A simple spell.

Which I am too noob to do and I need the help from guys here, how do I create a starfall kind spell, where targets do not take damage but instead, negative armor bonus, which stacks, so when they get hit twice by a -0.5 armor they get -1 armor.

and btww what is JASS

All you need is make a spell from fearie fire or acid bomb bcoz they reduce enemie's armor. Make it 10 level for example. Each level has -0.5 increment to armor.

Then, create dummy unit and give it this ability.

Make the main spell based on starfall and you can make trigger so:

Events:
Every 1 second

Condition:
IsChannel = true

Actions:
Set counter = counter + 1
Pick nearby enemy units around the caster:
Create Dummy unit
Set Level of NegativeArmor to counter
Add 1 second expiration timer to last created unit
Order last created unit to cast NegativeArmor to picked unit

All the bold typed are the variables that you must created.

Then, make another trigger that set the IsChannel = true if the caster cast the ability and IsChannel = false if the caster stop channeling. Don't forget to set counter=0 when the caster start channeling.


JASS is script language that behind most of all warcraft 3 stuffs, including trigger. So, trigger is actually JASS, but with friendly GUI so it make people easier to use them.

variables?

Yeah.. variable. Go on trigger editor, find the button on top toolbar that has big yellow X letter on it. click it, and you can make global variables there. Variable is used to store some data during trigger execution like triggered spell.
