[Trigger] Any way to decrease armor by triggers?

[tjordell]

Hello i wonder if there's any way to decrease the enemies armor via triggers. Not using any dummy unit! Just use triggers. Like "Set current armor - armor -1"
But anyways if that doesn't work could you tell me a spell that decrease armor for a dummy unit. I can't find any spell that decreases armor on the enemy to a dummy unit... Excep the Orb of Corruption, but that spell doesn't work to cast. Just to damage and the dummy unit ain't damaging the unit...

No, you can't :/ You can add to your unit a Ring of Protection ability with negative values.

• Unit - Add Ring of Protection (Negative) to (Target unit of ability being cast)

You can also place Unholy Aura or Spiked Carrapace with targets allowed: Self and negative values of course.

Hmmm... Okay :/

No, you can't :/

Yes you can... well, indirectly.

Take your Ring of Protection ability. Make several abilities, lets do 8. Now, for each of the abilities you'll have to have their armor bonus value as:

• 1
• 2
• 4
• 8
• 16
• 32
• 64
• 128

You can do the same thing but with negative values for negative effects. Anyways, lets say you wanted a bonus of "3". There is no ability for it, but you can do:

Ability [1] + Ability [2] = +3 Armor

Another example, say... +134 armor.

Ability [128] + Ability [4] + Ability [2] = +134 Armor

I made a library that allowed you to do this easily, by doing: call UnitModifyArmor( theUnit, intArmorBonus )

If you want, I could quickly make another one (since the only version of it I have is for a unit-struct, and my old version was lost in time). Here, you can use this.

Use the spell "Acid Bomb" or something like that, the alchemic skill, which decreases armor (just set poison to 0) and that's all!

Hope it'll help
