Yea thx, pretty sure its leak free

You know, would be better if you increased units drained per level.

-however consider balance in imba states.

Well I thought it would actually be easier to make the spell drain at the maximum 6 units at once for all the levels of this spell becuase otherwise it would have made the trigger alot bigger. But I actually never thought of increasing the amount of max units drained per level, only the amount drained. Good idea though. But in the end, a pro triggerer can always change it around to suit their desires.

All is here.
You can possibly also increase AOE, units drained, and max life drained.
Would also suit that drains from each unit individually - drains X amount from all units.


So much things to do..

1 : Multi-Instanceable already.
2 : Get rid of udg_Caster variable that handles (Triggering unit), just replace udg_Caster by (Triggering unit).
3 : I tested it with a bunch of units, it hurted invulnerable units. Also use the Spell Damage instead of normal.

Simply for revive, just : Hero - Revive (Triggering unit) at ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) start location).

(Random 6 units from TargetGroup) <- leak

And (Target point of ability being cast) is not a leak...its some sort of a variable so removing it is pointless.
And BTW if it was you could remove it right after setting TargetGroup.

Also you can make it more simple if you simply move the
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TargetGroup)
to be the very last action instead of making it on a couple of places.
You can avoid making the large If..Then by using two group variables: TempGroup and FinalGroup for example. What I had in mind is...

Set TargetGroup = (Units within 225.00 of TargetPoint matching ...)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Number of units in TargetGroup) Less than or equal to 6
    Then - Actions
        Set FinalGroup = TargetGroup
    Else - Actions
        Set FinalGroup = (Random 6 units from TargetGroup)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_TargetGroup)

After this you can put the same actions you used for "less than 6" Then - Actions, but using FinalGroup instead of TempGroup.
