[Trigger] Healing Doesnt Heal propper

[Pietje]

So I am creating an rpg with custom spells.

This is holy light that benefits from intelligence.
Al tough there is a problem. It only heals 67 while i setted the flat healing bonus to 100 and the unit has 32 intelect.

Some1 sees the problem in the script?
The damage dealth. on an undead is 132, which should actualy be less.

      • Else - Actions
        • Set FlatHeal = 50

Why don't you set the target unit's life simply? The problem is that it has to calculate the armor in coz you are damaging the unit.

• Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) + (HealingDone))

What third-party program are you using to modify your GUI?

 

[Pietje]

I am using newgen, and i use the damage spell due it beeing so much easier of showing the floating text on damage event.

The problem is the damage action, which you using for heal, actually this " attack type Spells"

Now depends of the armor of the target, the target takes reduced damage from Spell Types. Even you make a heal with the damage action, still something is absorbed, this why the unit gets lower heal as it should.
Now you can solve this, if you change the damage actions to Heal actions (as geries said) or you go to the Game Constant settings and change in every armor type the Spell Reduction to 1.00.

Hint:
You only need one variable for healing and damage.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Normal heals in WC3 are known as spell like damage in some ways.

For example, casting holy light on hurt friendly living unit with a 200% magic resistance will damage it by the ammount it is meant to heal.
You can not heal magic immune units.

I guess ill work with the unit - set life then.

Thx for suggestions guys.

You can use "Unit - Damage Target".
And you also can fully heal the targeted unit, how ?
Here:

• Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (Real(DamageDone)) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Unknown

Using Chaos Attack type and Unknown OR Universal Damage Type will let the calculation to hit pure exact amount.
In other term, it is called as pure damage

 

[Bribe]

damage type would also have to be "universal" to ignore armor.

This also does not account for units with Berserk turned on or units with Spirit Link turned on, which will modify the damage even though it is "universal" and "pure".

The only way to deal exact damage is done with SetWidgetLife (or SetUnitState, which does the same thing but more cumbersome). Nestharus uses such a technique in his Advanced Damage Event library.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

If there's a chaos-like damage and maybe no divine units, maybe you can set the damage type to that too.

 

[Adiktuz]

assuming you don't edit the damage tables on the Gameplay constants...

so best way for healing if you want exact amount is by using SetWidgetLife (for jass)... in GUI, just use the set unit life
