Calculate damage over time

I'm trying to create a Maim like abiltity, where an enemy unit is targeted. The targeted unit then becomes slowed and suffers damage over time. This is the damage I'm as efficiently as possible am trying to deal to the unit over time.

Level 1 - 100 damage over 10 seconds
Level 2 - 140 damage over 11 seconds
Level 3 - 180 damage over 12 seconds

How do I achieve this by the most efficient triggering possible? I've gotten this far, but by no means it's nowhere accurate in damage.

Trigger:
  • Maim
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Ability being cast) Equal to Maim
        • Then - Actions
          • Set Caster = (Casting unit)
          • Set TempTarget = (Target unit of ability being cast)
          • For each (Integer A) from 1 to (9 + ((Level of (Ability being cast) for Caster) + 1)), do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Wait 1.00 seconds
              • Unit - Cause Caster to damage TempTarget, dealing ((Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for Caster))) x 50.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Else - Actions


I might have overlooked something really basic and simple, but I simply blame it on a temporary brainfart. :p

Using a "Wait" inside an Integer A loop isn't a good idea...
You'd be much better off by using another trigger with the event "Every 1.00 seconds of game-time".

Does it need to be MUI ? (MUI = Multi-Unit-Instanceable)

Use Shadow Strike (if active) or one of the many Poison Attack abilities like Envenomed Weapons (if passive). ;)

It is active, yeah. But I don't want the annoying text showing damage over and over.

*EDIT*

Oh, and it doesn't need to be MUI.

Ok, well, your damage calculation there were way off... It dealt way too much damage.
Here's the correct one, I'd believe:

Trigger:
  • Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing ((60.00 + ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) x 40.00)) / ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) + 9.00)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal


And here are the triggers:

Trigger:
  • Maim
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Maim
    • Actions
      • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
      • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Trigger - Turn on Main DPS <gen>


This one, below, is "Initially Off":

Trigger:
  • Main DPS
    • Events
      • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing ((60.00 + ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) x 40.00)) / ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) + 9.00)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
      • Set DPS_Tick = (DPS_Tick + 1)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • DPS_Tick Equal to ((Level of Maim for Caster) + 9)
        • Then - Actions
          • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Else - Actions

@ Koma; that didn't work so well. It kept damaging the targeted unit over and over and over even after the desired amount had been dealt. I guess it has something to do with that the Integer DPS_Tick isn't set. What should it be? ;O

It's supposed to be set to 0...
Though it worked for me :S

Maybe add this to the first trigger ("Maim" I mean :D):
Trigger:
  • Set DPS_Tick = 0

check out this tutorial on the new hash tables in war3... it has an example of a heal over time spell using the hash tables... rather simple and in mui. You would then just need someone to show you how to jass out all of the leaks to complete it.

@ Murder, I'll check it out, thanks.

Your damage action there still doesn't look right...

Mine:
Trigger:
  • Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing ((60.00 + ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) x 40.00)) / ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) + 9.00)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal


Yours:
Trigger:
  • Unit - Cause Caster to damage TempTarget, dealing (60.00 + ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) x (40.00 / ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) + 9.00)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal


It needs to be int the right order, or else it won't turn out right..
Notice that I have 2 parantheses in the beginning:
Code: 
[COLOR="Red"](([/COLOR]60.00 + ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) x 40.00)) / ((Real((Level of Maim for Caster))) + 9.00))

And you only have one...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
