attack

[Aslit]

How can i make that an attack drains an ammount of energy of the attacking unit and decrease the attack power of the attacked one, without ussing triggers?

Thanks.

Not possible via data editor to my knowledge.
Triggers are your friend.

What do you mean by attack power? And to give your attack an energy cost just set them in Weapon - Costs+.
This shouldn't require triggers.

what i wanna is something like the combo from a wow rogue but simpler, that the 3rd attack of that unit is stronger, each attack give the unit energy (already did that), and when the unit gets 100 energy it does a stronger attack that "maim" other unit making its attack to fall, for example from 10 to 8. i want to make a race with new units so i dont wanna make the map very heavy using triggers for units stuff (i used to make war3 maps) but this new editor is very different, i know that its more complete, but its also more unneficient (something that used to take 5 min in the war3 editor, takes like 30 min in the galaxy... i went too far i think XD

You can use an apply behavior effect to apply a behavior which decreases the damage of the unit that gets hit by the attack.

You can also use validators to check if the unit has the required energy and such.

but it wont consume the energy for the attack :S

Your wording is making it very hard to understand what exactly your trying to achieve, it all sounds doable without triggers, but its not clear precisely what it is you want.

i figured out the energy part, whats missing is basicaly a unit attack that reduces the attack power of its target, for example if this unit attacks a marine (with base attack 8), that marine attack power will now be 6, lets say a 30% reduction.

Create a behavior of type buff, in Behavior Modifications+ combat field, in the part where it lists Damage Dealth - Fraction, change all the kinds of damage you want reduced by 30% to -0.30. Next create an effect of type Apply Behavior, and set the behavior applied to the buff behavior that was just created. Next create a Set effect, and in this put in your units Damage effect and the Apply Behavior effect, finally make sure your Weapon - Effect is set to the Set effect. It should work properly now.

although i have experience with war3 editor im kinda new with the data editor, and im having troubles to link stuff, for example ive created a couple of validators, and its not like the war3 editor that u create for example, an ability and then add it under the ability section of a unit, the data editor doesnt allow (as far as i know) to add stuff that way, how its supposed to be done?

 

[Darkness-4ever]

Depends on what you want to add, behaviors, abilities, validators and etc. are added differently to a unit, ability, behavior, and effect.

i added some ability buttons in a unit, but they are not showing ingame, how to reverse it?

 

[Aslit]

i found the way, but still having trouble with passive abilities like jet pack, and addig behaviour to units
