Attacking for 0 Damage

[greasontim]

okay well the hero attacks but does no damage at all
Attack Type: Hero
Cooldown: 2.00
Damage Base: 10
Damage # Dice: 1
Damage Dice Sides: 6
Number of Targets 1
Projectile Speed: 900
Range: 600
Range Motion: 250.00
Targets Allowed: Air, Debris, Enemy, Ground, Item, Structure, Ward
Weapon Type: Missile
And yes its Enabled

So knowing all that what can cause a unit to deal 0 damage not counting armor.

Is there anything else going on that you can tell us about (abilities, etc.)? I've seen this happen with a combination of Phoenix Fire and Incinerate.

 

[greasontim]

well its skills are triggered skills
Mana Shield: Absorbs 1% +1% per lvl cost of 1 +.5 per lvl (Based on Mana Shield)
Soul Protection: Reduce spell damage by 2% per lvl (Based on Elune's Grace)
Immortal: Makes the Hero Invulnerable for X time or until target ally unit dies (Based on Channel)
Mana Explosion: Deal damage to every unit in 400 range of hero damage = ((.2 x skill lvl) x mana) Cost: all mana (Based on Channel)
Soul Search: Steals mana from nearby units (Range and Mana steal vary depending on its lvl) (Based on Roar)

Hmmm, without seeing your map directly, the only guess I have is that you either modified the damage tables or the unit you are attacking has the divine armor type.

 

[MortAr]

The basic Warcraft engine does not allow damage taken to be below 1.
Either the Mana Shield is absorbing all of the damage or the damage tables are messed up.

 

[Baintastic]

yeah, that's a good point. I assumed you meant that your hero is doing 0 damage. Did you mean a unit is dealing 0 damage to your hero?

 

[greasontim]

No I mean the Hero is dealing 0 Damage to everything and units can deal damage to it

 

[Baintastic]

I'll take a look at it for you if you want to post it here.
Otherwise, you can email it to Baintastic[at]gmail[dot]com.

Armor can reduce damage delt to atleast 1. After that, armor type can reduce the damage below 1.

 

[greasontim]

The armor was only at 10% reducation and he was at 200-230 Damage
I'll bring everything over to a map with all the same settings and you can check it
Things bring put over
Hero, Skills, Triggers, Game Constants
A few Units

Double cheack your attack type is indeed missile, a unit can still attack with "none" attack type it just wont deal any damage.

Secondly are you using any sort of bounce attack on the affected hero?

 

[greasontim]

Combat Attack 1 - Weapon Type: Missle
Its not Bounce Missle just "Missle"

......... LACK OF DEALING DAMAGE WAS CAUSE THERE WAS....
Combat - Attack 1 - Projectile Arc: 0.00

Since when id that effect all missle attacks?

 

[axleion]

that's strange and more likely impossible if the damage is affected by the arc of the projectile.
or might be the spell the hero carrying is a bit bugged? affecting that attacked unit perhaps?

 

[greasontim]

No I found the real reason was Elune's Grace I Damage Dealt was at 0 so once learned you dealt 0 damage
