Another spell request!

Arcane link
the Phoenix guard creates a link between herself and the target. She then begins dragging the unit back to her. The dragged unit is incapable of attacking or moving but is invulnerable. The link steals mana from the dragged unit and gives it to the Phoenix Guard depending on the distance dragged. Movement will cause the link to be destroyed. Max range of 1200 at all levels.

Level 1) 0.1 mana drained per (whatever units WE uses to measure distance, let's call it WEmeters for now). Takes 5 seconds to be dragged to the hero
Level 2) 0.2 mana drained per WEmeter, takes 4 seconds to be dragged to the hero
Level 3) 0.3 mana drained per WEmeter, takes 3 seconds to be dragged to the hero
Level 4) 0.4 mana drained per WEmeter, takes 2 seconds to be dragged to the hero


So basically it drains mana depending on distance, it's a chanelled spell so it can be interupted. The link would be the siphon mana lightning effect.

A few requests:
GUI
Does not have to be MUI
demo map

feel free to ask questions!

Rep and credits will be given


Thanks again!
Ava
 
Should it be able to target spell immune units?

What should happen if the dragged unit is being dragged into unpathable terrain (like a cliff or rock)?
 
I would love to make it (or at least try to :))

but could you accept vJass? since not only that I almost completely forgot GUI, but also it would be pain in the ass to make it GUI...

all you have to do is copy the code into trigger editor and you're done

but do you have NewGen?

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.

    The latest news feed looks good
