hi guys, im trying to create a spell similiar to storm bolt.

it deals damage equal to casting hero's strength but it can also miss, depending on targetunit's agility and casting hero's agility.

Example:

Targetunit's agility: 30, casting hero's agi: 20, gives a 10% chance to miss.
So basically its targetunits's agi - casting hero's agi as a percentage.

BUT!!!!!!!!

If casting hero's agility is MORE than targetunit's, it has a chance to deal critical damage!
So if casting hero's agility: 30 and targetunit's agility: 20, it has a 10% chance to deal critical damage (like twice the original damage).

is this possible, and if so, is it possible with triggers? Id appreciate some help XD

Define 'doesn't work'?

Anyway, I believe the bolded line is wrong. Should be the opposite.

Set Chance = (TrigAgi - TargAgi)

well i changed it and still doesnt work..

it doesnt deal double damage if you have more agility, even when i have 200 agility, and other hero has 100.. (chance should be 100% then).

it doesnt deal damage equal to hero strength.. ive checked damage table and set Spell to 100% damage to all armor types. my hero has 300 str and deals like 255 damage to a hero with 100 str and 100 agi.. so wtf

can somebody help me and see whats wrong with the triggers? :)

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the trigger.


Code: 
Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage TargetUnit, dealing (Real(TrigStr)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type [B]Normal[/B]

Try changing 'Normal' to 'Magic'. (I don't really have much experience in Armor reduction stuff).

NOTE!:::::

i know its lame but once i casted the ability, it will already deal damage before the projecticle hits the target, should i add a Wait command to the triggers? or add a clever Waitcondition (that i cant think of btw!)
