[General] Adding Armor bonus to basic attack

[Nain910]

Is there anyway to create a trigger or skill that apply the bonus armor or the armor as a bonus to a hero's attack? Does someone already tried? (Something like, level 1 add 20% of the armor as attack bonus level 2 add 40% of the armor as attack bonus etc...)

Here's a very basic way of doing what you described, It's setup so that it will work for multiple units. If you will only have a single Hero with this ability then I recommend scrapping all of the Unit Group stuff and instead reference the Hero directly.

Setup the ability:

• Learn Armor Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Armor Ability (Learn)
    • (Learned skill level) Equal to 1
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to ArmorGroup
    • Unit - Add Armor Ability (Damage) to (Triggering unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on Armor Ability <gen>

Update attack damage:

• Armor Ability
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ArmorGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set VariableSet Armor = (Armor of (Picked unit))
            • Set VariableSet Multiplier = (0.20 x (Real((Level of Armor Ability (Learn) for (Picked unit)))))
            • Set VariableSet Result = (Armor x Multiplier)
            • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Picked unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: Armor Ability (Damage))'s Integer Level Field: Attack Bonus ('Iatt') of Level: 0 to (Integer(Result))
            • Unit - Increase level of Armor Ability (Damage) for (Picked unit)
            • Unit - Decrease level of Armor Ability (Damage) for (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions

This uses the Item Damage Bonus ability to add the attack damage. The increase level/decrease level actions are weird but necessary as they "refresh" the ability causing it's stats to update immediately. Warcraft 3 is a mess
