Castable Critical Strike

[jhnam95]

I'm looking to make an ability where if you use it, you deal 2/3/4/5x of the unit's damage. I tried using Frost Arrows with GDD like I would for autocast spells that add damage like DotA's Glaives of Wisdom or Impetus. I can't just use the unit's base damage + unit's main stat since it might have items that give it bonus damage rather than just stats.

Any suggestions?

• Set SomeVar = ((Intelligence of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)) x YourDamage)

This?

 

[jhnam95]

That's what I said DOESN'T work. It doesn't include the bonus damage from items. So no... not that.

What about this approach didn't work?

i think op wants to deal 2x base damage of a unit, not including bonuses (i could be wrong). as far as i know, the only way is to track bonuses a unit gain, then determine the base damage of a unit with a damage detection system + armor utils.

Say the hero had 25 base damage and 50 agility. With the triggered crit using that method, if it was 2x, then it would deal (25 + 50) x 2 damage, resulting 150 damage.. However, if the hero had a Claws of Attack +9 and it attacked, it would deal 159 instead of 168 since the 9 damage isn't included in the trigger.

so you want to include item bonus? gdd frost arrow method should work.

Tried it already. Didn't work. D:

Do a generic unit damage and just deal the damage amount if the chance is right.

Tried it already. Didn't work. D:

And as I asked already, what about it didn't work? What did you try, exactly?

It does work. Frost Arrow basically deals your normal attack damage.

Damage Taken* Intelligence of Triggering Unit

Hmm... Here's the trigger for it. The spell also slows the unit and lowers its armor. It's not doing that either. The trigger isn't firing at all. It might cause a multicrit, but I'm not really concerned about that right now.

The buff dosnt match.

It dosnt get removed or does any additional damage? the buff in your ability isnt the one on your conditions

 

[Weep]

The trigger isn't firing at all.

It should be GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00, not GDD_Damage.

You might want to deal attack type Chaos and damage type Universal, since GDD_Damage will have already been mitigated by armor and armor type.
