For those who played Herocraft games, which are good games, i have a problem from the next gen style of "herocraft" called War of the Custom Heros (i know trying to work on the name) my problem is towards the attack damage that heros do.

What i'm trying to do is, From when you buy tomes you add damage towards your hero, but i dont know how do that, i thought it didn't have anything to do with triggers, just had to use power up items, just like the tomes. but it doesnt want to do so i need to know how to add damage towards the hero you've created by using triggers.

If you need any extra info of my problem, i'll be glad to answer them

I don't have to play the map to answer your questio, which is simple.

If you want to make a Tome of Damage, add in the item ability values the damage bonus (which is used to items such as Claws of Attack) and it's ok.

course his idea didn't work. if you add the bonus damage ability to the tome that tome will be used instantly, thus the ability will be gone wit it. if you wanna add damage there are three ways i know of.

1) use the grunt's upgrade to add base damage to your hero's attack
2) add in upgrades like when used in melee games to upgrade units weapons
3) Make a trigger where the ability of the claws are added to the hero

there are other ways to make it possible as well just gotta think of it

Just write a trigger
Event: Item (unit aquires an item)
Conditions: Item (type of item being manipulated) equal to Tome of Damage
Actions:
Unit - set damage of (triggering unit) = Unit damage (triggering unit + 50)

Something like that (note: this isnt exact because im not looking at WE)

What he said, plus that you need the item being manipulated to have no added effects at all.

the action trigger is a pain to find since there is only 2 types of damage. Damage area and Damage Target both under unit.

but i'm going to try and find a way to do so. may not find it but i think i will
