How to create Triggered Spell Damage Over Time(DOT)?

[NightFelix]

Tittle. I have search around the forum and I found that some people mention using Acid Bomb. But is it possible to create a Spell that have Damage Over Time by using trigger?

Because I want to create a Damage Over Time spell that based on Hero attributes. Such like: Hurt 100 initial damage on the target and deal 3x STR damage over time to the target for 10sec.

And one more reason if I really do using the Acid Bomb to make the spell. How do I make the A Hero having the acid bomb and B Hero having another acid bomb and attack on the same target C Creep to make both acid bomb non-stack deal damage.

Do you mean like if both uses acid bomb, it should not stack?

Have a trigger run every X seconds, where X is the time between "ticks" of damage. Have it find every unit with the Effect that your ability gives for the duration, and have to do whatever periodic damage you want it to do.

If you have a whole lot of units, you could also make the game store each unit currently under the effects in a unit array, and also store how many "ticks" of the spell each of those units has in a parallel array. To keep it from stacking, have the trigger check through the array to see if the unit being affected is already on the list, and if it is, simply set the "ticks left" variable to be whatever the initial value is.

Try use this:

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Acid Bomb
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Group = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff Acid Bomb) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause Caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing (100.00 + ((Real((Strength of Caster (Include bonuses)))) x 3.00)) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Universal
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

Can I use wait 1sec of game time and deal damage and wait 1sec again and deal damage and 1sec again and again....?

Why would you want to do that?

Yes you could, but then it won't be MUI.

I think no need "every second" trigger. Use timer is better.
