How can I increase spell damage based on hero level?

[X-Death]

I want to have a "Magic Power" type ability on my heroes, where their spells will increase based on example: Storm Bolt + Magic Power = DMG. How can I do this?

 

[deathismyfriend]

damage = base damage + ( level * increase damage)

The above is a simple formula used for increasing damage based on the level of the ability for that unit.

base damage is the amount of damage that the spell starts with. Lets say 100.
increase damage is the damage to increase per level. So lets say 20.
So the formula looks like this.
damage = 100 + (level * 20)

level 1 damage = 120
level 2 damage = 140
level 3 damage = 160
and so on.

I think you would need to use a Damage Detection System. There is a good one for GUI users that I use. It would allow you to detect the damage from your spell and then modify it to what you would like.

Here is a link Physical DDS for GUI by looking_for_help

You do not need this at all if it is a spell you made.

deathismyfriend, it isn't my own spell. It's the default Storm Bolt ability.

Veritas 117, so if I were to use that DDS, how would I go about detecting the damage from Storm Bolt and then adding another amount to it?

You would have to follow the example he has given. I believe it is along the lines of

Event - Damage Event becomes equal to 1.00

Actions - If, Then, Else
If - DamageType equal to SPELLS
Then - set amount = amount + extra damage

Take a look at the example map and you should have a better idea. I'm sure there are other things you would have to add like the unit that is using the spell and I'm not sure if there is a way to differentiate which spell it is. Feel free to post in the spell's thread or as looking_for_help. He is very helpful.

The only reason I would suggest this method is because I think you would rather have the damage occur when the storm bolt hits rather than as soon as you cast the spell. If you don't care about that then you can simply trigger the entire spell.
