[Spell] ATtack Damage

[mogulkhan1Axe]

Hi hive i need somehow to make a spell for example :

Cast on enemy target deal Attack Damage + 35% of the Primary Stats in damage.

Now only thing i do not know is how to find what is the attack damage of a unit?

 

[Lender]

what is the attack damage of a unit?

Damage Detection Systems

u can find a few here on hive. If u would like GUI then i prefer Bribe's Damage Engine

I know that but there are spells that also do physical damage so it will register it as an ATTACK

And sorry i wasnt clear enough i need it to be shown at my multiboard not when it deals damage

You can't grab a unit's attack damage ingame unless you calculate (?) it within your triggers. But if you calculate it, you'd have to consider a lot of factors too, like upgrades that would change your unit's damage, aura damage bonus, item bonus (if your unit can carry items), and if it's a hero, you'd have to consider bonus damage given by stats and his passive abilities.

Hope that's useful info. ^^

I have a system I use (although it isn't the most efficient) I use a damage detection system and then every time damage is dealt by a certain unit I save it in a hashtable. Then when he casts a certain spell I use the saved damage plus whatever blah blah blah. The problem is that it doesn't calculate the attack damage exactly it just remembers the last damage dealt. Therefore if the ability is used right after a crit it adds extra damage to the spell. (I just added that to the abilities description haha) It seems to work ok, but there is probably a better way.

Here is my thinking
Make 2 variables

AttackDamage and PlayerTotalAttackDamage

Set hero damage to 1-1 and everytime unit equips (ur hero) some item (also stored into a varible with its own damage) add the specific amount to the PlayerTotalAttackDamage Variable. Now use Some damage detection system
And everytime the damage is physical (meaning attack) set the Amount(damage) to a PlayerTotalAttackDAmage(criticals included if the DDS is good)

That would definitely work, but you'd have to store every item that has a damage bonus on it. If you are willing to do that it should work.

Yes i know and since my map is not big (yet) its should be a problem and no problem adding new items to already existing trigger.
So thanks again for the reply.

Why not make the primary stat "Attack Damage"? Do you use stats somewhere else?

I use stats in Conjunction with Spell Damage

For example

Deals 40% of Spell Damage + 75% of the Main Stats in damage. :S

I suggest using Strength as Attack Damage then Intelligence as Spell Power.

But How will i boost Hp (str)

Maybe you could record all the damage your unit deals to every enemy in a variable. Whenever your unit casts your spell, you can just average the last 5 or 10 recorded damage and use it as your attack damage.

This will be really heavy though if there's a lot of unit that could use this spell.

Basically to achieve this it is pretty easy as well simple. Use an extra unit for every unit you want to be registered, then treat the extra unit exactly like your main unit and have it hit a dummy that doesn't die to register average damage.
