Help me with this trigger please.

[pkraktis]

I need to make it for 3 witch doctors siphon mana a dummy unit that is inside the statue for the whole game until they die. Can you help make this trigger please.

umm..

E: Map initialization
C:
A: set temp_group = Pick every unit in playable map area of type witch doctor
A: Pick every unit in temp_group and do order picked unit to human bloodmage siphon mana CenterUnit0001

Thats what i came up with.

 

[pkraktis]

How can I make that trigger you posted?

 

[Jolly chap*]

umm..

You make a new trigger in the Trigger Editor.

 

[pkraktis]

The one you showed me isn't working...

 

[Jolly chap*]

Are you sure? Did you make sure the units you picked had the ability in the first place?

 

[pkraktis]

Oh the witch doctors need the mana siphon ability for it work? How can I give them the Bloodmage version of the spell because I only get the option to give it the neutral hostile.

 

[Jolly chap*]

Just create a custom spell based off the Bloodmage Siphon Ability, uncheck "Hero Ability" and then give it to the Witch Doctors on your map. Alternatively, you could add via trigger using Unit - Add Ability to (Last Created Unit) or your unit on the map.

AttackToMid 0087 is a locust unit that can't be seen. I need to make it look like they are channeling to it the whole game. I unchecked hero ability and gave it to witch doctors but this is still not working!

 

[Jagan]

Unit with locust are unable to be targeted. Remove the locust ability. If you don't want them to be seen, try adding the Ghost ability or set their transparency to 0%.

 

[pkraktis]

Ok I removed locust from the wisp and gave it Ghost and they are still not siphoning mana from it.

No workey

 

[Jagan]

Are the target units allies of the caster? Siphon Mana drains mana from enemies but transfers mana to allies instead. And I don't think you can transfer mana to units who are at full mana. That could be the problem.

 

[pkraktis]

It doesn't even start and I edited it to transfer only 1 mana per second anyway.

 

[Jagan]

Read it again. I left out something. And... Maybe it's better to just trigger the Mana Siphon effects by creating lightning effects between the caster and the target.

 

[pkraktis]

Can you help me create the lightning effects between the caster and target.

Does the "Wisp" even have any mana?

Yes
