Spell problem here....

I'm making a custom hero with the spell snack time where he takes hp from a friendly unit and gives it to his own. I edited Death Pact for this. But I can only cast it on friendly undead units. Anyone knows how to solve this? ^_^

Change the Stats- Targets Allowed tab.
But it's far easier to make a custom spell based off of Life Drain that lasts 1 second.

Changing the targets won't help; it can only target friendly undead units, sadly. I agree that you should instead modify Life Drain. You can remove the "lightning" art if you so wish.

This is only a guess, but I think there is an item that has the deathpact ability; perhaps that ability can also target alive units (because an item can be used by anyone, not just undead heroes... perhaps that item is from the orc campaign, where there are no friendly undead units at all). But, I'm just guessing here.

I believe what you're reffering tp is the "Steal" ability from the Wand of Mana stealing. It works exactly like deathpact/darkritual if you change it to a unit ability, and it can target non-undead.

Ah yes. Make sure to change the "leave target alive" tab to 'yes', and it should nip off health points without killing.

Thanx for your help. It's working perfectly.
