[Solved] How to prevent from dying with hp cost ability

[SenPie69]

just as the title says, i have this spell that consumes 20% of the HP but i want to make it like huskar's lifebreak in DotA where base of his hp%left as cost (preventing him from dying like with 60/2000 HP and that spell is like cost 20% of the remaining hp to cast therefore he won't die after casting with low hp) [sry i find it hard to explain this] and ends up dying if the caster has 20% or less HP

 

[Devalut]

set life to X [Max (1.00), ( Unit Health - (Max health x 0.20))]

 

[SenPie69]

set life to X [Max (1.00)

^ that part, what configure action is that?

 

[Devalut]

I.e.
60/2000 health caster would be given two options:
1. 1.00 hp
2. -340.00 hp (60 - (2000 * 0.20))
Max always chooses the (Max)imum value meaning that 1 in the event of low hp will always be chosen.

im confused after the Set Life (To Value) i don't see arithmetic/math option after clicking the first one[set life of triggering unit] (unless that feature is on reforge coz i use 1.27ver)

Now this is a really difficult step, hold onto your butt...



try the other one

already done that, i did both percentage and value, still gets killed with less of the conditions cost

i put 200% as 20% cost

According to that you are simply taking the life of the triggering unit, subtracting 200.00 and setting the resulting value as its new percentage of it's life, note the % at the end of the line.
Read over the screen shots and use Set life to (VALUE)
End result should look like:

• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to (Max(1.00, ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - ((Max life of (Triggering unit)) x 0.20))))

Not

• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - 200.00)%

 

[SenPie69]

so i did but still gets killed with less than 20% of the health

The number of brackets in your screenie tell me that you're a big fat fibber.

In my trigger I have value 1 as (1.00), and value2 as (Life of (Triggering unit)) - ((Max life of (Triggering unit)) x 0.20)))

You have value1 as (1.00), but have value2 as (Life of (Triggering unit) and then you go on to subtract ((Max life of (Triggering unit)) x 0.20) from outside Max(x,y).

Review the screenshots earlier and try again.
