Ok, the problem is in the damage being done with this ability (and I'm just making sure that it will properly level). The rest works fine, but for some reason the damage seemingly accumulates on the targets; just simply does dramatically more damage than it should, sometimes just one hitting all heroes. How can I properly apply or fix the damage with this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

-Credit to CokeMonkey11 for writing the ability.

Im guessing cause your doing ~85 dmg every 0.03 seconds :O

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

LOL, =p. Any idea what I could change the event to?

 

[DBZ-123]

You Say it does too much dmg when casted how much does it do then?

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

No exact amount it varies largely, but it's still much larger than the specified.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

1: Are you sure deafening blast is the name of the buff that blast's silence spell gives?

2: Have you tried using triggers to force picked unit to receive the buff?

3: Have you tried using a unit group to bypass the ignorance of the conditional statement?

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

1. Positive.

2. Yes.

3. Didn't completely understand this option, how exactly would it work? Meaning, how exactly would you apply the unit damaged to the unit groups, etc.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

(08:05:17 PM) Blake: my idea was to add the unit to a global unit group
(08:05:19 PM) ...: it takes a vast amount of damage, that's for sure
(08:05:33 PM) Blake: and replace said condition with one which requires units to not be in the group
(08:05:50 PM) Blake: result: unit is damaged once, then added to group
(08:05:55 PM) Blake: and when it loops again in .03 seconds
(08:06:00 PM) Blake: its in the group so it doesn't get damaged again

 

[Dirac]

keep the event... set the damage to 85 x 0.03

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Tried it, didn't work. =/

keep the event... set the damage to 85 x 0.03

As a decimal? How would that be incorporated into the

Set tempDamage = (5 + (80 x (Level of Deafening Blast for unitCaster)))

?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

He's asking you to change 85 to 3% of 85, but that won't work because this needs to damage once, not 85 damage per second.

Can you post the code that you tried using the unit group thing here?

 

[XeNiM666]

1. why are you using integers? you dont like reals??? (nvm)
Use Cokemonkey11's solution..

When the unit has been damaged, add them to a group:

• Unit - Cause Blast to damage (Picked unit), dealing (Real(tempDamage)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Damaged

then set your condition from:

• ((Picked unit) has buff Deafening Blast ) Equal to False

to:

• ((Picked unit) is in Damaged) Equal to False

A unit can't have half a hit point

I also tried moving it to where/how XeNiM suggested, still didn't work.

EDIT: Nvm, took out the custom script to remove the new unit group and now it works, woo, thanks all. I had to move it below where the unit takes damage though, why is that? Isn't it still the same "Picked unit" even before the If/Then/Else?

 

[ImmortaL_GoD]

Ok, I'm back as I'm having some issues: a) Sometimes the ability seems to do damage and others not, or only to some units. =/

b) It's not showing the buff and animation still (yellow ! over their heads), ever, and doesn't seem to do the disable, only knockback.
