Creation of a passive skill

[Esa]

Hi!

I need help with the creation of a passive skill that works exactly opposite of Ursa Warriors (DotA) Fury Swipes. (each successive attack does +25 more damage)
I want every successive attack from each specific unit to deal, say, 7 less damage for each attack. How would you recommend I do this? It is very important that this does not count for all units. I'll clarify with an example.

"Monster A" attacks the caster 1 time dealing normal damage.
"Monster A" attacks the caster 1 time again, dealing normal damage minus 7.
"Monster B" attacks the caster 1 time, dealing normal damage.
"Monster A" attacks the caster 1 time, dealing normal damage minus 14.

I thought that this could be a debuff/effect, but didn't understand how I could make it stack. Also, this effect shall not last longer than 4 seconds max.

I started out with an "Unit - A unit Is attacked"-event, and followed up with this condition; (((Attacked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Unit-type of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Ooze)

I couldn't find any action that suited what I was looking for, while still maintaining it unique for every attacker.

Any help appreciated.

So is this activated on chance?

Add conditions and something that applies the buff.

Ursa Warrior's third spell is based on Incinerate (Fire Lord's third spell). All what you have to do is to change Bonus Damage Multiplier to "-7" (Shift+Click to set the value negative)

no triggers needed

 

[Esa]

No, this is not activated on chance, and it doesn't reduce the attack damage of the hero. It's supposed to reduce incoming attack damage by 7, uniquely for every attacking unit. It's a passive ability that stays on all the time.

 

[Noobsmoke]

then you can try to use Hardened Skin (Mountain Giant) with more levels and increase the spell level by using triggers

 

[Esa]

Hm, if I do that, won't the additional levels show up? I mean, the damage reduction should stack indefinitely, but I don't want an indefinite amount of levels on the ability to show up for the hero that has the skill. I can't alter the skill level and how it works in triggers either.

meh, maybe I should just go back to creating music, that's easier than this `-´

 

[defskull]

The trigger MUST be MUI to support every different character
Or maybe you have to save for every different attacker in a variable

Yes, please! Leave all coding work for me and make a beatiful piece of music, i want some

Grow up people...

Needs an attack damage detection system with a 0 timer to undo dealt damage as well as a minor system to keep track of hits and the expiry of the damage reduction.

Applying a negative fierlord buff to the affected units to give the reduction is logcally out the question due to it conflicting with multiple other attack effects which could seriously bug units (for example, a really strong fire arrow spell key to an attacker's sucess would have to be rendered unusable).

This is only really a problem if made as an aura as you can not destroy events properly. As a passive it should not be too hard.
