2 ability ?

[RedSword]

Hi everyone, I know my question will look retard for most people here, but I did some research about how to put magical resistance (not immunity) with avatar (in this forum), so I see that It was better with metamorphosis and ruined bracer, but here's my question :

How can I put two abilities in one (Metamorphosis and Spell damage reduction in this case), which can be leveled up as any ability ?

And BTW, is there a way to change the base 25% hero damage reduction ?

Thank You in advance, and plz answer quick

You mean merge abilities? You can't do that. They have to be separate. Unless you were to trigger them with a dummy ability, I suppose.

> is there a way to change the base 25% hero damage reduction

Not that I know of. I think that automatically comes with heroes.

Detect whem Metamorphosis is cast, and add the Runed Bracer ability afterwards.

Advanced - Gameplay Constants

This will modify how you want hero spell damage reduction, but it won't change the "tooltip". To find and modify the tooltip, go into the Game Interface.

Now I know.

So I can't have spell dmg reduction and a HP/Armor boost with the same ability without any trigger ?

Meehhh searched twice, didn't find =S

Well thx, I'll try to do something with that,

thx guys for ur quick answers (and good night ^^)

That would require a trigger. No, you can't merge abilities.

 

[Sim]

Note that for best results, Runed Bracer's ability should be passive, if possible, and you add it in a spellbook and disable the spellbook afterwards.

So the icon doesn't show.

EDIT:

Unfortunately, triggers are needed.

 

[Ghan]

> So the icon doesn't show

Does it have an icon? I thought passive item abilities didn't even have icons.

 

[Sim]

If it's true, then just add it with triggers and you're done!

meehh you guys are so quick, edited my last post in consequence

It's at the top, near "File", it should be the 5th or 6th.

If it doesn't show, are you sure you do have the Frozen Throne installed and working?

 

[RedSword]

As you can see it's not there, and I have frozen throne installed with 1.21 patch. (Would that be with another war3 map editor ?)

EDIT : Another point, how can know in the Wc3WE if an ability is passive or not ?

 

[Sim]

> Another point, how can know in the Wc3WE if an ability is passive or not ?

Base it off a passive ability. If you mean that you can't find a passive ability, look for a "passive" icon. A "passive" icon is an icon with no border.

> As you can see it's not there

The name is "Combat - Damage Bonus Table - Spells"

By 6th I meant where the "Advanced" tab was, not the actual field

In truth, the Advanced tab is the 7th one, but you found it so it doesn't matter.

How thx Daxtrem, but another thing I wanna know :

The base spell dmg reduction on hero is 25%, but in editor its 70% (of damage taken, so 30%) and divine is 5 %, does that mean that divine is added to hero armor, and if yes, in which case does divine armor type is used (on which unit)?

 

[Ghan]

> does that mean that divine is added to hero armor

Divine is a completely different armor type than Hero. It's like Heavy or Fortified. So, I'm not sure what you're asking....

 

[Sim]

Seems like it is 30% now. It was 0.75 before

Divine is an armor type, exactly like the others. Difference? Increased reduction, that's all.

Units "equipped" with divine armor take only 5% of the damage dealt to them, including spells.
