damage reducing

[Shendoo2]

Is there a way to reduce the damage of a unit by X amount, Would be nice to do with triggers. Or is there an ability that reduces the damage of 1 targeted unit.

Easy way

Event - Unit is attacked
Action
Set life Attacked unit to (Life of Attacked Unit + (amount of damage being reduced that you want))

Can't u just use object editor ?
Stats - Damage (Base) - YourDamage.

No... i want a ability that reduces there damage. So if a unit normally does 10-17 damage, they do 8-15 damage. Kinda like howl of terror but it only affects the unit it was targeted on.

 

[l0git3c]

Event - Unit is attacked
Condition - Attacking unit has (Your Ability) buff equal to True
Action
Set life Attacked unit to (Life of Attacked Unit + (amount of damage being reduced that you want))

 

[Shendoo2]

thats not what i want. I want the actually units attack to decrease.

Create an ability+buff based upon 'Command Aura'. Set a negative value and change targets to 'self' only + range 1.00. add the ability to the affected unit. Removing shouldn't be a problem afterwards.

If you meant incoming damage use 'Hardnend Skin'

Have you tried basing the debuff on Inner Fire and using negative values?
Or since Inner fire uses %, maybe you want a set value?
Make a trigger that adds an ability based on the item damage bonus ability with negative values.

 

[Shendoo2]

Is there anyway to do it without adding a ability to the unit?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Try using innerfire like mentioned here already.
You could also try adding an ability like a hidden command aura via a hidden spell book so it is graphically not visable goving the illusion of it being a buff from the spell when it is actually from the aura.

Use the hardened skin ability.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is attacked
• Conditions
  • Insert Condition
• Actions
  • Unit - Add Ability (The Ability Based on hardened skin)
  • Wait 1.00 seconds
  • Unit - Remove ability (The ability just added)

 

[Shendoo2]

ill just do it DR super good's way seems to be the best way.

{EDIT}
When i add the ability to the unit it doesn't show it. Could it be cause the unit is a hero? Anyway to do with the targeted unit being a hero.

If you want a decrease damage debuff, use a modified "Cripple"...

 

[Meticulous]

Negative value inner fire, cripple, soul burn (also silences), negative self-auras (trueshot, command), negative self-cast Roar or Battle Roar, self-cast Howl of Terror, item damage bonuses with negative values (no buff). Plenty of ways to reduce damage.

If you don't want it to be percentual, use a negative "Hero Attack Bonus" (which is the ability given by Claws of Attack).
