[Trigger] Help with spell (Power Word: Shield) like spell

[mata_bun]

So I want a spell that will absorb a set amount of damage or until the spell dies in 10 seconds. The base ability I used was frost armor (0 armor bonus, 10 second armor duration) and from there I used a trigger. I'm pretty new to triggers, and I was hoping someone could help me w/ this...

It's called Ghostshell. When I tried it in game it didn't absorb any damage, at all. Right now the damage absorbed is set to 30. Help!

Oh

If anyone just has another trigger that will be like Power Word : Shield I'll gladly just take that

I don't know what you want for

• Conditions
• Greater than or equal to 30.00

I make a example for you , hope that it can help you ...
Well , it is not perfectly work , since I'm also not so pro in triggering...
Before that i had to tell you that , damage taken only work in
"<Specified Unit taken damages> Event."

The example i make for you need 2 trigger to function this spell.
The 1st 1 is to add target of ability being cast in to "Specified Unit"
of the event of the second trigger.

The second trigger is to heal the unit take took damages . (Oh well , this trigger heal the unit not only the unit attacked but also damages by spell , don't know you want it or not ....)

First Trigger

• Ghost Shell Active
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Frost Armor
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Ghost Shell <gen> the event (Unit - (Target unit of ability being cast) Takes damage)

Second Trigger

• Ghost Shell
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Frost Armor) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to (Max life of (Triggering unit))
        • ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + ((Damage taken) x 2.00)) Less than or equal to (Max life of (Triggering unit))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + ((Damage taken) x 2.00))
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to (Max life of (Triggering unit))

The problems is ....
The unit cannot recover to full life , I wonder why ...
Need Proz to help us XD

you should base the ability on Anti-Magic Shell.

 

[fattyghost]

Anti-mage shield?
Doesn't is just absorb magic damages?

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah and you trigger the physical damage...... -.-

 

[fattyghost]

Then nothing different by using frost armor and with anti-mage shield isn't it?

 

[Just_Spectating]

anti-magic shield has a shield life that will go away once it takes that much damage. you can also base this on mana shield (but it will suck away your mana so eh )

 

[PurplePoot]

J_S, that will just interfere with coding for physical damage.

Sorry about the trigger i post before .
I found a bug of that spell , the amount of healing will increase with the time you cast the shield on the same unit . I mean , for example , you cast 4 times shield on the unit , it will heal 4 time the damage taken ...
I had fixed it by replacing 1st trigger with this ... :

• Ghost Shell Active
• Events
• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to Frost Armor
• Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ((Target unit of ability being cast) is in Ghost_Shield) Equal to False
  • Then - Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Ghost Shell <gen> the event (Unit - (Target unit of ability being cast) Takes damage)
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to Ghost_Shield
  • Else - Actions
    • Do nothing

I fixed it by create a unit group , if the unit is in unit group , it will never being added as specific unit in the second trigger.
Whenever the unit is being cast with ghost shield , it will never be removed from the unit group . However , since the healing effect had a condition "((Triggering unit) has buff Frost Armor) Equal to True"
So , it is okay to let the unit in the unit group
