[General] AttributeStatSteal_TriggerHelp

[PerPlumeShake]

Hello, I'm Trying to create an Attribute Steal(Passive Skill) where each hit of the attacker to the targeted hero, the attacker's attribute increases by 4 then the targeted hero's attribute decreases by 4 and has the limit of 50 attribute that can be stole from the targeted hero. if the attacker stops attacking the hero within 10 sec it returns the attribute that the attacker stole.

concept: the Attacker attacks the targeted hero 5 times and stole "20" of its attribute from those 5 attacks, then the Attacker stopped attacking that targeted hero for 10 seconds and returned that stolen "20" attribute from that targeted hero. if it where to use damage engine which is this.

Hope you guys could help.

Attributes can't go below 1, unless you manually Set them to 0 in the Object Editor. So you have to decide what it means to "steal" attributes, do you always gain 4 regardless of how much the opponent loses? Or do you literally steal the amount that is drained. For example, the enemy hero has 2 Strength, you damage it and it loses 1 strength. Do you gain 4 strength or 1 strength in this situation?

Anyway, since you have a Damage Engine and shouldn't be using this Event anymore:

• Unit - A unit Is attacked

With that in mind, something like this might work:

• Snatch Damage
  • Events
    • Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • (Level of (Ban) Snatch for DamageEventSource) Greater than 0
    • IsDamageAttack Equal to True
    • (DamageEventTarget is A Hero) Equal to True
    • (DamageEventTarget belongs to an enemy of (Owner of DamageEventSource)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Snatch_Source = DamageEventSource
    • Set Snatch_Target = DamageEventTarget
    • Set Snatch_CV = (Custom value of Snatch_Target)
    • -------- --------
    • Set Snatch_Duration[Snatch_CV] = (5.00 x (Real(Level of (Ban) Snatch for Snatch_Source))
    • Unit Group - Add Snatch_Target to Snatch_Group
    • Trigger - Turn on Snatch Loop
    • -------- --------
    • Set Snatch_Current_Strength = (Strength of Snatch_Target (exclude bonuses))
    • If all conditions are true then do actions
      • If - Conditions
        • Snatch_Current_Strength Greater than 4
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Snatch_Current_Strength = 4
      • Else - Actions
        • Set Snatch_Current_Strength = (Snatch_Current_Strength - 1)
        • If all conditions are true then do actions
          • If - Conditions
            • Snatch_Current_Strength Less than or equal to 0
          • Then - Action
            • Skip remaining actions
          • Else - Actions
    • -------- --------
    • Set Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV] = (Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV] + Snatch_Current_Strength)
    • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Target: Subtract Snatch_Current_Strength
    • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Source: Add Snatch_Current_Strength

• Snatch Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game-time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Snatch_Group and do actions
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Snatch_Target = (Picked unit)
        • Set Snatch_CV = (Custom value of Snatch_Target)
        • -------- --------
        • Set Snatch_Duration[Snatch_CV] = (Snatch_Duration[Snatch_CV] - 0.05)
        • -------- --------
        • If all conditions are true then do actions
          • If - Conditions
            • Snatch_Duration[Snatch_CV] Less than or equal to 0.01
          • Then - Actions
            • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Target: Add Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV]
            • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Source: Subtract Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV]
            • -------- --------
            • Set Snatch_Duration[Snatch_CV] = 0.00
            • Set Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV] = 0
            • -------- --------
            • Unit Group - Remove Snatch_Target from Snatch_Group
              • If all conditions are true then do actions
                • If - Conditions
                  • (Number of units in Snatch_Group) Equal to 0
                • Then - Actions
                  • Trigger - Turn off (this trigger)

Notes:

• This uses Unit Indexing.
• Make sure Snatch Loop is initially OFF. We don't want it running unless there is a unit in Snatch_Group.
• I made it add Strength equal to the amount that was Subtracted, but it always resets the timer regardless.
• I made it last 5/10/15/20 seconds. (+5 sec per level).
• I believe this only works on base Strength. You may need to use a negative Attribute Bonus ability to include bonus Stength as well.
• This will only work for one single Snatch ability at a time. If two or more units have this ability then the triggers will break.
• If you want it to be MUI then you'd probably have to incorporate a Hashtable and manage multiple values from different sources on different units.

Regarding the rest of your triggers, you have a Damage Engine, you shouldn't be using this Event anymore:

• Unit - A unit Is attacked

The whole point of the Damage Engine is to allow you to detect the exact moment when your attack hits the enemy.

With that in mind, something like this might work:

• Snatch Damage
  • Events
    • Game - DamageModifierEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • (Level of (Ban) Snatch for DamageEventSource) Greater than 0

    • (DamageEventTarget belongs to an enemy of (Owner of DamageEventSource)) Equal to True

    • Set Snatch_Target = DamageEventTarget
    • Set Snatch_CV = (Custom value of Snatch_Target)
    • -------- --------
    • Set Snatch_Duration[Snatch_CV] = (5.00 x (Real(Level of (Ban) Snatch for DamageEventSource))
    • Unit Group - Add Snatch_Target to Snatch_Group
    • Trigger - Turn on Snatch Loop
    • -------- --------
    • Set Snatch_Current_Strength = (Strength of Snatch_Target (exclude bonuses))
    • If all conditions are true then do actions
      • If - Conditions
        • Snatch_Current_Strength Greater than 4
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Snatch_Current_Strength = 4
      • Else - Actions
        • Set Snatch_Current_Strength = (Snatch_Current_Strength - 1)
        • If all conditions are true then do actions
          • If - Conditions
            • Snatch_Current_Strength Less than or equal to 0
          • Then - Action
            • Skip remaining actions
          • Else - Actions

    • Set Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV] = (Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV] + Snatch_Current_Strength)
    • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Target: Subtract Snatch_Current_Strength
    • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Source: Add Snatch_Current_Strength

          • Then - Actions
            • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Target: Add Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV]
            • Hero - Modify Strength of Snatch_Source: Subtract Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV]
            • -------- --------
            • Set Snatch_Duration[Snatch_CV] = 0.00
            • Set Snatch_Stolen_Strength[Snatch_CV] = 0
            • -------- --------
            • Unit Group - Remove Snatch_Target from Snatch_Group

                • Then - Actions
                  • Trigger - Turn off (this trigger)

Make sure Snatch Loop is initially OFF. We don't want it running unless there is a unit in Snatch_Group.

I believe this only works on base Strength though. You may need to use a negative Attribute Bonus ability to affect bonus Stength as well.

yeah it literally steal the amount that is drained, target hero's agility: 64, the attacker steals 4 from the target hero's agility, the target hero's agility would be 60. it attacked again it'll be 56, 52, and so on. Until the snatch skill reach the limit of 50 of the attribute that you could only steal.

 

[Uncle]

I forgot to include the limit, but you can track that in the first trigger using the same Unit Indexing method I use to track Snatch_Stolen_Strength.

• Set Snatch_Strength_Limit[custom value of source] = Snatch_Strength_Limit[custom value of source] + X
• If Snatch_Strength_Limit[custom value of source] Greater than or equal to 50 then
  • Set Snatch_Strength_Limit[custom value source] = 50
  • Skip remaining actions

Also, subtract from this variable in the Loop trigger when the Hero loses their bonus Strength.
