[Help][Spell] Recharge Mana ?

[Allahcalypse]

Once again I would like to get peoples opinions on the best way to do this spell.

The caster chooses a friendly unit that needs mana. The caster must be touching this unit (melee range) and it will give X amount of mana per second. This spell is channeling and the unit and the caster must remain still.

Thanks

siphon mana

100 cast range
100 area of effect

edit transfer rate as desired

gameplay constants check drain life/mana transfers mana/life and drain life/mana gives bonus life/mana

Well as a base I would definately use the spell Channel and then just trigger that baby up. It would be perfect for your needs.

I thought about Siphon mana except that;

1. It can be cast on enemies.
2. It doesn't lock the unit being cast as being channeled (sort of like how Possess works?)

I'll attempt to use Channel and trigger it up, but any guidance as to what triggers would greatly help.

Thanks !

After turning on the gameplay constants i mentioned, it can no longer target eneimes
As for freezing both units, make 2 simple triggers:

pause
events
units starts effect of ability
conditions
ability being cast equal to siphon mana
actions
set u = target unit of ability being cast
pause u


unpause
events
unit stops channeling an ability
conditions
ability being cast equal to siphon mana
actions
unpause u

lol sorry I'm still learning this thing.

How do I change gameplay constants?

Also, does siphon mana take Mana from the caster and give it to the target? I need it to just give mana without sucking the casters mana.

Thanks again

on the main window of WE under the advanced option, gameplay constants. tick use custom gameplay constants and edit as desired.

I'm not sure if it can transfer without draining from the caster though.. although I'm gonna say no it can't...

 

[Allahcalypse]

Then Siphon won't work.

I could do the Statue spell with way less range...

Or I could use the mana-per-second-non-combat-mana-regen item found in the Orc and human shop and maybe edit it to make both units have to stand still/channel ?

Thanks a lot btw

good idea im just completing it and u dont need to change gameplay constants just change 'Data-' sections for siphon mana in object editor

pause
events
units starts effect of ability
conditions
ability being cast equal to siphon mana
actions
set u = target unit of ability being cast
pause u
turn on(addmana <gen>)


unpause
events
unit stops channeling an ability
conditions
ability being cast equal to siphon mana
actions
Turn off(addmana <gen>)
unpause u


addmana
events
every 1.00 seconds of game time
conditions
actions 
Unit - Set mana of (u) to ((Mana of (u)) + #)

where # can be changed

Just to avoid confusion, its "A unit stops casting an ability"
"A unit stops channeling an ability" does not exsist
