    • IsDamageSpell Equal to True
    • (DamageEventSource has buff Old Blood ) Equal to True

Did you mean for this to be all conditions are true? If so, remove the wrapping <or> tag.

Have you verified your unit indexer is working?

What version of damage engine are you using? This is how I would modify damage in 5.5:

• Set DamageEventAmount = (DamageEventAmount x 3.00)

There is no triggering unit in this event, only DamageEventSource as the 'trigger unit':

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads |cffd45e19Spell Dam... at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 4.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

edit: also, the way you increment the attacks right now means the bonus will occur on every 3rd attack. Move the increment to the end of the trigger or change the required value to 4 to fix.

i dont want it to be an auto attack and yes my unit indexer is working all triggers are working but i dont know how to make it every 4th Cast spell deals extra dmg

I don't think you inferred properly.

You're checking if it is either a spell or if the unit has the buff. Is that intended? That would count any kind of spell damage.

Did you try the other suggestions?

What i have in mind is this

If a hero cast the same spell for 3 times the 4th time will deal extra damage

The spell original damage is 50 spell damage with the 4th cast it deals 500 damage you get me?

 

[Uncle]

Do everything Planetary said and you should be all set.

That means remove the OR in your conditions, it's not needed.

And don't use "DamageEventPrevAmt", instead use: Set DamageEventAmount = DamageEventAmount * 3.00

but it triggers after each spell i don't want that to happen

i did as he said

 

[Uncle]

You're still referencing "DamageEventPrevAmt".

And you need to explain exactly what you want. I'm assuming the Buff you're checking is associated with the Passive, which doesn't seem necessary as you can just check if the unit has the ability.

• Conditions
  • (Level of YourPassiveSkill for DamageEventSource Greater than or equal to 1

Is the passive designed to work for only 1 of the Hero's spells?

For example:
Thunder Boost (Passive): Every 3rd cast of Thunderclap deals 3x damage.

still doesn't work the spell damage floating text appear after first spell

 

[Uncle]

Show the triggers for the Spells that deal damage. If you deal multiple instances of Spell Damage it will run the Damage Event trigger many times.

Also, add this to the top of the Damage Event trigger after you increase Oldblood4Cast by 1:

• Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: (String(Oldblood4Cast[(Custom value of DamageEventSource)]))

so if its aoe it will run it multiple times?

 

[Uncle]

Yes. Every time a unit takes Spell Damage from a source with the Old Blood Buff it will run the trigger.

So what you can do is instead increase Oldblood4Cast when the unit casts a spell. The issue here is if the damage from your spells is delayed or if the spells can be cast in a very short amount of time. Because you could 4th cast Storm Bolt, and while the Bolt is still in the air, cast Thunderclap, and Thunderclap will change the variable preventing Storm Bolt from dealing bonus damage.

• Example
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Oldblood4Cast[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))] Less than 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Set VariableSet Oldblood4Cast[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))] = (Oldblood4Cast[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))] + 1)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set VariableSet Oldblood4Cast[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))] = 0

 

[Veldris]

Yes. Every time a unit takes Spell Damage from a source with the Old blood Buff it will run the trigger.

damn how do i make every 4th spell tho?

 

[Veldris]

Yes. Every time a unit takes Spell Damage from a source with the Old blood Buff it will run the trigger.

i don't want it to take damage overtime. i want it everytime the damageeventsource cast a spell it adds +1 to the variable counting and at 4 it will deal extra damage with the spell of his choice.

 

[Uncle]

Are the spells that deal bonus damage triggered? Or is the damage coming from a Blizzard ability like Thunderclap? Because it would probably be better to not even use a Damage Engine for this and instead trigger your spells to deal bonus damage if they're the 4th cast.

Like the one you helped me with last time?

 

[Uncle]

Hmm? Which abilities do you want to deal bonus damage. Is it a Hero that casts multiple spells? Is it an Item that gives the passive ability?

Can you explain exactly what you want to do in detail.

also does this increase damage done by spells or all damage sources? Screenshot - 4cd9ea24d28d3fd57e7d10fb010c0b8e - Gyazo

i have a spell called Meteor

Which calls down a meteor on target stunning him and dealing AOE damage i want it to deal extra damage on 4th cast when the buff is on but that is a choice maybe the player want to buff a different spell

 

[Uncle]

That should work only for Spell damage. However, just to be safe you might want to exclude the other Damage Types as well like this:

• Conditions
  • IsDamageSpell Equal to True
  • IsDamageMelee Equal to False
  • IsDamageRanged Equal to False
