Triggered Spell Question (%Health)

[lionheadxO]

I was wondering how you would make a spell that varies depending on how much life you have or how much life a target has. The skill I'm trying to make is: the lower your life total is, you gain +attackspeed/damage, and whenever you kill a unit you heal 40% of their max life total. You don't have to make the skill for me, but just explain how it works. But if you really want to, you can make it. I just want to learn how to make new triggers.

To do the 40% health thing.

Events
A unit dies
Condition
Action
If killing unit has the buff (whatever)

then (use arithmetic) set life of killing unit to life of killing unit + 0.40 (life of dying unit)

else





Sorry bout the mess

change it to your liking.

you mean....

• unit -set life of (killing unit) to (life of (killing unit) + 0.40 x (life of triggering unit))

 

[Avaleirra]

Ya, that's what I meant

 

[lionheadxO]

• Masamune Life
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Killing unit) has buff Masamune ) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Killing unit) to ((Life of (Killing unit)) + (0.40 x (Life of (Triggering unit))))

K so I tried recreating it, but it doesnt seem to work whether i use triggering unit or dying unit at the end at 0.4xlife of triggering unit.

 

[Nenad]

Of course it doesn't work, you're giving the killing unit 0.4x0 life xD. You need to do:

• Unit - Set life of (Killing unit) to ((Life of (Killing unit)) + (0.40 x (Max Life of (Dying unit))))

 

[lionheadxO]

OHHH wow i feel so dumb I didn't even notice that function. Thank you very much props . Anyone know how the life to damage/attackspeed works? Would I need to break it down into chunks of life? Like every 10%?

Take a look at the spell Demonic Rage. It's basically what you want, however this increases damage for a percent of health missing. So at level 3, it gives 15% of health missing as damage. It isn't done by percent. But this can be easily changed.

• Actions
  • Set TempReal = (((Max life of (Picked unit)) - (Life of (Picked unit))) x (0.05 x (Real((Level of DRAbility[1] for (Picked unit))))))

This line decides your damage bonus. Just come up with something for that line. Everything else should be find. As for the attack speed, do the same I did for my damage part.

                        • Unit - Set level of DRAbility[(Integer A)] for (Picked unit) to 1

reading through the trigger I get how everything works other than everything under the damage bonus amount. Like what is a TempDivider used for? And what does the series of functions under the "Set TempReal" function do?

 

[Ayanami]

Basically, everything TempDivider and the loop functions set the level of the dummy spells. The dummy spells are basically "Item - Damage Bonus". In that case, I made 5 different abilities of the same "Item - Damage Bonus". Then at map init, I set it as DRAbility. Each ability contains 10 levels. Level 1 all starting at 0 damage bonus. For every level of the spell, it increases the damage by 1/10/100/1000/10000. That's why there are 5 different spells. For example, the 1st spell would have a series like: 0,1,2,3,4,5... while another one could have: 0,10,20,30,40,50... With this, you can have up to 99999 damage if all levels of the dummy spells are set to 10. This prevents you from actually creating 1 "Item - Damage Bonus" spell and setting it with 99999 levels. That would cause hideous lags and extremely troublesome to do. Here's an explanation.

Let us say we want the damage bonus to be 145. So set TempReal = 145.00. Set the greatest damage bonus spell (0, 10000, 20000...) to DRAbility[2] and the weakest damage bonus spell (0, 1, 2...) to DRAbility[6]. DRAbility[1] was used as another ability, so don't mind it. You can actually use DRAbility[1] to DRAbility[5] and set the loop to from 1 to 5 instead of 2 to 6.

1st Loop
When the loop is ran the first time, TempReal is converted to an integer. Thus, 145.00 becomes 145. Easy so far. Then TempReal is divided by TempDivider, which is 10000. So it becomes 145/10000. Since it's an integer, it's rounded down to 0. Then the ability is set to TempInt + 1, in this case which becomes 1. So your DRAbility[2] will provide 0 bonus damage. Remember TempReal = 145.00 right now. TempInt is 0. So when you take TempReal - (TempInt x TempDivider) it becomes, 145.00 - (0 x 10000). So basically, it reamins 145.00. So TempReal remains 145.00 since there isn't any digit in the ten-thousands place. Then TempDivider is divided by 10, thus TempDivider becoming 1000.

2nd Loop
Since there is no digit in the thousands place either, TempReal remains as 145.00, similar to the 1st loop case. Thus DRAbility[3] is set to TempInt + 1, which is 1. DRAbility[3] provides 0 bonus damage. TempDivider is divided by 10 again, which becomes 100.

3rd Loop
When loop is ran the third time, same process occurs again. TempReal = 145.00 now. Then converted to 145. Divider is now 100, your TempInt becomes 145/100, which gives you 1, due to the round down. DRAbility[4] is now set to TempInt + 1, which is 2. So DRAbility[4] provides you with 100 bonus damage. Ok, here's where the re-setting the TempReal comes in. TempReal is currently 145.00. It is then subtracted by TempInt x TempDivider, which is (1 x 100) = 100. Thus, you are left with (145.00 - 100.00) = 45.00. Now, TempReal = 45.00. TempDivider is divided by 10 again, which becomes 10.

4th Loop
Loop is ran for the fourth time. Same process occurs again. TempReal = 45.00 now. Then converted to 45. Divider is now 10, your TempInt becomes 45/10, which gives you 4, due to the round down. DRAbility[5] is now set to TempInt + 1, which is 5. So DRAbility[5] provides you with 40 bonus damage. TempReal becomes (45.00 - (4 x 10)) = 5.00. TempDivider is divided by 10 again, which becomes 1.

5th Loop
Loop is ran for the fifth time. Same process occurs again. TempReal = 5.00 now. Then converted to 5. Divider is now 1, your TempInt becomes 5/1, which is 5. DRAbility[6] is now set to TempInt + 1, which is 6. So DRAbility[6] provides you with 5 bonus damage.

In total, this amounts up to 145 damage. Hope you understood this.

After reading it again, I think I do get how it works. Am I going to need this system for the attack speed bonus also?

 

[Lifee]

i guess you are trying to combine 2 spells from dota in 1 aren't you?

 

[lionheadxO]

Yeah basically. The passive abilities synergize very well together. My hero is also almost complete actually. I just need to finish this ability and an execute ability and he will be finished.

Yes, you need this for the attack speed bonus too.
