HP Cost ?

[hdm]

How can I make a spell cost HP for be casted ?

 

[SanKakU]

you could perhaps make the unit damage itself. perhaps using chaos damage.

yeh...looks good

or just decrease the caster unit hp when he attack or cast with trigger (action-unit->set unit life (to value))

• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - 5.00)

Your final product would look something like this:

• Events
• Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to *your spell here*
• Actions
• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - 5.00)

I'm curious though, how do I add the -5 to the (Life of (Triggering unit)?

Arithmetic

i would recomend adding a condition to stop it from killing your hero instead of it taking his hp to 0 if he is low take it to 1

Or if you want the spell to be uncastable if the hero has too low health, you can make a dummy cast the spell instead, give your hero a Channel ability, and a trigger to check whether your hero has enough hp to cast the spell.

First off, there must be a condition to cast the spell, your HP needs to be 100 and above to use the spell, HP >= 10% and whatsoever

Here's the condition for a spell that requires a HP of 100 and above (it will cancel the ability once it is casted and the condition does not meet)

• HP 100 And Above
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Beastial Form
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 100.00
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

This is for percentage condition check

• HP 10% And Above
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Beastial Form
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Percentage life of (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 10.00
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

This is only for reduction check, for reduction itself, refer to the triggers above (related posts)
