Ability: Magic Defense / Activision-Blizzard sux

[Gnuoy]

I'm trying to make this ability reduce magic damage taken by 20% but it seems the data fields in object editor have no effect (screenshot). This ability either makes the target immune or not, there's no 33% reduction. I'm trying to make a turn on/off ability that reduces speed by 90% and reduces magic damage by 20% when it's active.

1.00 is 100%
0.33 is 33%
0.00 is 0%

What you Type in which number ?
20% Should be 0.20

Thanks for your reply.

What i'm trying to say is regardless of what you put in there, the output is 100% reduction.

This reply will speak in rough terms.

Get used to getting taken on a illogical trip by blizzard/activision. Youd think magic damage redution means you get magic damage reduction but for some reason it doesnt. The best solution to avoid most default ways how things work is to trigger the magic resistance yourself, that can be done with damage event, unit indexer and a magic resist variable array.

If damagetype = spell then set damageamt = damageamt x magic resist[custom value of unit].

There is also at least two default ways to get magic resistance. Theres the Items that give Magic Resistance, then theres the ablility called Elunes Grace which gives Magic Resistance. These two stack.

It should work based on Elune's Grace - right?

 

[Duckfarter]

Sure Elune's Grace can be used to recieve Magic Resistance, but why limit oneself to only two types of Magic Resistance when one can use damage engine and a variable array to keep track of a much more flexible Magic Resistance instead.
