Help with DDS

[Nicanof]

Hello!, i want to trigger my spells so they deal spell damage based on attributes, my problem is, that i dont know how to use the DDS (Bribe's one) to do that, so i kindly ask, can anyone make me an example of a spell so i can get started?

i don't think you need DDS for that, at least if you are talking about attributes like strength, just use this action:

• Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (Real((Strength of (Triggering unit) (including bonuses)))) damage of attack type Magic and damage type Normal

guess i wanst clear enough, i know how to trigger the damage, but i want to trigger it when it hits the target, you cant do that with spells like storm bolt without a DDS, there is no Event that allow you to be precise on when the spell lands.

Say i want to do a storm bolt that deals 5 times intelligence when the spell land on the target, how do you do that?

This might help, you have to use a dummy buff on storm bolt to differentiate from other stuns, and then do the dmg, you need a stun system tho

mmh this seems useful, but it uses buffs to detect the spell, what about buffless spells like chain lightning?

You're fuuuuuucked.

You need to trigger chain lightning, sadly.
If you're asking for Shockwave, you can use Breath of frost to detect that
But lightnings requires a triggered spell

You will have trigger the whole spell
