Damage Return Spell

[Mallaboro]

'lo folks. Could do with alil' help trying to get this spell to work. Think of it as Thorns Aura - but not. :| Yes, the units I've tested it on deal more than 10 damage.

[edit] specifying what part of the trigger isn't working; it doesn't set the value for 'Spell_InfernalShield'. When testing the floating text reads "0 dmg returned (Mallaboro)"

And how does it bug exactly?

Does the floating text show? Use Game - Dispaly message action to print the damage and for other debug messages. What does it say?

Updated my original post.
"specifying what part of the trigger isn't working; it doesn't set the value for 'Spell_InfernalShield'. When testing the floating text reads "0 dmg returned (Mallaboro)""

i don't understand what do you wanna do ... triggered Thorns Aura ?

 

[Mallaboro]

Erm, no. I want to return 10% of the incoming damage back to the attacking unit.

 

[Noobsmoke]

• Set Spell_InfernalShield[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))] = ((Integer((Damage taken))) / 10

Why do you convert it to an integer then convert back to real ?

 

[Mallaboro]

I convert Damage Taken, because its recorded as a real, to an integer, so that Spell_InfernalShield can use it. If that makes sense.

"Damage taken" only works with "A unit is damaged", and not with your event.

But "A unit is damaged" is a single unit event, you can't use it as a generic event unless you use a vJass library or a system which add events (there are a lot of them, just use the search tool).
I'm not sure, but there is also an ability which returns damages. Maybe there are none which return damages depending on the damage taken though...

Alright. Thanks.

Save the damage into a variable first then use the variable in that Floating Text ?

Yup, Tirlititi is right about thingie that "damage taken" reference works only with "A unit is damaged event".

You must set the floating text actions in the trigger that has "A unit is damaged event", also you can do it like this it's a little trick, create a trigger that adds the attacked units into the new trigger with action "Add new event", and set that the newly added event is the "A unit is damaged event", where you replace the unit with the attacked unit. Also add a checker to that trigger so that it check's if the unit has the valid buff (of course if this is a buff/aura ability).
The important thing you should know is to create a "unit group" variable and store the units you add the event so that do not be added more than once, cuz the trigger then runs two times for them. Also add the checker that removes the dead units from the "unit group variable", cuz they will not be in use, they are dead lolz.

Hope I helped
