Insetting a math function in a trigger

[Wreeq]

Hello i am trying to make my first damaging spell.
But i can't figure out how to put a formula like "((5*INT)+100)" where "Ok" is.

 

[Hotwer]

Is "Ok" a variable? Most of the time, using arithmetics should help, since they give the power of using operators (+ - x and /)

 

[Jampion]

Use arithmetic.

"Ok" is: arithmetic "a" + 100
"a" is arithmetic 5 * "b"
"b" is Conversion - convert integer to real ("c")
"c" is Hero - Hero Attribute, Int

 

[Wreeq]

Where do i find the option of putting c as Hero - Hero attribute ?

 

[Jampion]

It's under Hero - Hero Attribute
you can press H to find it, but there are several blocks with h, so you need to press it multiple times.

Make sure, that you used convert integer to real before, because hero - hero attrivute is an integer

 

[Rheiko]

It's something like this

• Set Ok = ((5 x (Intelligence of YourHero (Include/Exclude bonuses))) + 100)

 

[Wreeq]

I'm totally lost, if any of you have the time could you upload a map with an example of the trigger in it?

 

[Rheiko]

There.

 

[Wreeq]

appreciate the help.

 

[Wreeq]

Can't seem to make the ability to do damage, what am i doing wrong?

 

[Rheiko]

Instead of "Targeted Unit", It should be "Target unit of ability being cast".

 

[Wreeq]

OMG sweet it worked, thanks.

 

[Wreeq]

If 5x is changed into -5x and c is changed to something negative too, could it be made into a healing ability?

 

[Jampion]

You only need - once (-*-=+). You still need to change +100 into -100.
I am not sure if UnitDamageTarget works with negative amounts, but you can try it.
You can also use Unit - Set Life, to heal a unit.

Writing the whole calculation into just one spot may bring you some pain if you ever need to change it. Especially if your damage formula is extremely long.

Better separate them so they would look simple and come handier.

• Set Damage = 50 // Basic damage
• Set Damage = (Damage + (1.25*(Intelligence of Caster (Include bonuses))) // Intelligence Scaling
• Set Damage = (Damage * 0.8) // Percentage scaling
• Unit - Cause (Caster) to damage (Target) dealing (Damage) damage of attack type Spell and damage type Normal

I sometimes convert a long calculation to a custom script to make updating easier.


Also negative values work fine with the damage trigger. However, if it's set to physical it will be subject to armor reduction.

No it will not make it a healing ability. Healing is done by modifying unit current health, adding the heal amount to it. An ability like Holy Light will not trigger damage events when healing, but will when damaging undead.

Set unit life to current unit life + heal amount. Heal amount can be your existing formula.
