheep were harmed during the making of this trigger.


The three items in the conditions are those you're supposed to have.
The very last line gives you the new and improved one.
