1. Mana Burn... why can someone with manaburn not cast it on someone else that has Mana burn too? Is there a way to fix it?
2. is there a way to fix it when player controled heros are not able to move for a while. Either until they die or choose a different icon? What is the problem that causes this phemonina?
3. What is the deal with invis? perma invis is cheap and 2 invis items makesperma invis item? (Not very important)
4. what is hacking? In a few games... peeps start to say "Oh this game is hacked"
5. If ingame there is a set amount of gold that goes to players per second, is there a way that when one player leaves, the other players get the difference, as well as the gold that player had in his inventory? and How if u know it can be done.
Thanks =)

1. Cannot be fixed, that is, without triggers and spell editing.

2. Unselect it, then reselect it. only solution.

3. wtf do you mean?

4. usually those peopel are poor loosers, saying "they arecheating" basicly. dont ever put anyhing into it

5. quite a few triggers, il lpost em in themorning, or tommorow.

For 2., I think people should have learned this by now, that when this happens, click something else fast, then reselect your hero.
makesperma = What?
The 4th would mostly be people who just are bad losers. Sometimes, though, there is one or more in the game using hacks. This could be increasing gold/lumber/food limit and visability, as well as build time.
This is mostly reported to blizzard for an investigation and the user who is accused of hacks, if found guilty, will be CD-key-banned from B.net.

For the last one, I don't know exactly how to do it. Well the variable isn't hard, but the gold the player has... It's kind of easy but I don't know the exact trigger.

Thanks a bunch guys. I was hoping there was triggers to fix all of these... the perma invis thing was something just mentioned to me and was checking it out. If u guys know where to find or know how to make a trigger for the Mana Burn I would love it. Ill be exploring it with my very limited knowlege of triggers to see if I can figure it out and if I do ill post it =)

I really do wish you would stop handing out bad information. You can not change this in spell editing, as it is hardcoded in game.dll. If you got skywing from cc over here, then you could prolly do it, but intill then, your screwed.

Ok I bypassed that problem but modifying Finger of death to balance out with Mana Burn. Via damage vs loss of mana and mana cost. This creats a new problem. I need a demon hunter that when he morphs is able to cast Finger of death. I canged the morphed Illidan to have FoDeath, as does the original hero who morphs into Illidan. Yet the icon doesnt show up. Can this be taken care of by comparison triggers? If yes, then how. Thanks for clarifying that specter.

Hmm, there could be something blocking the icon. (Just my thoughts, don't take my word for it)

the ablility's of morphed demon hunters are hardcoded in a game dll I think and is therefore unchangeable, unless somewon knows more on this? though changing NightElfUnitData.txt might do it...
