Spell resistance peculiarity

[dd_mn]

I dont know, it is probably known feature but if "Spell resistance" ability's parameter is set to number greater than 1.0, unit with this ability is healed being damaged by spells (cleave works as spell too).
For example - unit with spell resistance value 2.0 being damaged by lightning spell for 100 dmg will be healed by 100 hp instead.

1.0 resistance = 100% reduction. Amounts above that turn negative.

Yes, it is evident, but some of wc3 modders had troubles with this ability (so had I)

This was discovered several months ago.
looking_for_help made a damage detection/modification system based on this that uses it to differentiate spell damage from other kinds.

I supposed that "cleave" ability did the damage of same type as damaging unit had, not of the "spell" type.
