Spell - Forked Lighing + Life drain

[Fuin]

K is it possible to make spell which hit for example 6 units (like forked lighting) with animation from life steal (Green link) and convert 50% dealt damage to hp for caster?

Yes, you can.

Base your spell from forked lightning, change the lightning effect you what lightning effect that you want, then do the trigger.
Until like this:

Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing ((Life of Target) / 2.00) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal.

I think he wants the caster to gain 50% of the damage done by the spell. In which case you would need to create a damage calculating system or somthing, i've never done it.

well you can use if/then/else statements to figrue out what level teh abilitty is and then just add teh damage done/2 to teh caster. no need to trigger the damage you just have to adjust it according to what you set it in object editor. for example lets say in the object editor you have level 1 set to deal 100 damager and level 2 set to deal 200 damage you woudl do

if
level of multi drain (made that name up) equal to 1
set life of triggering unit to life of triggering unit + (100/2)
else
if
level of multi drain equal to 2
set life of triggering unit to life of triggering unit + (200/2)

and keep doing that for each level

But that wouldn't always work because what if the target of the ability had less than 100 health?

Create a custom spell based on forked lightning, change the Lighgtning Effect to Life Drain and do this:

Required Trigger
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to < [COLOR="Red"]Your Spell[/COLOR] >
    Actions
        Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + ( < [COLOR="red"]Damage Dealt by Your Spell[/COLOR] > / 2.00))

You should add in a if/then to check if they have less than 100 hp left.
