How to Remove Shadowstrike Damage Amount Text

Dougletron · Aug 25, 2008

Is there any possible way to remove the numbers/text that shows from the damage done by the ability Shadowstrike?

-Berz- · Aug 25, 2008

You can't. You can make a custom one, by triggering. Its not that hard to make it.

I think he doesn't want to get the targeted unit silenced, or do you?

Spell
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Cudtom Shadow Strike
- Actions
  - Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
  - Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
  - Wait until ((Target has buff Shadow Strike (custom) ) Equal to True), checking every 0.25 seconds
  - Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing (50.00 x (Real((Level of Custom Shadow Strike for Caster)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Wait 3.00 game-time seconds
      - Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing (15.00 x (Real((Level of Custom Shadow Strike for Caster)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Here your own custom Shadow Strike.

And here is a map if you don't know how to do that and on what ability/buff is based on.

You might want to local the Target.

Rui · Aug 25, 2008

You should actually local both. If another hero casts the spell, the first target will be receiving damage from the wrong caster.

Huurka · Aug 25, 2008

GUI can only handle one local and triggering unit is a local already.

Rui · Aug 25, 2008

Didn't notice he was using Triggering Unit.
I didn't know GUI could only use one local. Thank god for JASS

Huurka · Aug 25, 2008

However you can just convert it to JASS and add the local there. Easy as pie.

-Berz- · Aug 25, 2008

I don't know Jass and let me hear it from him if it works for him.

Well that would be perfect if i wanted to make a spell exactly like shadowstrike without the damage scrolling text, but what i wanted to do was just use shadowstrike for its initial damage, as a dumby spell. I don't want the scrolling text because there is a +spell damage bonus stat in my map and i am making the damage amount scroll up with a trigger but this amount scrolling up will change as the hero/class acquires more +spell damage gear. I guess ill have to find a better damage only dumby spell. Please note, if i use fireball with .01 stun if the target is channelling a spells it will be canceled and i dont want that. So what im looking for is a spell i can use with missile art that can be configured to do damage when the missile hits and only damage, no other effects silence stun etc.

Why dnt u jus edit Unholy Frenzy? Change missile art to shadow strike and the dps to the amount u wn. thn jus use a simple trigger like tis:

-events-
a unit starts the effect of an ability
-conditions-
ability being cast equals to <shadow strike>
-actions-
cause casting unit to damage target unit of ability being cast equals to 100 magic damage

-end of trigger-
