[Trigger] How to do Healing Over Time?

[Chickay]

hello the spell im making atm is like Regrowth from WoW - it heals for an amount & makes a heal over time on the target. I've tried to make the trigger myself which was like this:

• Restore instant
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Restore
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) + (((Real((Intelligence of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))) x 2.00) + ((Real((Level of Restore for (Triggering unit)))) x 10.00)))

and then i made like wait 5 sec, heal for 2.5 etc... which didnt work cus of the wait thing (which i learned from searching HoT, DoT, damage over time, healing over time etc).

Then i got help from another user, and he suggested this:

• Restore Instant
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Restore
  • Actions
    • Set Target = (Targeted unit)
    • Set Caster = (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Set life of Target to ((Life of Target) + (((Real((Intelligence of Caster (Include bonuses)))) x 2.00) + ((Real((Level of Restore for Caster))) x 10.00)))
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Run Restore HoT <gen> (ignoring conditions)

• Restore HoT
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Restore
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of Target to ((Life of Target) + (((Real((Intelligence of Caster (Include bonuses)))) x 2.50) + ((Real((Level of Restore for Caster))) x 5.00)))
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Unit - Set life of Target to ((Life of Target) + (((Real((Intelligence of Caster (Include bonuses)))) x 2.50) + ((Real((Level of Restore for Caster))) x 5.00)))
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Unit - Set life of Target to ((Life of Target) + (((Real((Intelligence of Caster (Include bonuses)))) x 2.50) + ((Real((Level of Restore for Caster))) x 5.00)))

In the first one (which i made) the instant heal worked, but there was no HoT... on the one that was suggested nothing worked - i've asked in another thread how to do a DoT (long time ago) and that was in jass, which i tried to make to a heal over time which i failed badly at as i dont know jass

if you know how to make this in the world editor it would be great, but jass is fine too if you explain most of the text and sorry for the block of text..

Firstly it leaks...

And to only get it to work

Make HoT event to be Every 5 seconds...

remove wait time from HoT and leave only one that type action

Back to Restore instant

remove wait time, and keep that Turn HoT
Since you want 3 heal times per 5 secs, make wait time after "Trigger - Turn on HoT" what is 15 seconds
and make after that trigger - turn off HoT

For leaks I will tell solution Tommorow, I am bit tired today...

Well if you would know dummy things, you could have made Holy Bolt and when it is casted, create dummy with rejuvienation and order it cast rejubienation on Target unit of ability being cast, then you could make it MUI and very efficient...

Base your ability on ''Roar''.

With roar, you can increase life/mana regeneration to units in area over time.
To add even more bonus, press shift + enter before modifying.

[Chickay]

could you please type the whole trigger? i pref a done trigger cus ive been spending like 5 hours on this stupid thing

edit: yes i could base it on things like roar etc. but the heal over time is based on the hero's intelligence, which wouldnt be possible with regeneration?

 

[baltross]

Dude i think there is an ability called regrowth that is the same All you have to do is to modify it the way you want want and Voila!

 

[Creative.S]

Remove the event and condition in the "Restore HoT" trigger. Both the triggers will trigger the same time cause of the same event and condition, so you can also safely remove condition. That should be a slightly progress;p

 

[Blaxor]

If you want to have a real simple solution, base it of rejuv and a trigger that adds a bit of hp to the target when the ability is cast. If you want it more advanced MUI and GUI (even if with Jass it would be so much shorter) I can make you one that really is a HoT (does not increase regen rate but ticks)

i have a nice solutin if the max int on your map isnt to high:
make a 200 lvl rejuv
use autofilll to set the lvls(^^)
when the unit casts the spell create a unit at the target of the base abilty
then create a dummy there
give him the rejuv
set the lvl to heros int
order the dummy to cast rejuv on the target
add a exxp timer to the dummy
remove leaks

 

[Ranger21]

Better if you write good ability on jass(vjass)

i using some systems for my heal (timer attaching + beatiful float text create)

Don't think you realize the fact that object editor things increase the load time by a shit load.

 

[redscores]

Just make a MUI Hot/Dot System for GUI, so you can easily make any dots or hot spells.

 

[SlayerII]

i tested such a thing wasnt that shit at all-making 200 spells instaed of lvls would make the load time shit
i dont mean what you wrote redscores...

 

[redscores]

Did you read what I wrote? A system means not to make a spell with 200 levels or 200 spells... oh dear...

Use jass tags:

globals
string NoStack="\n\n\n\n " + "|cffffcc00 Unit already have heal buff|r" + "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
endglobals

function BoosterHeal takes nothing returns nothing
local timer t=GetExpiredTimer()
local unit u = GetUnitTimer(t, 1)
local integer healed=R2I(GetRealTimer(t,1))
local string s = "|cff00AB00"+I2S(healed)+"|r"
if GetUnitAbilityLevel(u, 'B004') > 0 then
call SetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE,GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)+healed)
call list.add(u, s)
else
call FreeTimer(t)
endif
set t=null
set u=null
endfunction
//Ranger21
function ConditionsBooster takes nothing returns boolean
local integer p=GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))
local unit targ=GetSpellTargetUnit()
local timer t = null
local real lvl=GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggerUnit(),'A00N')
local real healed=GetHeroInt(GetTriggerUnit(),true)*((lvl/10)+1)
if GetUnitAbilityLevel(targ, 'B004') == 0 then
if GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A00N' and udg_Marine[GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())]==GetTriggerUnit() then
set t=CreateTimer()
call StoreUnitTimer(targ,t,1)
call StoreRealTimer(healed, t, 1)
call TimerStart(t,1,true, function BoosterHeal)
endif
else
call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetTriggerPlayer(), 0, 0, 5,NoStack)

set targ=null

return false

[Ranger21]

it is just example, if author know jass(vJass)

i can make this heal without using other systems and by using structs(vJass)

If you want heal with normal jass it very hard for me...

If you want heal system on vJass and which can be executed in GUI, then stop using GUI
