[Trigger] How do i create a passive that increase damage with each attack

Veldris · Apr 28, 2020

As the title says i want a passive that stacks up to 8 times and deal increased damage each stack.

Grab a DDS system, should do most of the work for you.

Probably a dozen old threads with very similar requests too.

Not sure I understand what you mean but you can try this :

Test
- Events
  - Unit - Archimonde 0001 <gen> Takes Damage
- Conditions
  - (Damage source) Equal to Paladin 0000 <gen>
- Actions
  - Set Stack = (Stack + 1)
  - Unit - Set level of BONUS DAMAGE for (Damage source) to Stack
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Stack Equal to 8
    - Then - Actions
      - Set Stack = 0
    - Else - Actions

Don't use a unit takes damage use a DDS like Chaosy said.

Wouldn't it be better to just keep the stack at maximum instead of resetting the stack count?

DDS means Damage Detection System. For GUI users, this is preferred over a simple specific unit takes damage event, since DDS usually automate the process (of event registration) for you.

I opened the DDS Thread can't seem to understand the basics.

Damage Detection System such as this one : Damage Engine 5.5.0.0

Test
- Events
  - Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
- Conditions
  - (DamageEventSource) Equal to Some Unit
- Actions

The OP said he wants the passive to stack up to 8 times and then it will reset to 0, unless I misunderstood something...

I don't think GER (reset to 0) was mentioned. Anyway, it's up to OP to clear that up if needed.

or until the attacker switch unit he resets the stack

Each attack will have bonus damage. On the first attack it adds a small bonus, on second even more, third even more, etc.
So if your hero deals 50 damage without the ability, when he gets this ability he will do:
50 + damage bonus ---> 1st attack,
50 + damage bonus*2 ---> 2nd attack,
50 + damage bonus*3 ---> 3rd attack.
etc.
Well, I just forgot that ability has no limit on bonus damage...so there's actually no way to stop it at 8th stack.

no way to stop? so what then?

This spell has a stack limit : Triggered Incinerate v1.2

Pretty sure he just wants something like Troll Warlord's Fervor in dota, but instead of attack speed it's attack damage.

Each attack on the same target adds a stack for X seconds (or forever?). Each stack adds damage.

Switching targets sets the stacks to 0 and removes the bonus damage.

Correct?

You sure do post a lot, Veldris

You should try searching and experimenting, would help build your skillset.

I currently have an ability in my project that does this. It increases attack damage by 10%, up to a maximum of 100%. Resets on target switch or if 3.0 sec elapses without refreshing. Uses Bribe's damage engine and timer utils (event = udg_DamageEventModifier) but you could reference the code for rebuilding in GUI:

Lua:

furbolgFrenzyHits = 0
furbolgFrenzyTarget = 0
furbolgFrenzyTimer = NewTimer()
furbolgFrenzyBonusDmg = 0
furbolgFrenzyBonusMultiplier = 0.10

local Furbolg_Frenzy_f = function()

    furbolgFrenzyHits = furbolgFrenzyHits + 1
    ReleaseTimer(furbolgFrenzyTimer)
    furbolgFrenzyTimer = NewTimer()
    TimerStart(furbolgFrenzyTimer,3.0,false,function()
        furbolgFrenzyTarget = 0
        furbolgFrenzyHits = 0
        furbolgFrenzyBonusDmg = 0
        ReleaseTimer()
    end)

    -- additional hits checking stored target:
    if (furbolgFrenzyHits > 1 and furbolgFrenzyTarget == udg_DamageEventTarget) then
        -- only allow up to 100% bonus damage:
        if (furbolgFrenzyBonusDmg < 1.0) then
            -- starts on 2nd attack, so subtract first (furbolgFrenzyBonusMultiplier):
            furbolgFrenzyBonusDmg = furbolgFrenzyHits*furbolgFrenzyBonusMultiplier - furbolgFrenzyBonusMultiplier
        end
        UnitDamageTargetBJ(udg_DamageEventSource,udg_DamageEventTarget,udg_DamageEventAmount*furbolgFrenzyBonusDmg,ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL,DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL)
    -- if first hit, start timer and set target:
    else
        furbolgFrenzyTarget = udg_DamageEventTarget
        furbolgFrenzyHits = 1
        furbolgFrenzyBonusDmg = 0
    end
end

yeah... i don't know jass or lua

Here you go. It's not MUI, so it's designed to work for ONE unit and one unit only. You'll need to adjust the variables in the Stacking Damage Setup trigger, it has instructions. You also need to copy and paste the Stacking Attack Damage ability to your map.

You'll have to adjust the system if your unit with the stacking damage ability isn't pre-placed on the map. That's because I set StackHero in the Setup trigger and it requires you to choose a Unit on the map. I also add the StackAttackAbility to the pre-placed unit as well. Note that you can add the StackAttackAbility ability to the unit in the Object Editor instead of adding it with triggers.
