Help making a spell

[bessomi]

Hello.

I am working on a spell for the contest and i really need help.

I had in my mind an idea, but when i wanted to put that idea into work things got complicated. Everything became allot harder then i imagined.
So here is what i want, i want the target unit of ability being cast to lose 1% of his max health each 0.2 second.

I SERIOUSLY tried this.
I thought i had this figgured out but i was wrong, please help me with this, i am pretty sure that i can figgure the rest out if you just get me started.

Thanks in return

I do not think we are allowed to help with spells for the contest, sorry.

This is crude, since im rusty, but it should work

spell

why not just use unholy aura with a negative effect on enemy units? :thup:

K, set the target of ability being cast to a unit variable array with 999 maximum array or something in one trigger, then in a second trigger have a periodic event that, for each integer A from 1 to 999, damages (unit variable) [Integer A] by 1% of its max hp (I assume you know how, or someone else has already answered in this thread). Also, modify conditions a bit so it will lag less. This is if its mui.

 

[aredee]

if it is an aura spell, why don't you try troylowyee answer, if it is an area spell, just use ability based from lich's death and decay, it decreased hit point by percentage

 

[bessomi]

Its not an aura spell

And this is not the spell itself, its just one of the things that the spell does.
And, FireBladesX, How to make the unit lose 1% life was my question.

Its that simple, please help.

Thanks in return

Two triggers. This is not MUI.

Ability Start
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
    Actions
        Trigger - Add to Ability Damage <gen> the event (Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time)

And the trigger that deals the damage.

Ability Damage
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Percentage life of (Triggering unit)) - 1.00)%

Hope this is what you wanted! And good luck with your spell.

 

[FireBladesX]

For simply the damage, you would have to make the caster and the target a variable, eg. Decay Caster, and have Decay Caster damage Decay Target equal to ((Unit - Property: Maximum hit points of Decay Target) * (.01)) of weapon type magical and damage type normal periodically.
Sorry, I didn't quite understand the question.

 

[bessomi]

Thanks for the help but i ran into another problem
I now want the unit to get + 1% life instead of lose
So he will now get life instead of losing, the hard part is making him get a % amount

btw troyl, welcome to thehelper, you will find all the help you need right here

 

[FireBladesX]

Set a variable (Heal Target) to the Target Unit of Ability Being Cast, and then periodically:
Set the life of Heal Target equal to (((Unit - Property: Maximum hit points of Heal Target) *
(.01)) + (Unit - Property: Current life of Heal Target)).

 

[bessomi]

Thank you so much, but why didnt i think of that???

Thank you, i already gave you +rep

I really wouldn't help him.
Helping him isn't allowed because the spell he wants is for a contest.
But your choice! =S

 

[Draphoelix]

I've asked Andrew, he said if you got a problem you are able to post a thread about it. Like he said that's just a part of the spell, he is not helping him with the whole spell.

So here is what i want, i want the target unit of ability being cast to lose 1% of his max health each 0.2 second.

He's asking for pretty much the entire spell...
