Damage Shield

[Nevermore]

Nevermore. the newbie, here again with another question.
Is it possible to make a damage-shield spell using the trigger editor (non-Jass)? I need to make a spell that absorbs the next 60 incoming damage for my campaign.

An example of the triggers OR a link to a tutorial I overlooked would be awesome. Rep will be given.

You'll want to look into the Night Elf -> Unit ability that Giants have. Stone Skin, Hard Skin, or something. There's a flat reduce damage field.

I meant that I wanted a spell that, when cast, will absorb the next 60 damage the target takes, not reduce the damage taken by 60.

You'll need damage detection trigger, as well as a few others, to accomplish that.

Any details? Or links/tutorials that can help me?

This is probably the only link anyone really needs. Other than that, dig around the tutorials/scripts area.
