Hi. I just come up with an idea. Maybe it've been done before, maybe it hasn't.

Anyhow, If you get Berserk to -1 it'll increase received damage by - 100%, giving 100% - 100%, ( 1 - 1 ) or simply 0%.

When it comes to damage triggers, where you need to make an event for lethal attacks (damage which is > targets health) you may have to give it full HP and then with 0 seconds delay set their new value.
And through attacks that hurts more then the total health on the unit, there isn't any way to make him survive, from what I understand. Maybe by making him invurnerable or something, I don't know.

But how about making Berserk with -2 in value? That way to should receive inc damage the same value which the unit normally would be damage, but you have no risk on letting the hero die.

Have anybuddy tested this or knows any flaws with doing like this?

Why not just use Cblabla Spikes, the undead crab hero's 3rd ability?

Because it has absolute nothing to do, whatsoever with this?

 

[Manix]

Yeah I guess.. I didn't rly see your point Still missing it... xD

Negative Values absorbs damage in that case. -1.00 absorbs 100% of damage (it turns it back to HP), -2.00 absorbs 200%, -0.01 absorbs 1% of damage (ex: u supposed to take 100dmg, u get +1 HP instead and the damage done is -1).

my maps use that to lower the amount of triggers needed when absorbing damage is necessary

It doesn't seem to work any longer

When I set -2 the damage is still 0.000.

 

[NullCurrent]

Did you hold shift and set the preference to allow negative values?

 

[Rainther]

Now you've missunderstood me. I set it to -2 through the use of shift, but according to my trigger the damage I receive is 0.000 and not -(normal damage)

But according to the unit you're testing, is the health going up?

 

[Rainther]

Tried now, and it doesn't even heal. =( anyone else who gets it's working? Read somewhere they fixed negative damage in patch... Can't I even do negative damage to heal then?

 

[Rainther]

Bump. Anyone?

negative damage works for some spells.. i have a negative blizzard for healing.

i tested negative value for damage taken and the caster's health does not go UP or DOWN.

 

[Rainther]

Bummer, I've build my triggers to adjust to negative damage through Berserk.

 

[TheCrystal]

Blame Blizzard. It's ALWAYS their fault. Always. No matter what. They don't need those GameConstants, it should be on the ability. Plus, why did they fix negative damage anyways (on the unit itself)? Or unallying yourself? Sigh.

 

[Rainther]

For shits and giggles? :?

 

[13lade619]

Plus, why did they fix negative damage anyways
