Ability's damage increase by stat.

[SpasMaster]

Hey guys. I got a little problem here. I've seen pretty much maps where a hero has an ability that says: "Damage is increased by 125% of your strength". That's an example, it can be Agility, etc..

Note: I bet it's a trigger and my skills in triggers are not the best. (Yes I can do triggers, just not good ones)

So thanks a lot. Help will be apreciated!

It's triggered, tell me exactly what ability you want and i'll design it in GUI for you when I get home tonight.

Hmm.. I wanted to see a sample and by this learn to do it myself. And btw is GUI = Jass thingy? Cause I have no idea how to work with it. I have 9 heroes on my map and I wanted to implement that type of spells to 2 or 3 of them. But ok. Let's say that I want to do that on the Storm Bolt ability.

Note: Don't even try to spent of your time if I won't be able to edit the spell after that. I mean it's name/description etc...

Here is an example ability I did really quick for you based off Storm Bolt. Whenever a unit casts Storm Bolt it will deal (40 + (20 * level of storm bolt) + 25% of strength) to the target.

• Storm Bolt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Storm Bolt
  • Actions
    • -------- Set initial ability stats --------
    • Set Base_Damage = 40.00
    • Set PerLevel_Damage = 20.00
    • Set Strength_Gain = 0.25
    • -------- Calculate damage --------
    • Set Temp_Damage = (Base_Damage + (PerLevel_Damage x (Real((Level of Storm Bolt for (Triggering unit))))))
    • Set Temp_Damage = (Temp_Damage + (Strength_Gain x (Real((Strength of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses))))))
    • -------- Deal damage --------
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing Temp_Damage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

The important thing is, you must have the RIGHT formula to begin with, your Math skills must be... good, not excellent, but good
