Question about a line in AbilityData.slk

So far I have made a spell (edited vamp aura) that is called Corrosion Aura, which steals 2/4/6 HP/second. I got the graphic to show on the enemy units, the custom button and text, but I cannot seem to get the aura to take the life away from the units. Whoever knows what this problem might be please reply asap.

Vampiric Aura's main stay is to Drain HP when you HIT, no matter how you change it, you can't make it drain HP per second

if you want something like that you should probably change around Immolation, mostly by changing the graphics it uses, via editing the txt files, since with immolation you can set how often it plays the damage sequence, you can make it hurt them faster on higher levels...... unfortunatly you wont gain any of the HP you take from them, and the damage calculation isn't percentages...

another thing is switching around healingward aura, but again, that doesnt let you gain any HP from it....

sucks that the main action of the spell can't be edited huh>?

So, basically you want that the enemy loses 2hp per second while the aura is active?
I don't think that it is possible with vampiric aura. As you see that you really can't change what the different skills do. You can pretty much just edit the amounts of damage/cooldown/range and so on.
So, I'm not 100% positive, but let's say I'm 99.9% positive that you can't make that skill to work in that way.
If you'd fool around with unholy aura and trying to give it a negative amount. That could, but, you never know.

putting Vampiric Aura in reverse is just Thornes Aura (when you get hit, they get hurt)

after messin around with it for a while, i realized some spells have alter egos, Spirit Wolf, and Water Elemental are no brainers, Thornes and Vampiric Aura, Shockwave and Carrion Swarm, theres more but i dont remember em, they have the same basic effect with edited statistics

use unholy aura, best for your purpose 9drains hp when near enemey, booya

Cookie is right. I successfuly made Unholy Aura drain HP from enemies last night. It was so cheap to stand next to a sleeping Ogre draining it of its hp :)

lol

Its really fun to make new spell... i have invented the fissure spell (it works like the druid spell in D2:LOD)
