Need help with my spell called Hiss of Death

[Marvic June B. Corpuz]

The concept of the spell is actually like Medusa's Mystic Snake, I make it as an ultimate for a hero. Only that the damage of the snake increases by 100% each jump and it jumps up 8 times, then as the snake returns to the hero, it will heal her for 30% of the total damage and mana it absorbs. I was trying to create a trigger for it but, I do not know what to do anymore for the next steps.. Is there any one there who has an MUI trigger for it? because I have searched it in the net but only found JASS triggers. I don't know anything about JASS...

I already started a trigger but I don't know how to save the total damage and make the dummy return to the hero healing 30% of the total damage and mana it absorbs. My spell apperas like Lich's Chain Frost..

You'll need two variables at least; one to store the damage dealt, and another to store the number of targets hit. Are you using hashtables, arrays or just variables?

I'm using variables as well, here's my trigger anyway but this appears like chain frost.

I know there's something wrong with this, the snake of the spell bounces not just twice to an enemy but more times if the enemy is only 2... don't know what to do anymore... I'm sorry but I'm new to the editor...

This feels like it needs to be done in JASS or at least using a few systems. As for you unit being hit multiple times create a group for each unit that has been damage and add not in this group as a condition for targeting. Your MS_Group is used for targeting but your also using that to determine life gain, use something like MS_Victims for that. If you want to calculate the exact damage dealt you'd have to use some sort of damage system.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

If you intend to make it MUI, you'll need to use unit indexing if not hashtables. Damage detection is also a must if you want to be accurate.

I'll see if I can make something up for you tomorrow. My exams will be over by then. Some more details would be helpful.
