Help with Attribute-Based Damage for Auto-Attack Spells

[Cyphin]

Hello, I'm relatively new to trigger editing and have run into a slight snag with on of my Hero's spells.

I've been trying to make my ability "Call of Fire" (based off of Flame Arrow) deal damage based off of the Hero's Intelligence. I've gotten it to work with limited success using :

• Events
• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to Call of Fire
• Actions
• Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (Real((Intelligence of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Lightning

Where I run into snags is when I set the ability to autocast. While auto-casting, the spell doesn't receive any bonus damage unless I physically click on the ability and the target for the ability.

Any help is appreciated. =-)

AFAIK you can do it with a damage/buff detection system.

Do a search for "damage detection" in the Spells section, and then add a an if/then/else after damage is detected: boolean - unit has specific buff.

Try changing "starts the effect of an ability"to"begins casting blah blah..." It may work

Might want to take look at this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/how-trigger-auto-cast-arrow-abilities-165253/

If this is the only ability in your map which needs Damage Detection System beter do it like in the tutorial.

The damage dealing would be

• Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing ((Real((Intelligence of (Damage source) (Include bonuses)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
