Dealing percent damage through trigger

[BETABABY]

As the title says... How do I damage an enemy unit based on the target's maximum HP?

I need specific number like 10%, 12%, etc.

Unit has 400 Current Hp but has a Maximum Hp of 500

Percentage = 12

Maximum Hp of Unit x (Percentage / 100) = 12% of Max Hp
= 60 Damage

Current Hp of Unit x (Percentage / 100) = 12% of Current Hp
= 48 Damage

If you want it reduced (eg armor, armor type or spell reduction etc) it should be dealt as damage to the unit. Especially if it is based on maximum HP this should be done as the damage could be fatal and you will want to credit the kill to the caster.

Yep, sounds like the best option is to use the Unit - Damage Target function and for damage use ((Max life of Unit) x 0.12). That is 12% of max health.

Maybe this could help you

• Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - ((Life Max of (Picked unit)) x 0.05))

It soustracts the current hp of the unit with 5%

You'll need a pick every unit action for this one though

And no one gets credit for the kill.

So basically like this:

• Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast) by ((Max Life of (Triggering unit) x 0.12))

 

[Bribe]

Yes.

Thanks

Except in that trigger, triggering unit would be the one using the ability if the event is "Unit Starts the Effect of an Ability".

So you probably want to change the

((Max Life of (Triggering unit) x 0.12))

to

((Max Life of (Target unit of Ability being Cast) x 0.12))
