Damage Modification

[Smiggs]

Hey all,

I'm new to the forums, but an old warcraft player and skin / model editor.

I am experienced in programming so i'm very familiar with different types of arrays / variables, But i'm new to using the World editor to make whole maps instead of just importing skins etc.

My question being i know for example that if i use Arthas Weilding Frostmourne that he's a Strength hero and that 1 Strength will add 1 damage, 25hp and 0.25hp regen. What i want to do is edit the base damage of the level 1 hero to be let's say 5-5, now i've noticed that their seems to be lots of options in the object editor for a hero character. For one i noticed that their is a Damage Sides per Die and Amount of Damage Die which i believe affects the hero's random max and min damage plus the Base damage of the hero.

I haven't tried it yet but i assume if my hero's starting strength is 5 then if i make the base damage 0 and the Die = 1 and the Amount of Sides on Die = 1 then i would get 5-5 if that is correct just let me know, i won't be able to get to the editor till later this evening.

If anyone could help me to figure out how exactly they work together it would be much appreciated.

the damage done in your example would be 6-6, you really must see the die as a die, so basically you have the basic damage and then you roll a one-sided die as extra damage. that would be 0 + 1 (since the die only has one side)

if you want a unit to do 20-25 damage, the base damage would be 19 + 1*(six sided die). since when you roll a die its minimum roll is one.

I hope im clear on this...

Thanks

Ok, after getting home i tested it and understand now =) Thanks alot Alexei, going to take me like a month to get this first map done lol, rpg's are long =x

So i decided my commoner to have 2-5 dmg which turned out to be 1 base dmg + 1 die * 4 sides.
