I cant find Pure Damage.

Where can i find pure damage in the triggers? I have searched the Unit Damage action but cant find any Pure Damage in the attack-type. Is it not in the original World Editor?

What's "Pure Damage"?

The attack types are:

ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS = chaos damage (i.e. 100% dmg to all, unless you change damage tables)
ATTACK_TYPE_HERO = hero damage
ATTACK_TYPE_MAGIC = magic damage (as in magic attacks, like a chimaera)
ATTACK_TYPE_MELEE = normal damage (like a footman or grunt)
ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL = spell damage (as in damage done by spell abilities)
ATTACK_TYPE_PIERCE = piercing damage
ATTACK_TYPE_SIEGE = siege damage

Pure Damage that deals the exact amount of damage specified without being reduced by armor. Chaos damage is 100% to armor types but is reduced by armor.

 

[aznricepuff]

ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL

that equals default wc3 spell damage. It will ignore all armor rating. It will not, however, ignore armor TYPE. To make it do 100% to all armor types, you would have to change the damage table, specifically for "Spell" damage in the Advanced -> Gameplay Constants window.

ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL

same as the first one except this one ignores magic immunity as well (think ultimate spells)

You can just go to constants, then there will be something like armor value.
You can edit all armors there and howmuch damage they receive, you can even set unarmored units to reduce damage by 99% =p

It was my mistake for calling it pure damage... It is actually spirit link damage combined with chaos attack. Sorry...

 

[Need_O2]

DAMAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN I guess

 

[LeviathanReborn]

So, this Chaos attack-type combined with Spirit Link damage-type will give you the exact amount of damage done no matter what armor type or armor amount?

And if I want damage that is reduced by spell resistance but not armor, i use Spells attack-type and Spirit Link damage-type?

 

[Volvox]

Yes. You got the point.
