Chain Lightning Gaining Damage {chain increasing damage, instead of reducing}

[Aljo]

As you know by now, Chain Lightning deals less damage with each jump, depending on how much you set it.

Would it be possible however, for the spell to be GAINING damage for each target?

For ex.:
Now it deals 100 damage on X1, 50 on X2, 25 on X3

If my idea would work, it would do 100 on X1, 150 on X2, 225 on X3, etc.

try using negative values at damage decrease per hit?
dont have world editor up right now.

 

[Aljo]

Nope, doesn't work, minimum number seems to be 0.

Guess I'd have to trigger it but I've no idea how

 

[Djinn1995]

ehhh hold shift then doubleclick on the text and modify.

 

[Aljo]

Thanks, it's working. Didn't know about the shift trick.

 

[busterkomo]

Yes, I have tested it and it works. If you're familiar with the heroes from DotA, Furion's ultimate does this.

 

[Djinn1995]

np you can change it in another place somewhere in preferences i think

 

[toofless]

yep, editor preferences - allow negative values

also turn off the Windows > Brush List (from editor window)

How does that help?

How does that help?

Speed up the editor.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Dramatically speeds up the editors load speed and also the speed at which changes to some fields can be saved. The whole brush list was poorly optimized, even to todays stanards.

 

[Smiddle]

I was just thinking if general stuff would be on-topic anywhere. Whatever.

 

[Need_O2]

I thought someone doesnt know "shift" thing may not know "brush list" thing too

 

[SanKakU]

yeah telling ppl about brush list is good idea. i wish someone had told me before i finally read about it in some random document. world editing is about a gazillion times easier after i learned that. and i didn't know about the shift thing although i did finally recently find out how to do the negative values with that option that was just mentioned.

 

[Need_O2]

I used it for more than 1 year with brush list
you may freely repleace "used" with "getting tortured by it"

Can u make storm bolt heal with negative value?

 

[Need_O2]

you should be able to I guess

 

[Redeemer59]

Can u make storm bolt heal with negative value?

Nearly every damaging ability can be made to heal with a negative value and vice-versa with healing abilities.

 

[monoflauta]

cool i didnt know that

 

[Deon]

Thank you for the brush list tip . +rep

 

[Djinn1995]

how do i turn off the Brush List?

 

[Need_O2]

In main WE windows there is a tab called Windows (like File - Edit etc)
Its there called Brush List

 

[Djinn1995]

ahh it was window i searched for windows. stupid me

 

[Need_O2]

[Aljo]

Thanks all, for all your inputs
