[Spell] Abilities with triggers

[lachferagh]

Hi all,
After fiddling around with custom abilities, I thought I'd like to try making abilities through the triggers.

For my first idea, I'd like to try create the Defend ability but instead of just reducing damage from piercing attack, I'd like to make the user take reduced damage from all sources and increase his armour. How do I go about doing that?

Is there a link to where I can read up on using triggers for abilities?

You could add armor from the item armor bonus ability to it when using defend and remove that ability on undefend.

• Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
• (Issued order) Equal to (Order(defend))
• (Issued order) Equal to (Order(undefend))

why u make it so hard? u can use berserk ability to decrease damage taken from all sources

and if u want to learn about triggers check this:

Just to expand on masih_julius's post:

But in future if you wish to tackle with "Damage" and manipulating it I would recommend Bribe's Damage Engine.
(it may look crazy difficult but just try the test map and see how simple the triggers are.)

Use the spiked Armor ability from the anubarak hero (Passiv)
Modifie it

1.00 = 100% taken damage also normal
0.50 = 50% taken damage

also you can go in the + values

2.00 = 200% taken damage

and for magic Reduction use

Runed Bracers

Damage Engine should be not used for simple things it should be used for whole systems to modifie Evrything

or for better damage events

that’s my opinion as a newbie you can avoid this things

Check this I did a example map on this thread two months ago
