Reversed Life Drain

Is there a way to create a Life drain ability that gives life from the casting unit to a target friendly units without the use of triggers or anything like that?

i have done negatic values and changed the targets allowed to friendly, but when i try to use it on one of my units it says can only target enemies, and when i try to use it on an enemy it says cannot target enemies, any suggestions?

Life drain can give life if you set it so in game constants,
but that approach sometimes bug's out (Most common bug in ENFO maps)

So I suggest you make a triggered life drain,
like the one that can be found here

Then i guess i just have to do a new spell for my unit cause we would not be allowed to change gameplay constants or do any triggering... :(

melee maps *sigh*

Just give your unit that auto-cast heal the priests have,
it does basically the same thing as life transfer. (almost)

But it has to be a good spell, not some crap copy like the healing one. Thx for your help anyway!! :)

Drain spells have weird hard coded targeting that screws up on allies. Triggering it shouldn't be difficult.
