Damage prevention + Damage Detection.

[LunarLite]

1. I need to find a way to block damage, but stil get detected how much damage was dealt. without JASS. [Solved]

2. How do i hide Ability buttons? (spellbooks?) [Solved]

3. Is it possible to let Spirit Link shift ALL damage taken to the other spirit linked unit? [Impossible?]


----------------------EDIT------------

4. how do i get devotion aura to actually give a x% armor bonus.

1. Use basic damage detection and calculate the unreduced damage based on the damage taken and reduction. Or you trigger the damage reduction giving some life back therefore damage taken will be unmodified by abilities.

2. You either base your spell on Channel and set Options - Visible to false. Or set the (passive) ability inside a spell book and hide the book with

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Disable Spell Book - (evasion) for (Player((Integer A)))

does that mean that the unit will actuallylose health but get the exact same amount back again? cuz this won't work with lethal hits.
also i need it to block ALL damage, not just reduce it. and then stil be able to calculate how much damage would have been dealt.... >_<;



gonna try out the spellbook thing tho, thnx maker :3

Blocking, reducing...same thing. It will work with lethal hits since "unit takes damage" event will fire before the unit takes damage.

Also one trick you might need is temporary max hp increase. Use item ability max hp bonus. Add the ability, set the level, remove it after a very short duration. Use negative values. There are systems for that.

 

[LunarLite]

no clue as to what you actually mean to do o.o......
atm i have:

-a basic damage detect, but it can't detect damage because its 100% blocked.

-a basic damage detect, life is automaticly regained after damage is taken, lethal hits will kill.


--------EDIT---------------------

nvm, fully understand itnow, thankyou very much ^__^ +rep ofcourse for answering 2 of my questions.

1. Use damage detection, add a large +HP ability to the unit, start a 0 second timer, and remove the ability when that timer expires (you can use a unit group to track any and all units that need the ability removed). This gives the unit a big boost in health to soak up the damage but still lets the damage event work normally.

3. I don't believe so.

4. When you set Devotion Aura to percent mode, it's a percent of the unit's base armor, excluding bonuses like contributions from agility. There's nothing you can do about that, I think. It could potentially be a triggered aura, but finding a unit's armor amount (to know how much to increase it) isn't that easy.

Wait, you mean that if the units base armor is 0, and it has 20 agility = 10 armor, it'll only see the 0 armor and base its percentage on that?

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's how it works, if I correctly remember what happened when I tested.

wow.. thats lame. got any ideas how i can grant a % armor bonus someway else?

 

[Chizume]

This may not be optimal but you could have an integer which you trigger to increase/decrease the value of whenever a unit should gain/lose armor. Then you could base the % value off of this integer. Which means you run a parallel value to the armor because you can't detect the actual armor of a unit.

wait wait wait, i smell a good idea here but its a bit chaotic.

-set a integer to 1/2 = yes/no = armor boost/no armor boost

-set a real to specified units armor (probably just multiply current agility stats with armor granted per agi point.)

and then?

calculate a second real for the % armor... how do i give that xx armor bonus to specified unit? don't suggest a 100 level ability please ^__^

Why not when it's the easiest way?

- Set level of ability Armor Bonus to Integer(RealPercentageArmor[#])

which means you'll have a lot of levels for the ability armor bonus o.0 .....
which will cause a minor freeze at first time usage and will drasticly increase loading time of the map. or so it has been said.

is it possible to change the bonus armor given to a int?

like,

Data - armor bonus: Integer_bonus[x]

 

[cboy123]

you can add an armor percentage via DEVOTION AURA!
Got no time to react tom will be the answer/

if you read the above its obvious Devotion aura will not work as wanted.

 

[cboy123]

How about DATA - Percent Bonus????

already have tried, it'll only give a % bonus over the base armor, not any armor you get from bonuses or even from agility.

Well, Triggers to the Rescue (Wonder what codes will be use.)
