Damage description

[AlienMaker]

I have been thinking and searching sometime without an answer, is it possible to put a formula into description?

For example there would be a Storm Bolt ability.

It says:
Throws a magical hammer at a target enemy unit, dealing <AHtb,DataA1> damage and stunning the target for <AHtb,Dur1> seconds.

It's damage would be increased by strength, so DataA1 + Hero's Strength = damage.
Would i be able to put a formula into description which it counts as your strength might increase during levels and the damage raises?

Sorry if there is already asked the same question, but i couldn't find it D=

I doubt thats worth discovering. Just put in the values manually.

I really doubt that this is possible. As far as I know you cannot summand values in a tooltip. Furthermore you cannot get the current stat points(in tooltips) from heroes and it seems that you cannot get information about unit values. I just tried to put in <Hpal,INT> and it returned null.

.. so in other words: you have insert it like "45 + int"

So you're trying to add damage based on hero-attributes to your Storm Bolt spell. Make Storm Bolt have a unique buff so that it can be specifically detected when the Storm Bolt impacts a target unit. Once the Storm Bolt impacts said unit, it will deal damage, at which point you need to deal unit-to-unit damage based on the attribute of choice.

Basically, when "New Storm Bolt" is casted, have a damage-detection-event trigger run a condition/action that checks for whether or not the unit has the "New Storm Bolt" buff and then deal the extra bonus damage accordingly.

He's having problems with the tooltip.

I doubt that its possible. As far as i know, the 'codes' only works for stats inside the spell. But why not just write "<AHtb,DataA1> + STR"?

 

[Master of Eagles]

Impossible. Those codes are in .slk files. Means that for example Dur1 is in a .slk file.

trigger it ...

 

[AlienMaker]

Yeah, i've got it already. The tooltip thing won't work, not even if you put +1.

Well thank you anyways for answering D=

 

[Berb]

It makes a little more sense now that he was only having troubles with the tooltip.

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

trigger it ...

... >_> you cannot trigger tooltips.

 

[baassee]

... >_> you cannot trigger tooltips.

I read between the lines and thought he needed help with the spell

wonder if you use JNGP to make the tooltips? Forgot to push generate?

 

[Berb]

No his problem is that he cannot "access" a hero's strength/agility/intelligence stats within a tooltip. Wouldn't make much sense though anyway considering it would be a variable amount, and the tooltips are not dynamic.
