[Spell] Damage Value With Hero Attributes

[Remixer]

I am trying to make a map that has a unit that should deal damage with spell and the damage should be [2xHeroStr] somehow it deals it but when I get more Str the value will not go higher. What should I do? I also tried to solve problem with trigger that sets the value again every 1.00 second of time. But it still does not deal more damage. What am I doing wrong?

 

[MortAr]

Show us the triggers maybe?

You must declare the ability of which this should trigger, and, you could just retrieve the strength of that Hero instead of saving it into a variable.

Also, why the two ITE calls?

 

[Remixer]

What are ITE calls? ;D

 

[MortAr]

If/Then/Else calls.

 

[Remixer]

Because I will propably add like 10 more attack types and dont want to make them all have own trigger xd

Where do you set the AttackPower value?

Where do you set the AttackPower value?

Ah, I think he sets this "AttackPower" value single-time only, and does not update with the unit's new Strength

@OP
You should set the AttackPower each time you cast the spell, because for each unit, it has different STR you know and meanwhile, your hero could be leveled up and increase its STR, unless your game is static attribute increment (does not increase STR per level)

Since the trigger always returns the value of Kanaije (a pre-set unit) STR value, this spell does not differ if it cast by another unit, unless you replace the "Kanaije 0001 <gen>" with (Triggering unit)

The trigger more or less, should be like this:

• Attack Dagger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set AttackPower = (Strength of Kanaije 0001 <gen> (Include bonuses))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attack
        • ((Target unit of ability being cast) is A ground unit) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Cause Kanaije 0001 <gen> to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing ((Real(AttackPowerInteger)) x 2.00) damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal
        • Sound - Play AttackDagger <gen> at 80.00% volume, attached to (Target unit of ability being cast)
        • Animation - Play Kanaije 0001 <gen>'s attack1 animation
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attack
        • ((Target destructible of ability being cast) is alive) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Destructible - Set life of (Target destructible of ability being cast) to ((Current life of (Target destructible of ability being cast)) - 10.00)
        • Sound - Play AttackDaggerDebris <gen> at 80.00% volume, located at (Position of (Target destructible of ability being cast)) with Z offset 0.00
        • Animation - Play Kanaije 0001 <gen>'s attack1 animation
      • Else - Actions

You should make that AttackPower an Integer variable, because there is no such thing as 2.5 STR of attribute in Warcraft III (the User Interface values)

 

[Adiktuz]

it is an integer... I think he just uses conversion to real to ensure that the product will be a real value...

 

[defskull]

Now you see my cool edit haha

 

[Remixer]

I am using integers and reals both because you can not use real value as hero attribute value ;/ and I had it like defskull said it so it will set the str always again but did not work then I changed that every 1 second of game time it sets new str value to str amount of Kanaije but still did not work...

 

[defskull]

Are you sure it does not work ?
Give us your map, nuff` said.

There. Dunno really what is wrong it just seems that it does not work...

EDIT :I disscovered the trouble... not triggers... it is simple... I had placed Tome of Agility instead of Tome of Strenght xDDD
