Spell Help

Hiya! Im trying to make a spell where the Hero enters a channel state, and for each second it channels, it looses health, but when "released" basically canceling the channeling, it releases a massive attack based on how much health he lost during the channeling, like a shockwave or just plain aoe around him. The first part is easy, but the "releasing" (canceling) bit is a bit too complicated for me!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Make a trigger and turn it on while channeling so if unit targets a point, make the channeling stop and deal the damage.

You mean when the player right-clicks?

Try these triggers:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Channel
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 003 <gen>

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of Caster to ((Life of Caster) - 50.00)
    • Set ChargeDamage = (ChargeDamage + 50.00)

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Ordered unit) Equal to Caster
  • Actions
    • <Whatever you want to happen>

@angel_island

for trigger 3, you can just use the event "A unit stops casting an ability"
and change the condition to "ability being cast == channel"

and i would change the periodic event of trigger 2 to something like 0.05 so it looks less messy (and of course make it drain only 2.5 hp per run).

What type of Variable would ChargeDamage be?

 

[MagnaGuard]

Judging by it being a number with a decimal, it's a real
