[Spell] Defend and Normal Damage?

[SKW]

Is there any way to make this happen?

Can you explain what you want? Is it a spell, is it a passive? What does it do?

If you are just talking about the defend ability, just add it to the unit. It is a toggle ability that reduces damage and decreases movespeed.

AFAIK defend is hardcoded to reduce only pierce damage. You could simulate damage reductions via custom ability and a damage detection system.

as he said

tho if you plan on changing all damage type values anyway, you could switch normal and piercing damage

 

[SKW]

Hardcoded huh. Whelp, I'm gonna leave that for when I'm finished doing things that I'm not afraid will blow up my computer, then have the explosion turn into chuck norris and kick me into an alternate dimension version of myself.

A damage detection system would probably be better to add at the beginning of a map.

The problem is you have no idea the kind of damage dealt by the unit, sadly. DDS can't detect damage type (not those CODE/SPELL/PHYS, but NORMAL/PIERCE/CHAOS etc) used by units AFAIR.

Unless the Defend count all kind of damage (NORMAL/PIERCE/CHAOS etc)

A solution would be if you sorted by unit type.

If you have only a few units that use normal damage, or a few that don't use normal damage.
