help with spell

[bio-zombie]

hello, i want to make several spells:

1. i want to make a spell that's like shadow strike, but i want the decay damage different every second. Also i want the damage display on the top of the target.

2. i want to make a spell that a unit will lose life and mana when they walk and it stop when they stop walking.

3. i also want to make a spell that when the hero is hurt, the nearby unit will push away.

any help is appreciated

1. Go the the Object Editor, click on the Abilities tab and find Shadow Strike under Night Elf > Hero(or use CMD-F(find)) to find it.

2. Would require a trigger I can't do off the top of my head and I don't have WE access right now.

3. Would require a trigger I can't do off the top of my head and I don't have WE access right now.

1. i know that, but i want to make a trigger that the decay damage is different every second.

ex: shadow strike does damage like 30, 30, 30, 30, 30... for decay damage, but i want to make the decay damage is within a range of numbers, so it deals like 7, 30, 45, 90, 8...

hope i make myself more clear about this spell.

So every second you want it to deal a random amount of damage between 0-100 or something?

Create a spell that has the correct mana costs, cooldown and art but nothing else. Also create a timer variable called RepTimer, a integer variable called damage and a unit variable called Target.

Heres the triggers:

Events: Unit begins the effect of an ability
Conditions: Ability being cast is equal too shadowstrike
Actions: Set target = targeted unit
Start RepTimer as a repeating timer that will expire in 3 seconds.

Events: RepTimer expires
Set damage = random int from 0-100
Deal damage to target
Creat floating text Convert interger damage to string above target

Obviously thats very rough as I can't access WE and I don't use those triggers much but you should get the idea. I'll try and have a look at your other abilities.

Umm... triggers 1) contibute to lag sometimes, and 2) may sometimes be un neccisary. For your first one use Shadow Strike (edit it first).
