Specific Unit - Takes Damage Event

Didn't Attacking Unit use to work with that event?

Attacked Unit - Unit that is attacked by another
Attacking Unit - Unit that attacks another

B~L~

problem is that this is one of the dumb functions that don't allow variables ... and also don't have a list of triggering unit... entering unit ... and such stuff.

all functions in the units specific group can only be used on units that are pastet on the map from the start ...

and if you want to find the attacking unit you have to use the "unit is attacked event" not "units takes damage"

I hope I it helped you :ggani:

Dangit, I was hoping to make a life steal ability, without using the ability.

what shall it do exactly? make attacks steal life? or what?

Yes.

The reason is that Life Steal doesn't work with the Orb of Lightning(new) ability.

more detailed ... is it a hero or a unit? does it matter how much damage it does?

It's a hero which has the following ability:

Icy Rage
The Frozen Death chops at the closest enemies, draining life from each hit.
Mana cost: 75
Cooldown: 15 seconds
Level 1: Max. 3 units hit. 40% of damage healed.
Level 2: Max. 4 units hit. 45% of damage healed.
Level 3: Max. 5 units hit. 50% of damage healed.
Level 4: Max. 6 units hit. 55% of damage healed.
Level 5: Max. 7 units hit. 60% of damage healed.

Two words: Vampiric Aura.

Just add a 0 range vampiric aura with the given values using if/then functions for levels.

I believe that with the new custom buffs, the same aura can stack as long as it has a different buff, too.

Edit: Reread your post-- I'm not sure if you mean life from an ability like you do the dmg with storm bolt and steal the life with a trigger. At first glance, I thought you meant he just straight out attacks the units. So, if that was right, this should work. If not, oh well.

Use the ability used by the Vampiric Mask

i think thats why kolibri did not do this ... i don't know about an orb of lightning bug anyway emote_confused

Also never forget that orb abilities don't work with channeling abilities / no unit target abilities

Event: Unit is Attacked

Actions: Set Counter=Counter + 1
Set Attacked[Counter] = Attacked Unit

Add New Event to trigger DamageCheck: Specific Unit (Attacked)[Counter] takes damage

DamageCheck:

Actions: anything

That is sort of what I do right now, it just doesn't work very well.
