[Trigger] Channeled Fan of Knives?

[Ardenaso]

I'm making a skill of Malkorok's Eradicate where it deals constant + (x * seconds channeled) and if it is interrupted, it will still deal damage equal to the seconds channeled.

I tried making an integer variable but somehow I can't increase it on elapsing game time.

I think you'd want to do something like this. I may be incorrect on specific events (I'm a bit rusty) but this is generally the way I would go about doing it.

• start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fan of Knives Channel
  • Actions
    • Set Fanchannel = 0
    • Trigger - Turn on channel <gen>

• channel (initially off)
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Fanchannel = (Fanchannel + 1)

• end
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fan of Knives Channel
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off channel <gen>
    • Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s spell animation
    • Set loc = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Cast Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at loc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Fan of Knives to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Fan of Knives for (Last created unit) to Fanchannel
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Warden - Fan Of Knives
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

You base the heroes fan of knives off of a channel ability with the duration being whatever you want the max damage to be.
And you make a dummy unit cast the actual spell, which is a unit ability which has different levels of damage for each second you channel it.
