Ability Damage (Triggered)

[Elemental91]

So, I'm kinda new to making abilities for RPG maps and I need a basic understanding of how this is usually done.

For example, I want to create an ability that does:
A melee atk that stuns and does damage equal to (100+30*AbilityLevel)% of the units current min/max/average(idk yet) damage.

I can only get this far atm;

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Bash (Swordsman)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (100.00 + (30.00 + (Real((Level of Bash (Swordsman) for (Casting unit)))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

And this is only 100+30*Abilitylevel and not in percentages, nor (Let's say the units Bash level is 2) 100+30*2=160% of units max damage

So I'm really not sure how to go about this :/

An active spell? can't be done nicely. You have two options (easier or harder depending on how your map is made)

1) Cache the damage of the hero by saving the damages of the base hero types and each individual item in the hero's inventory

2) Use cold arrow and a DDS. When the attack is dealt, remove cold arrow buff and multiply damage

How would I do this second way with the Cold Arrow? Cause I'm not sure what you mean by that

If this doesn't pan out I'm thinking of changing it to 100+30*AbilityLevel% of the units current STR, for some reason I think this is more do-able, seeing as I've played quite a few RPG maps with abilities that use the units stats as modifiers.

If you don't understand how to use a DDS than it wont help you.

your 2nd solution is easy. Just do (1 + (0.3 * ability level)) * srength
