I am making a RPG and I need help with my heal spells. How can I make the spell heal the player a certain amount of hit points? Without using the medic because that's not instant and you can make the medic do other things.

There are only two solutions. You probably won't like them both:
-VHP (Virtual Hit Points)
-EUD (Extended Unit Deaths)

Yea, I was afraid of that :P. Well thanks anyway I'll keep searching and testing new things.

Well, I've made a really crappy way. But it still uses medics but. It removes and creates so you don't see them that much. It sucks but best i can think of besides EUD's

You want to have your map so that when you level up, you gain more hitpoints for your heal spell?

When the player is at level set 'anyunit' deaths to one.

Then have the trigger for healing be like so:

-Current player brings at least one men to loc 'heal'
-'anyplayer' has suffered exactly 1 deaths of 'anyunit'

-Modify unit hitpoints for current player set to 'pik a %'
-preserve trigger

And when the player lvls up, add 1 death to 'anyunit' so your next trigger's level will look like:

-Current player brings at least one men to loc 'heal'
-'anyplayer' has suffered exactly 2 deaths of 'anyunit'

-Modify unit hitpoints for current player set to 'pik a %' larger than the last trigger'
-preserve trigger

Also if you wanted different locations to heal different amounts.. that should be common sense.

You know what you could also do, hide the medics under a sprite :P

So It's closest to it. And actually it can heal up to 250 points in a second

A building, perhaps? A beacon? If it's for a spell that you can cast in the middle of no where, you could use explosions. Hallucination deaths look and sound fairly harmless.

Yea, its for anywhere, anytime, providing you have enough mana. :) the hallucination deaths works.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a doodad sprite just slapped on top of it.

Create a medic and remove it after a certain amount of time.

People seriously need to stop giving long and complicated answers. A medic works fine. No pub is going to care that they see a medic. If it's healing, they know it's working.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

We cannot modify the healing energy effect and speed of medics. Or can we?
I guess not, but maybe some people know more than me :O

Nope, medic is set, 1 energy, and the speed is set, unless you change the entire game speed.

You can, I think it is P15 scarab, anywhere on map, before any units.

Seen it in 1.15.2...

You create them and remove them really fast.

8 times a in-game second isn't going to get you 250 health in 1 second, and I actually think that would heal more slowly.
