[Trigger] Attack damage boost during Day/Night Cycle

[Superfrycook]

Hello everyone, I tried to make a custom race with the Day/Night Cycle. At night, when the game time is at 18.00, the damage will be increases. But at day, when the game time is at 6.00, it reverts back to normal damage to a picked player. Feel free to ask, TY.

Picked player = nothing in this case, it only works if you use this

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)

So you need to refer to the player in some other way. I see that you have a ConsulatePlayer variable, you can use just that instead of picked player?

I think using player handicaps was a good idea, assuming simplicity and consistency are high priorities.

However, this will stack with everything: Claws +10 will now give +13, so if you wanted it to only give a bonus to the base damage, an ability might work better - you could use an ability with a percentage attack bonus, maybe a 100% chance critical strike that does 130% damage, and disable it for the player at dawn/start and then enable it at dusk.

Another thing (depending on the game) you might want to add is a buff, even if it's just a dummy icon, so that opponents (or even the player) can be reminded when they select a unit that has the active bonus.

EDIT: I think Critical Strike would actually cause the same problem of it increasing other bonuses as well, and the only other ability I can think of is Command Aura, and no one likes to sacrifice an aura.

I might look around later for an ability solution, but I'm a little busy..

You could have a dummy unit with a 99999 radius Command aura +30% affecting player unit only and enable/disable the ability during day/night time

Depends if you want just bonus attack damage or bonus damage on every source

You can have 2 Command Auras work together, as long as you also create a new Command Aura buff and give it to the 2nd Command Aura

Why did I not know that. It hasn't always been that way, has it?

Well I cannot say for certain if it's been like that since day one, but it works on patch 1.29.2
I can guarantee it with 100% certainty, I tested it around a week ago

Aura always stack since old days, but normal buffs used to not stack

Ya, I guess it is old news, I must have just misunderstood a long time ago and never trie to stack them since.
