How to apply hero damage as spell?

[zadelim]

I had a problem. Need help. How do I apply a trigger with current hero damage in a spell? I show 2 examples below. If you helped me, I will very thankful for you.

Example: Example Strike - Level 10 Melee Instant It will deals 350% of your hero damage to targeted enemy instantly. Example Passive - Level 6 Passive 20% chance reflect 150% of enemy damage back to attacking unit. Increase 200% of enemy damage to your damage. Last 5 seconds.

Been dying to know this too

Because there is no direct way to get the base value of a unit's damage, and because the damage dealt by attacks varies a lot in game (natural randomness in the attack damage, possible criticals/bash, enemy armor type and amount, etc.), unless you keep a tally by triggers of the contributions from all auras, buffs, items, stats, etc. and thus can calculate the base damage from those factors, it's impractical to make an ability like that.

Of course, if you do that, more power to you.

You might want to consider basing it on an attribute instead of the attack damage, instead.

That said, you could approximate the first ability by adding a critical strike for one attack, and the second by basing it on damage taken, not on the enemy's base attack damage.

Critical Strike? Hmm... But I take it as active skill. Is it possible on critical ability?
How the damage taken triggering to? I still dunno how to use it.

Do you know Tuskarr the DotA Hero ???
It uses a 4x damage when a certain condition occurs
IceFrog uses what kind of system to detect Tuskarr's current damage ?
I suppose he uses a tracking damage system for the last damage dealt by Tuskarr ?
And then, applies the 4x current damage as ability ?

I know Tuskarr. I think he made like this way. But I don't think the trigger will easy.

When attacking a dummy unit to read out taken damage you could at least nullify the armor modifications.

Or just do all damage modifications via trigger yourself, so you can store it parallel.

Maybe you could store the starting damage of hero to a variable, then when level of hero increases increase that damage...
But with this way you'll need to store each hero damage with another variable.
This might work. Use [self="http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=44516"]this[/self] tutorial to create a perfect formula of creating true damage into variable, there might be something that tells how to calculate damage.
Anyway good luck!

Thx for the support. I will try it out with that PERFECT formula. ;D
