Damage?

[diamondhero5]

how do you change the damage of a hero?
its confusing

 

[waaaks!]

combat - damage

 

[PurgeandFire]

combat - damage

That's in the object editor, just so ya know.

well, the damage of the hero depends on a few things

first of all....

This game runs on a dice system, thats why you see things like 11-13 damage on a footman

Base damage: The starting damage of the unit
Number of dice: this is how many dices are rolled as an addition to the base damage
Sides per dice: This determens how many sides a dice has <a average dice in real life has 6>
Primary Attribute: like base damage this is set, only this grows as you level the attribute you set this to. This is the reason why a hero's damage goes up when he/she leveles

As i stated earlyer, warcraft III uses a dice system, meaning theres a minimun ammount of damage that can be delt, and a maximum ammount of damage that can be delt.

Now for some equations...

Base Damage + Primary Attribute + Number of dice = Minimum Damage

Base Damage + Primary Attributer + (Number of dice x Sides per dice) = Maximum Damage

pretty simple, at this point you shuld know what i mean by primary attribute (seeing that your in the editor, you must of played the read game beforehand, so you shuld know what it dose)

and as the other two stated above, these values are found in the object editor. and in a unit thats in the object editor, its under combat

For object editor: As mentioned above

For trigger or in-game editting: Use damage bonus item... Give the item to the unit as ability.... (The damage will appear as green color bonus damage thing)

You will need to change:

Combat - Attack 1 - Damage Base 22
Combat - Attack 1 - Damage Number of Dice 1
Combat - Attack 1 - Damage Sides per Die 5

Minimum Damage is:
Base + Dice

Maximum Damage is:
Base + Sides x Die

Example of a Guard Tower:
Minimum - B22 + D1 = 23
Maximum - B22 + (S5 x D1) = 27

Yes, damaging amounts are confusing unless you know the actual formula. If you don't know it or are too lazy to always do math, then use this tool called the Damage Calculator to calculate the damage you want.

damage also depends on the strenght of a hero

 

[R@i_no_Wyrm]

I thought he was talking about a units damage.
