[Trigger] Damage Amplify spell.

[Space_Ship]

Hello! So I figure I need 3 triggers for this ability. This ability increases the amount of damage a target takes by 15%x LEVEL for 5 seconds. I need a trigger for the casting of the spell, for the timing of the spell (loop trigger) and for the damage event before it is done. I am using Bribes damage system also.

Cast/Loop trigger's.

• Curse Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Curse (Dark Wizard)
  • Actions
    • Set TempUnit = (Casting unit)
    • Set TempInteger = (Level of Curse (Dark Wizard) for TempUnit)
    • Set TempPlayer = (Owner of TempUnit)
    • Set TempReal = (0.15 x (Real(TempInteger)))
    • Set TempUnit2 = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit Group - Add TempUnit2 to AA04_CursedGroup
    • Custom script: set udg_AA04_IdInteger = GetHandleId(udg_TempUnit2)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of TempUnit2 using Abilities\Spells\Undead\Curse\CurseTarget.mdl
    • Hashtable - Save TempReal as 0 of AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfTempUnit as 1 of AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash
    • Hashtable - Save 4.98 as 2 of AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Last created special effect) as 9 of AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 2.00 seconds the text: (String(TempReal))
    • Trigger - Turn on Curse Loop <gen>

• Curse Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.02 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in AA04_CursedGroup) Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in AA04_CursedGroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set TempUnit = (Picked unit)
            • Custom script: set udg_AA04_IdInteger = GetHandleId(udg_TempUnit)
            • Set TempReal = (Load 2 of AA04_IdInteger from AA99_Hash)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • TempReal Greater than 0.00
              • Then - Actions
                • Hashtable - Save (TempReal - 0.02) as 2 of AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash
              • Else - Actions
                • Special Effect - Destroy (Load 9 of AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash)
                • Unit Group - Remove TempUnit from AA04_CursedGroup
                • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash
      • Else - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

This is where the problem is I think...

• Curse DMG
  • Events
    • Game - UnitIndexEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (DamageEventTarget is in AA04_CursedGroup) Equal to True
        • DamageEventOverride Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Set DamageEventOverride = True
        • Custom script: set udg_AA04_IdInteger = GetHandleId(udg_DamageEventTarget)
        • Set TempReal = (DamageEventAmount x (Load 0 of AA04_IdInteger from AA99_Hash))
        • Unit - Cause (Load 1 of AA04_IdInteger in AA99_Hash) to damage DamageEventTarget, dealing TempReal damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Unknown
        • Custom script: set udg_AA04_IdInteger = (0)
        • Set DamageEventOverride = False
      • Else - Actions

I don't know how I am supposed to detect the caster of the spell as the source for the extra damage in the damage event trigger, and also maybe I should just set the Damage bonus percentage real in the damage event trigger instead? Thanks for feedback

You're using UnitIndexEvent instead of DamageEvent...?

Honestly I'm just really confused about a lot of what you're doing in these triggers.

Changed it to damage event and now it amplifies damage. its supposed to increase all damage done to the target by a percentage, the amount amplified should increase depending on how strong the skill is obviously. Im trying to use 15% x Level of Curse at the moment. Currently it does too much damage and I am not sure why? At level 2 Curse makes a 200 damage ability do 85 bonus damage resulting in 285 damage, when it should do only 60 bonus damage based upon 30%, resulting in 260 damage.

No idea why that's happening other than armor value is making the damage higher.
