Damage bonus like in SC2

[operation3000]

Hello
here is my problem

I need a way to create an ability that will makes the unit dealing more damage to an armor.
I know that i can do it with Gameplay constant, but I only want to know if its pssible to use an ability. If its possible, can you tell me if the ability will calculate extra damages as percentage or as real number.
Ps: I want an ability to put a name on it, the namde will only be the name of the weapon that the unit uses, in description, ill write which one attacks air, which one attack grounds, which one attacks building, etc..

thanks

Impossible in WC3 unless you trigger all damage which is difficult to do and not always accurate at immitating ingame mechanics. It would also need a lot of data stored for armor types and such.

If this is possible in SC2 (like you said) then I advise using SC2 as SC2 editor facilities were designed to be better than those in WC3.

No its not impossible, you use a bash that's 100% and only targets for example a suicidal unit.
You then give the suicidal tag to a unit you want the counter to work.
This will give bonus damage only to units with that tag.
You can also scale this with upgrades by increasing ability level.

Yes but you can not do it for many different unit types with different values. You will run out of types for units.
