[Trigger] Half damage taken in mana?

[I_LOVE_SWE]

Im creating an ability called Reversal Armor. it's supposed to give half the damage you take in mana. But i cant find any way to detect the damage taken.

Just use mana shield That does what you want.

Never done this before but try:

• Reversal Armor Learn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Reversal Armor
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Reversal Armor Cast <gen> the event (Unit - (Learning Hero) Takes damage)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

• Reversal Armor Cast
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) + ((Damage taken) x 0.50))

Ok what you want is actually fairly simple, however it can only be detected by the Unit Specific Unit takes damage event. You can't use a Unit Generic Unit Event.

So basically you have to register the event on every unit that learns that ability. Yes this does leak if the heroes are disposable, but usually heroes tend not to be.

• Set Up
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Reversal Armor
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to DoReversal <gen> the event (Unit - (Learning Hero) Takes damage)

• DoReversal
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) + ((Damage taken) x 0.50))

Tested, it works hehe

Use the mana shield, change the *Damage Absorbed* to 0.50 and change *Mana per hit point* to 1.00

you could if you used custom script: set udg_unit = GetTriggerUnit()
where udg_unit is a global variable called unit then just use unit whenever referring to the attacked unit.
