How to make a spell like Berserker Blood in Dota ?

Dr. Boom · Oct 11, 2012

Wasn't this the passive ability of dat Huskar?

Well I think it's not that difficult. You just have to use the Item-Abilities: "Attackspeed Bonus" and "Damage Bonus".

Then you create a trigger, which periodically checks the current health of the hero and increase, decrease or set the hidden ability to a certain level, which gives the attackspeed and damage.

some explanations of how the spell works.

This spell let you gain ((Level of Berserker's Blood) x (3.00/100.00)) ASPD and ((Level of Berserker's Blood) x 2.00) Damages for each 7% loss of health points up to 14 times. When the hero recovers Health points, for each 7% of recovered health point will decrease your hero's ASPD by ((Level of Berserker's Blood) x (3.00/100.00)) and your hero's damage by ((Level of Berserker's Blood) x 2.00) and when the hero regain the damage taken, the process recommences.

It requires you to create 4 kind of "Item Damage bonus" ability with 15 levels each.

BB Damage Bonus (1)
Level 1 - 0 Damages
Level 2 - 2 Damages
Level 3 - 4 Damages
...
Level 15 - 28 Damages

BB Damage Bonus (2)
Level 1 - 0 Damages
Level 2 - 4 Damages
Level 3 - 8 Damages
...
Level 15 - 56 Damages

BB Damage Bonus (3)
Level 1 - 0 Damages
Level 2 - 6 Damages
Level 3 - 12 Damages
...
Level 15 - 84 Damages

BB Damage Bonus (4)
Level 1 - 0 Damages
Level 2 - 8 Damages
Level 3 - 16 Damages
...
Level 15 - 112 Damages

The same thing goes for "Item Attack Speed Bonus".

to makes this spell works, you also need to import "Unit Indexer" created by Bribe, here is the link https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-unit-indexer-1-2-0-2-a-197329/?prev=search%3DUnit%2520Indexer%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20, there already provides tutorial to import "Unit Indexer" by Bribe.

BB Effects, BB Effects Remover and BB Life Check Triggers should be "Initially On" (as shown on the test map).

and here, i made a test map for you.
you can copy & paste all the abilities there.
here's the list of all the abilities you need to copy

1. BB Damage Bonus (1)
2. BB Damage Bonus (2)
3. BB Damage Bonus (3)
4. BB Damage Bonus (4)
5. BB ASPD Bonus (1)
6. BB ASPD Bonus (2)
7. BB ASPD Bonus (3)
8. BB ASPD Bonus (4)
9. Berserker's Blood

After you copied all of the abilities, attach BB Damage Bonus (1), (2), (3), & (4) and BB ASPD Bonus (1), (2), (3), & (4) to Abilities - Normal of the hero who will own Berserker's Blood.

Damn TwoVenomous! I'm really happy to see you creating abilities, systems and all sort of stuff for people

Even I wondered a lot of times how to create a skill like this one

mostly because of the hiver's helps, i was able to create this ability. xD

Spartipilo · Oct 11, 2012

You forgot to warn that this ability requires Unit Indexer

yes, i forgot. i'll add another notes to warn him.

SenPie69 · Aug 25, 2021

this reply might be flagged as necro-posting but how'd you do that but only 1 level? i tried doing it but its not detecting it (if possible not hero ability/cannot lvl up, just plain passive)

Andreas263 · Jan 15, 2022

I also have a problem with this spell, I tried to make it an innate passive spell, means the hero already has the skill by the time it enters the map...
But the problem is, as the hero developed throughout the game (i.e. Gaining levels, acquiring items, or anything that increases it's hit points) the spell is like stuck on the first trigger:

Dragon Blood setup
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters lake <gen>
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set db_unit = (Triggering unit)
  - Set db_i = (Custom value of db_unit)
  - Unit Group - Add db_unit to db_group
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set db_life[db_i] = ((Max life of db_unit) - ((Max life of db_unit) x (((Real((Integer A))) x 8.00) / 100.00)))
      - Trigger - Add to Dragon Blood increase <gen> the event (Unit - db_unit's life becomes Less than or equal to db_life[db_i])
      - Trigger - Add to Dragon Blood decrease <gen> the event (Unit - db_unit's life becomes Greater than db_life[db_i])
      - Trigger - Add to Dragon Blood lifecheck <gen> the event (Unit - db_unit Gains a level)
      - Trigger - Add to Dragon Blood lifecheck <gen> the event (Unit - db_unit Acquires an item)
      - Trigger - Add to Dragon Blood lifecheck <gen> the event (Unit - db_unit Loses an item)
      - Trigger - Turn on Dragon Blood lifecheck <gen>
      - Trigger - Turn on Dragon Blood decrease <gen>
      - Trigger - Turn on Dragon Blood increase <gen>

Dragon Blood increase
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in db_group and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set db_unit = (Picked unit)
      - Set db_i = (Custom value of db_unit)
      - Unit - Set level of Dragon Blood (spell book) for db_unit to ((Level of Dragon Blood (spell book) for db_unit) + 1)

Dragon Blood decrease
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in db_group and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set db_unit = (Picked unit)
      - Set db_i = (Custom value of db_unit)
      - Unit - Set level of Dragon Blood (spell book) for db_unit to ((Level of Dragon Blood (spell book) for db_unit) - 1)

Dragon Blood lifecheck
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set db_life[db_i] = ((Max life of db_unit) - ((Max life of db_unit) x (((Real((Integer A))) x 8.00) / 100.00)))

The trigger 'Dragon Blood lifecheck' does updating the variable 'db_life[db_i]' based on the hero's max life in the game, but these triggers 'Dragon Blood increase' and 'Dragon Blood decrease' still functioning based on the hero's max life in the trigger 'Dragon Blood setup', and not on 'Dragon Blood lifecheck', how should I fix that...?

Thanks in advance...

I wouldn't use this design. Just use a Periodic Interval or Timer that checks the status of your Berserker Blood unit(s) every 0.25 second or so. Then update the values of the Berserker Blood abilities according to your unit's current life.

In version 1.31+ we can toss out the Spellbook/Set level design and modify ability fields directly through triggers. An example can be found here:

Attribute based Spells and More (SetAbilityRealLevelField)

------SetAbilityRealLevelField Tutorial------ Hi Everyone, this is my "First Tutorial" about SetAbilityRealLevelFields in GUI, and evrything we can Modify on our Spells. I started this Tutorial because, i cant find anything about it on Hive.. and its very usefull for Beginners. Content...

www.hiveworkshop.com

So your unit would be given hidden Attack Speed/Attack Damage abilities and you would modify their field values directly instead of messing with ability level.

Andreas263 · Jan 16, 2022

So, in this case, where is the cause of the problem (for this design)...?

This seems a very preferable alternative, I like the simplicity of it... Anyway, let just say there will be more custom units with the same spell, and the lifecheck will be performed every 0.1 second, how many of them can be handle without affecting game performance...?

You won't notice a change in performance, you're only checking life totals and possibly changing ability levels.
Edit: I guess I shouldn't say this so definitively. You more than likely won't notice a change.
