Vexorian	Intellect? You'll need to manually increase the damage that is and that mostly involves adding the item damage bonus ability to the hero, but you application is as such that bonusmod is the only sane way to do it.

CommanderZ	You can add "takes event" trigger to each unit and do the damage manually using triggers. It is not very difficult, but requres a lot of triggers created on the run.

If you dont care about MUI, you can do this:
have an ability with 100 levels (youll need more if you plan on increasing over 99) based off Item Attack Damage Bonus +1. Each level should go up, starting with 0 (level 1 = 0, 2 = 1, 3 = 2)
The hero starts off with this, but since level 1 is 0 it wont show anything. Every second or so, set RealInteger equal to the heros intellegence * .15 or whatever. Then set the level of damage bonus to the result + 1.

I think it would be a good idea to use Vex's advice. Bonus mod allows you to add bonuses very easily by calling only a single function. Might take a little bit of time to set it up, but it's worth it.

As for detecting when to update the bonus, I'd have a trigger that periodically goes off every second or so that checks for a change in the hero's intelligence. If there is one, adjust the damage or armor.

Auto-Fill is your answer for the Object Editor part.
Do Dill's thing but use Auto-Fill (search, if you don't know what it is).

As for triggers, every second check the % of your Hero's INT (probably should set your Hero to a Global Variable), convert that to an integer, and use that integer as the level for the +DMG ability.
-
For your armour thing, and suggest making a dummy ability that at level 1, increases armour by 0, and level 2 is +1 armour, and yeah. (Auto-Fill!)

Every second, check the % of your Hero's armour (remember, use a variable), convert that number to an integer, and use that integer as the level of your dummy +DEF ability. Then, get the dummy to cast!
-
Auto-Fill will help, especially if these bonuses are expected to be above 5 levels.

Don't forget polishings and such...

I have an active ability similar to what you need, here is the line i use to add the damage and show it:

variables used:
warmaiden = my hero
keen edge = active buff ability based on frenzy

As you can see lvl-1 = 1x agility and every level adds x.25
This trigger is activated / deactivated with other triggers

Trigger:

Keen Edge 3

Events

Unit - A unit Is attacked

Conditions

(Attacking unit) Equal to Warmaiden

Actions

Unit - Cause Warmaiden to damage (Attacked unit), dealing ((0.75 + (0.25 x (Real((Level of Keen Edge for Warmaiden))))) x (Real((Agility of Warmaiden (Include bonuses))))) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String((Integer(((0.75 + (0.25 x (Real((Level of Keen Edge for Warmaiden))))) x (Real((Agility of Warmaiden (Include bonuses))))))))) + !) above (Attacking unit) with Z offset 20.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds

Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees

What you need to do is this: make a dummy ability (i suggest an aura that works only on self) and then make the event as above and use the condition "attacking unit has buff 'your dummy aura' equal to true".
then the action i used with the values you need. Add the floating text for style reasons if you like.

Are you out of your mind? Do you even know how much that could increase loading time?

And what is this "bonusmod" and where can I find it?

Dil999	I have one spell with 100 levels, which supports all damage bonuses in my game. It does increase loading time, but it makes the map a helluva lto easier when you just say 'add Damage Bonus' Set level of 'Damage Bonus' to X + 1

05-21-2007, 08:05 PM	#11
blu_da_noob	Blade's item system has bonus mod in it: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=85909 . It basically means you only need to use log n ability for a bonus of n.
