Also, for further reference. If you right click at the begining of the trigger and choose copy as text.
You can then paste it here inside wc3 tags

Example:

Your trigger

Don't forget to remove the . :)

Eh still not working....
 
uhmmmm you are triggering it to deal damage and then reverse the damage dealt...
 
What you are looking for is the "targeted unit of ability being cast" and not "targeted unit" nor "target unit of issued order".
 
Uhh the 2nd action says to deal damage to the triggering unit.... I'm trying to make it so it heals the triggering unit also.

Btw I just tried "targeted unit of ability bieng cast" but still no go....
I do appreciate the help tho

EDIT: NEVERMIND it just worked :D
Thanks alot man
 
use
Trigger:
  • unit -Set life of (triggering unit) to ((((life of (triggering unit)) +((Real((Strength of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))))
instood of
Trigger:
  • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target Unit Of Issued Order), dealing ((Real((Strength of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))) x -1.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

it`s more realiable.
 
No, it's not. It doesn't account for resistances, and it also doesn't allow the use of any triggers using the event 'a unit dies' and conditions using 'killing unit'.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
