Attribute-Skill Relationships

Krazac	Hi, im attepming to create an Everquest-based map using spells and the like from Everquest. The idea I had was to try to make spells and skills that rely on Intelligence or Strenght or Agility for their damage, duration, etc. Is there a way to do this with normal triggers? Or is something like JASS required?

AFB-DieHard	Well I think you could trigger your abilities to make this possible. For example do a blizzard spell by using the action order unit to damage area blah and base the damage off the hero skills.

Vexorian	You must enhance the spells with triggers or JASS for this, it is completelly possible, I for example do that in my arena. And many people do

Ugh, well the only problem is that I have NO experiance with JASS, at all, and im not very good with triggering either.
An example of a skill im trying id like to create:
Spells using mana: Damage, spell duration and recasting delay based off of Intelligence ("Wisdom & Intelligence" for my purposes)
- WHILE-
Non-mana using skills: (such as a "Taunt" type skill, melee only) have physical skills based off of Agility ("Dexterity & Agility" for my purposes), such as:
'Taunt' - % Chance it will work based off of Agility stat, or,
the chance to hit an opponent is based off of Agility as well.
*Shrug* I may be asking too much, but I was interested to see if it was possible.

Jass is not required. You can use an ability that doesnt normaly do anything besides animation and use pick units withing range of the point where the spell is cast or use the target of the spell. Then use aritmatic and set unit life triggering to do it.
For example:

Code:

Events:
Unit - A unit begins casting an ability
Conditions:
Ability Comparison - If ability is equal to "ability name"
Actions:
Unit - Set life of (target unit of ability) equal to life of (target unit of ability) - (("damage wanted" x level of ability being cast) + "hero atribute")

I would be more specific and everything but I dont have the WE on this CPU sorry... But anyway I hope this helps.

(By the way... Im not saying Jass is not helpful at this... You cant use the normal trigger way for multiple wave spells like blizzard... or at least as far as i know you can't)

Krazac	Oh my god... yes, that DOES help. I'll try to experiment with that. Thanks a bunch!
