[Spell] A Simple Fireball ability that scale with Int

[Griffith]

I really want a simple ability but i don't know to make it scale with INT of the hero? Like it's a normal fireball ability that damages and stuns but also deals bonus damage based on the hero INT, Any help?

With reforged you can use the new natives that fortunately work

You'll need to adapt the "level: 0" part if it's an hero ability, and I can't remember if level 0 = level 1 ingame in this case

i dont have reforged unfortunately

Since version 1.31, those functions exist and work (regardless if you actually have Reforged).
For earlier version, I'd use DamageEngine to detect and modify damage or have a dummy cast the spell and trigger the damage.

Or use ujapi that gives you many features of reforged & more, downside your map will only work in ujapi.

UjAPI - Unryze Jass API

Warning! This only works with Warcraft 3 TFT patch 1.24e/1.26a/1.27a/1.27b/1.28f! UjAPI is a project dedicated to enhance warcraft 3 Map Making API with new features/natives and World Editor modification to support new natives/constants. Additionally, UjAPI fixes a lot of vanilla bugs/errors...

I know i could test it myself (bit too lazy right now), but does that mean we're able to display the result of such calculations?

In the tooltip you mean? I don't know, I never use the <DataXYZ> things Blizzard makes, because I can never make them work Would be cool though, but I doubt it

So, you can only set tooltip for an ability, meaning that all characters with that ability have the same tooltip.
For my hero-map this is not a problem (can only be 1 of that hero).

I don't really have a reason for keeping this in GUI as it has become more and more jass over time, but this is one way of doing it.

    • Custom script: set udg_temp_string=udg_temp_string + "%).|nWhile invisible, damage is increased to " + R2I2S(dmgTotH * HH_SHURIKEN_INVIS_BONUS) + " (+" + R2I2Sx100(HH_SHURIKEN_INVIS_BONUS - 1.0) + "%) for the Shadow Dancer."
    • Custom script: set udg_temp_string=udg_temp_string + "|nShurikens remain for " + R2I2S(HH_SHURIKEN_DECAY_TIME) + " seconds before decaying.|n|nCooldown: "
    • Set temp_real1 = (Ability Cooldown of hh_hero for ability Shuriken (HH, channel, Target point), Level: ((Level of Shuriken (HH, channel, Target point) for hh_hero) - 1))
    • Custom script: set udg_temp_string=udg_temp_string + R2SW(udg_temp_real1,0,2)+" Seconds."
    • Ability - Set Extended Tooltip of Shuriken (HH, channel, Target point) to temp_string for level 0

Basically what happens is that I put whatever I want in a "temp_string" variable, then put that for my ability.
This displays the actual damages and cooldown (because I have cooldown reduction).

If you "only" do X% of intelligence, it will be way simpler, but at least you can see how you can do it.

NOTE: I only set tooltip for level 0. For this to work, you must only have "Level 1 - Text - Tooltip - Normal - Extended" set and all other levels must be blank. Otherwise, you'll need to set it to levelOfAbility - 1.
