Help me with my spell Devotion (just the damage part)

[WyrmSlayer]

Ok, so i have been making a devotion spell, heres the description:
The Paladin creates a holy link on an allied unit that lasts for up to 10 seconds. The link can break once a certain distance between the target and Arthas is met, or when one of them dies. While linked, every damage that the target recieves will be transfered to Arthas. |n|n|cffffcc00Level 1|r - Max Distance of the Link is 1000 units. |n|cffffcc00Level 2|r - Max Distance of the Link is 2000 units. |n|cffffcc00Level 3|r - Max Distance of the Link is 3000 units. |n|n|cFF6667C0Cooldown|r: 130/120/90 seconds

I have already made the first 2 triggers, the MUI cast and its Loop, the only problem that i am facing is the part where when the target recieves damage and heals that damage (solved) then the damage is transfered to Arthas (not solved)

Here are the triggers:
Also i need the last part to be fully MUI

                  • Else - Actions
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

On the damage trigger i am using GDD's damage system

DevotionDamage

• Devotion Damage
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • (GDD_DamagedUnit is in DevotionTargetGroup) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Set life of GDD_DamagedUnit to ((Life of GDD_DamagedUnit) + GDD_Damage)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of GDD_DamagedUnit using Abilities\Spells\Undead\ReplenishHealth\ReplenishHealthCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

To cut it short, the part the i dont know how to do is to select the caster in the DEVOTION DAMAGE TRIGGER so that i can damage him by the amount of damage the target took, thus kinda transfering it.

- create a hashtable HASH and initialize it...
- in your DevotionMui trigger, save the caster by...

• Custom script: call SaveUnitHandle(udg_HASH,GetHandleId(GetSpellTargetUnit()), 0, GettriggerUnit())

- then in your DevotionDamage, it'll look like this...

• Custom script: local unit u = udg_GDD_DamagedUnit
• Custom script: local unit hero
• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
• Unit - Set life of GDD_DamagedUnit to ((Life of GDD_DamagedUnit) + GDD_Damage)
• Custom script: if HaveSavedHandle(udg_HASH,GetHandleId(u),0) then
• Custom script: set hero = LoadUnitHandle(udg_HASH,GetHandleId(u),0)
• Custom script: SetWidgetLife(hero,GetWidgetLife(hero)-udg_GDD_Damage)
• Custom script: endif
• Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of GDD_DamagedUnit using Abilities\Spells\Undead\ReplenishHealth\ReplenishHealthCaster.mdl
• Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
• Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
• Custom script: set u = null
• Custom script: set hero = null

suggestion: instead of SetLife, you should use Damage target

Oh yeah how to use Damage Target in custom script? or is is like the normal way?

Custom script: call SaveUnitHandle(udg_HASH,GetHandleId(GetSpellTargetUnit()), 0, GettriggerUnit()) its expecting a name =(

^NVM the call SaveUnit.... I fixxed it, turns out the trigger in Gettriggerunit should by capitalized.

 

[mckill2009]

dont double post, use the EDIT button, you can use the normal(GUI) method for damage target...
there's one problem with HT, when another caster casts the target, the previous one will be overwritten, so better save a group handle instead for the target and add the caster to it...

How do you write that down? since you now used Hashtables in locating the orignal caster?
I know its


Unit - Cause (DamageUNIt) to damage (?), dealing my damage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
what do you put in the ?

 

[mckill2009]

• Custom script: call UnitDamageTarget(udg_GDD_DamageSource,hero,udg_GDD_Damage,false,false,ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS,DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL,null)
