Double Damage Item Spell

[MN Lahmar]

Hello guys, i need the easiest way to double the damage of the hero when he uses an item. For example, he uses a potion and it gives him the same amount of damage that he posses for 30 seconds. (Just like in DOTA)

1. download a DDS
2. check if attacker has buff X
3. set target health to current hp - damage

So first you 'damage' the target with triggers and then the damage that is detected will also deal damage = damage x2

Spoiler

It might be in reverse order, the result should be the same either way.

Make a custom ability based on Howl of Terror. Set damage increase to -1.00. Make it only affect self. Change miscellaneous settings, like effect, cooldown, duration.

Then make an item that has this ability and activates it when used.

3. set target health to current hp - damage

Set damage = damage * 2

 

[Chaosy]

No. The unit takes X damage. The we deal X damage to the target again. If we did damage * 2 he would actually take 3x damage.

When using a proper DDS... just a DDS, then you can modify the damage done by changing the DamageAmount variable.
If you double that variable, you deal 2x damage without making a new damage count that will be applied next to that damage.

Ah. I always use one the by Weep, it doesn't have the benefits of the newer ones.

 

[Wietlol]

I don't even use a DDS...
I have an engine that replaces the damage engine of WC3... I may have overdone it a bit but that only benefits me

Actually this is a good idea. I tried the spell Roar instead of Howl of terror and it works. This is the easiest way i guess no Damage detector, no triggers, no crap, all Natural.

Indeed all natural. Mind though that this method is not perfect. The buff might be able to get purged, prolonged by a pause and most important, these kind of abilities only use the base damage + damage from stats, no raw damage bonuses.
