need help with making cars run on mana

[speedy]

hey guys

I was wondering if you could help me...
what i want to do is have cars e.g a demolisher with a diff name, and ive already done that, i also want to make it so the cars run on fuel (the fuel being mana)
and you can turn the engine off and on and when its off the mana stays at same lvl but the car cant move... please help me

thanks in advance to whoever can help me.

for mana you can just modify immolation, remove art model, change name, icon, and set dmg to 0

for speed, you have to set movement speed to 1 or 0 [movment speed of car] so it can't move, then when you use immolation u must make trigger that change movment speed to x and when he unactivate immolaton set movment speed to normal value, if you dont know how to trigger, tell and i will try to make such trigger

make a trigger that looks like this:

Events:
Every X seconds in game
Condtions:
none
Actions:
Set [Car Unit] mana = [Car Unit's Current Mana -1]


thats a very rough trigger for making the car lose mana but you might need to add some more details.

for it to stop:
Events:
Ability is casted
Conditions:
Ability being cast = [Engine Off]
Actions:
Pause [Triggering unit]

im still newbish, but i found a really rough way to do what your doing apples triggers are good but to have to ability turned on the real life person has to click it.it took 4 triggers..so here we go(btw i used the goblin zeppline for the transporter/car, and the footman for your unit/hero thing
[glow=red,2,300]trigger 1[/glow]
E-
C-
A-unit - set mana of Goblin Zeppline <gen> to 90.00%
wait 5 seconds
unit - set mana of Goblin Zeppline <gen> to 80.00%
wait 5 seconds
unit - set mana of Goblin Zeppline <gen> to 70.00%
wait 5 seconds
unit - set mana of Goblin Zeppline <gen> to 60.00%
wait 5 seconds
unit - set mana of Goblin Zeppline <gen> to 50.00%
wait 5 seconds
and so on to 0%

[glow=red,2,300]TRIGGER 2[/glow]
E-map initialization
C-
A-unit - set mana of goblin zeppline to 100.00%

[glow=red,2,300]TRIGGER 3[/glow]
E-unit - footman is loaded into a arship
C-
A-trigger - add to TRIGGER 1 <gen> the event (Time - every 5.00 seconds of game time)
Trigger - turn on TRIGGER 1

[glow=red,2,300]Trigger 4[/glow]
E-unit - goblin zepplin starts the effect of an ability
C- ability being cast equal to unload (airstransports)
A- trigger - turn off tr1 <gen>
