life leech attack buff

[mirrorman1de]

Hi,
I need a hint on how to create a spell that can be cast on other units and gives them a life stealing attack.
just like unoly frenzy but instead of attack speed the buff provides life steal ...

Thx

I believe there are 2 ways to do so.

1st way:
Create a dummy ability that casts on a target unit. When spell is casted, give the lifesteal ability to target unit and remove when buff is over.

2nd way:
Use a damage detection system, check if the unit has the buff, if it has, set the health of damage source to damage dealt/10(10% lifesteal)

give them the ability of the Vampiric potion, let them use it then remove it..
or you can do what skyblader said.

i have the same question, only regarding ranged unit (not hero). is there a way to make normal ranged unit to have a short duration lifesteal?

I think using a Vampiric Potion item would work, but only on units with inventory. You might add an inventory, then remove it later. Have a dummy skill to be cast on the target. When cast, create an item with a Vampiric Potion ability that has Use Automatically When Acquired for the targeted unit.

• Give Lifesteal Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Lifesteal Giving Skill
  • Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Level of Inventory (Hero) for (Target unit of ability being cast)) Less than 1
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Inventory (Hero) to (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Hero - Create Vampiric Potion Powerup and give it to (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Unit - Remove Inventory (Hero) from (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Else - Actions
      • Hero - Create Vampiric Potion Powerup and give it to (Target unit of ability being cast)

Something like that.
