Aphotic Shield (Dota Spell request)

[jarekpl12]

how to make ability like Abaddon's Aphotic Shield which stores damage up to some amount but I won't deal damage while reaching it's limit. I want to make some kind of Mana Shield but a little diferent. Mana shield will store up to some damage. Every damage point will consume point of mana. The same Mana Shield like in World of Warcraft. thx...

can u show me it in gui ? I'm a little confused what u type:/... btw I wan't to use Berserk skill for this ability and when total damage reached amount of 500 (for example) buff will disappear? It also maight be item ability so i dont think so i would learn that skill. Btw the buff lasts for 25 seconds. How to make it off when 25 sec time will be elapsed?

[jarekpl12]

Anyone know how to make Mana Shield like that with no leaks? Please... thx

 

[HydraRancher]

What? Does your trigger not work? What Happened? From my eyes it doesnt leak.

 

[jarekpl12]

somethin will be wrong when i pick - drop and again pick item?

 

[Laiev]

no....

Yes, it'll add the damage event another time so then the trigger "Mana Shield" will run twice, three times, or more, whenever the unit takes damage.

The common solution is to make a unit group, and only add a damage event if the unit is not in that group (and of course add it to that group at that point).
