Increasing/Decreasing Incoming Damage by Percents

[I34w90_238j]

Hi, I have in my map a variable which changes amount of damage of a certain type, and that variable is initially equal to 1.00.
I can change that variable whenever I want.
When a specific unit receives damage, that type of incoming damage is taken, and is multiplied by the variable to control it.

How can I manage that correctly?

Perhaps it has something to do with manipulating attacking/attacked units' behavior manually via triggers?

Modify the Armor/Damage as you desire, in Advanced > Gameplay Constants > Combat - Damage

Then I won't be able to dynamically change the protection!

Do you realize what you're asking for? Every time a unit is attacked/damaged this trigger will run. Don't you think that'll cause lag? Unless of course your unit count is limited..

• Attacked
  • Events
    • Unit - Unit Takes Damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing ((Variable x (Damage taken)) - (Damage taken)) damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal

Something like this?

Yes, almost like that. But I have different attack types, and the variable I use controls only a certain damage-type. But it's alright anyway, I'll take the damage source, it's point-value will determine its damage type.
