How do i make a ability that take critical damage on just a special unit?

[Orgreem]

This is the problem: I am making abilitys and trying to take the *Critical strike* and change it so it just make critical damage on a special unit.

(Sorry for my english xD)
i meen like this: A spearman should do critical damage on cavalry and not soldiers on foot. Thats what i meen. But i dont know how to make it.

Can you help me?

If a unit-type attacks, check if a critical strike can occur, add it to the attacking unit and remove it right after that.

Ok, thank you! +rep for that =)

Or you could just make them so certain amour types take more damage from certain attack types, like in, element tower defense for example, change the image of the amour, and the attack type, and change the damage increase/decrease for certain units, If you know what I mean

Adding critical strike abilite when the units attacks his rival and then removing it can make problems, and alot of them.

You can detect damage to all units that are effected by this thing and then have check who is the attacking and the attacked unit, then use the trigger to damage the unit more, to represent the critical.

 

[Orgreem]

hmm, well that works too =)
Thank you! +rep to both of you!

Use the Demolish ability and change the parameters for the armor types it affects.
That way you can give it a tooltip to make the players aware of the bonus damage.

 

[Orgreem]

ok, but can you put more description please xD
do you meen i should put triggers or wich parameter do you meen? In object editor?
Or what should i do?

And what do you meen with tbe armor type affect with the demolish?
Can i change it on the objcet editor?

And thank you for helping me +rep for that!

I mean in the object editor, under the Demolish spell, there is a field for what type of units it affects. I don't remember if it is armor type or classification. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it is classification. You can set it to 'ancients' or whatever classification you wish and make sure you add the classification to the Cavalry (using the object editor of course).

 

[Kercyn]

If you do this though, you have to make sure other units can hit it as well.

Ah! Now i understand xD

Ok, i think i know what kercyn meens, i had that problem before but i have learn a little about it.
He meens if the cavalry is *Ancients* the other units cant attack it, and then we have to put a *ancient* type to the *attack target*

Was it that you meen?

 

[Kercyn]

Yeah, that's what I meant. You have to make sure every other unit can attack Ancients, or Mechanical or whatever

 

[Orgreem]

ok, thank you =)
