Halving damage.

[Drazhar]

Well i'm trying to finish a spell, and this is the part i'm having trouble with. What I'm trying to do is cause any damage that hits the unit while it has the specific buff, to be halved. I've tried setting the units life to it's life, ie

• Actions
• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - ((Damage taken) / 2.00))

Doesn't work, it actually doubles the damage he's taking. I'm unsure of how else to half the damage.

How about trying to put the value as 0.5?

You should use at the end the following action:

• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + ((Damage taken) / 2.00))

This "heals" the unit by the half of the taken damage.

That made him still take double damage it seems, same as having 2.00 : / more than double, had a footman with 50 health and no regen, rifleman with 10 chaos damage. 2 hit the footman.

Edit: You were right Dr.Boom, though I when I tried that before it seemed to be healing the unit for double the damage... I don't know, maybe I missed something as i'm quite sleep deprived currently. Thank you

I appreciate both your suggestions and am giving you rep now I need to be up for Uni in 4 hours, so i'm going to bed.
