Action: Damage Trigger Unit For #?

Is there an action (I can't find one) or way, to deal an amount of damage to a triggering unit?

Look for this trigger after the official release of 1.17:

New triggers:
Special Effect - Create Lightning
Special Effect - Destroy Lightning
Special Effect - Move Lightning
Special Effect - Color Lightning
Unit - Drop Item on Point
Unit - Drop Item on Target
Unit - Drop Item in Slot
Unit - Damage Unit
Unit - Damage Point
Unit - Decrease Ability Level
Unit - Increase Ability Level
Unit - Set Ability Level
Unit - Inventory Capacity
Event Response - Damage Source
GetAbilityEffect (returns a filepath)
GetAbilitySound (returns a filepath)

There are other ways to do damage to a unit, but if you can wait for the update it would probably make things easier.

if you cant wait, then try this


Events
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - # of damage)

should work ;) ^_^

What function is: - # of damage

All I can get is Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to (Life of (Triggering unit))\ :/ ...

For the second portion, do "arithmitic" which allows you to do +-/* with two values

closest I could get is: Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((1.00 + 0.00) - 30.00)
where is the current life function? That I can arthimetically damage lol.

Got it! Thanx for the help! :D

that will kill the unit without giving credit to the player that is casting the ability or whatever

I think he knows.. he was just using it as a test to see if he could get the trigger right.

Yeah. Just making a spell that uses HP instead of Mana.

Also, is there anyway to make this detect levels? Or is that impossible? I.e: lose more HP as the levels get higher.

If you want it to depend on level of hero, try something like this:
Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Current life of (Triggering unit)) - ((Hero - Level of (Triggering unit) * 30)
If you want it to depend on the level of the ability you can do it as this:
Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Current life of (Triggering unit)) - ((Unit - Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit) * 30)
The first one will reduce life by level of the casting hero multiplied by 30, second the same with level of the ability!
I hope I could help

just add a variant(integer) and an action

Actions
Set Damage = [level of(hero) * Damage]
Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - # Damage)

In my example i'm multiplying. Of course you only need to change the values.

Where is level of ability being cast?? Or Triggering ability?




Also, how do add a buff to a unit in a trigger? I am trying to make a buff appear when a unit casts a spell... I made it add the ability, but that just makes the unit "have" the ability when casting the spell, not just be afflicted by it.


Also, how do you add a special effect "ability art etc" _on a triggering unit_ ?

look at a spell that shiggityshwa did

you need to make a unit and a spell though to it's called reddeath

use Hellstorm triggers
