How do you make mana only regen at night?

Moonwells only recover mana at night, but the unitbalance.slk only has a place to restict HP regeneration; not mana.

all i can say is maybe it has something to do with an abilty the moonwell has. or something in the stats. i would suggest looking more at the moonwell than that .slk. but i have no idea about anything in .slk's so maybe the moonwell is in there. i don't know. but i would suggest learning your search towards the moonwell more than searching through every unit's balance. if that makes any sense at all. i may edit this post when i think of a better way to explain myself.

I think it is the mana battery ability that makes it regen only during the night. I know other abilities that have things like that but I have no examples right now.

Apparently, Jean in Tides of Blood only recovers mana at night. Does anyone here work on that who can explain how that works?

That was incredibly unhelpful, saus.

Event: Time of Day = 6.00
Action: Set MaxManaNightHero = current mana (NightHero)

Event: NightHero casts a spell
Condition: Time of Day > 5.99
Time of Day < 18.00
Action: Set MaxManaNightHero = current mana (NightHero)

Event: Every 1 second of game time
Condition: Time of Day > 5.99
Time of Day < 18.00
Action: Set current mana (NightHero) = MaxManaNightHero

I don't know what you'd do about mana potions -- can this hero use mana potions/fountains? The third trigger there would prevent their use during the day.

Accually it is the Mana Battery ability. :)

Good luck bro.

hehe i knew it had to be an abilty. that is basically what i was trying to say up above. although i couldn't explain myself above i knew it couldn't be a stat. it was an abilty. try the mana battery thing. although i can't tell you if it is true i bet it is because it just makes sense
