Some unit or any abilities as hero abilities

this is a thread to test some of the unit's abilities etc on heros, or just edit them to make something interesting...this isn't a spam, but just to give ideas to other ppl, and do some research on u'r own :)

make a canibalize spell that eats ENEMIES, gradualy draining their HP, while recovering u'rs :)

the only thing that can posibly screw up the spell is that the targeted unit moves :))))
i'll try this one out in a few mins and post results....

Train - like the sacrifice, but more of a unit-to-unit :) like a unit that converts footmens into captains etc....

summon units - copy paste an acolyte then reset his build list to none, and pick a few units....u can actualy summon a whole army that way, but won't be able to use it until it's "built"...this is good thing for some RPG where u have to stop the "mad summoner from summoning something" :)
give out some ideas :)

the canibalize thingy doesn't work, :(
well, back to the old drawing board :))

Canabilize like Raise Dead, can only target corpses. Changing it means it won't work at all. Its wierd like that.

Set the range of Drain Life to like 150. Ta da.

i'm trying to make a chain-slow spell....
if it works, i'll post it here, and almost every spell will be able to be cast "chained" :)

and i'm not tryin to make an drain life ability, i just wanted to test if it works or not :) i think it says weird unit abilities for heros :)
damn, i wrote "some" instead of weird :) :)

Corpses are just targeted as "dead" aren't they? Would making a unit be targeted as "dead" make it able to be cannibalized?

As for summoning units, that reminds me of the beast master hero from Total Annihilation: Kingdoms. The beast master summoned certain creatures and they would defend and fight, some would build even more monsters, really neat system. Would probably work for WC3 but wouldn't look nearly as cool. (Summoned units slowly faded into existence and they were a swirly red shadow until almost completed.)

No.

well, nether dragon looks kewl when while it's built.....:))
phoenix too
