negative damage help

For my Beachhead map, I have created several custom heros, One of which is intended to be a healing hero.
I created a number of spells for him, Eye for Eye, life-drain with a name-change, Frozen Lifeforce, a custom blizzard, Earth's Aura, a custom essence of blight and Lifewalk, a custom stampede.

Eye for Eye and Earth's Aura work fine, but my problem is the other abilities. To make them healing abilities, I changed the Targets allowed so that enemies is gone and added friends. I also changed the damage to negative damage.

I have tested the map many times but the abilities refuse to work. My custom blizzard does nothing to enemies or friends and my lifewalk cause the graphic I set for target (Heal) when it hits one of my units, but no healing occurs.

Please help!

Well i found that certain effects occur depending on what type of effect they are.I think healing is a target effect so maybe if u choose the model from there and put it in target it will work. You might also have to assign the attachment point i usually put it in the attachment point origin.When i was working I also found that when i attempt to change just one thing about the targets it sometimes completely messes up.For this ability try putting only friend in the targets. It worked for me tho with a few sacrifices.Try it and reply here.

Okay, one, have you turned on negative valvues in game constants?

Anyway... Use triggers for the aura then. First store the level of the spell in a variable, call it whatever you want. Now, depeding on level, when someone comes in X range of your hero, apply a special effect (Or do not) and begin the "healing" effect, healing hitpoints any way you want. Now, put the Unit comes within range in another trigger and take the same valvue you had for the first trigger, where the aura goes on, and in this trigger, take it off/remove the effect.

Thx for the aura tip, the system im using right now wroks but yours would work much better.

I have altered world editor preferences to allow negative values. Where exactly is the field in game constants + whats it called as their names confuse me greatly.
