Is it possible to make a "spell vamp aure"

[Wreeq]

Is it possible to make an aura that works like vamp aura but for spells damage instead.

 

[BloodSoul]

Yes. Though you'd probably have to trigger it by taking advantage of Damage Engine, which is capable of detecting spell damage.

Cool i'll try it out, thanks for the help again

 

[Wreeq]

Hmm i have tried playing around with it, and i can't seem to make it work.

• Dark gift
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Dark God gift ) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Attacking unit)) + DamageEventAmount)

You should use, game real variable (in this case damage event) becomes to 1.00. Then you should check if a unit has vampiric aura buff. Then do whatever you want

 

[Wreeq]

Hmmm something like this?

• Dark gift
  • Events
    • Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (((Triggering unit) has buff Dark God gift ) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + DamageEventAmount)) else do (Do nothing)
• [trigger/]

[Wreeq]

Just trying to learn my dude

 

[Rigborn]

Use respective variables in dds, I never used bribe's system but it should be something like "damage source" if damage source has a buff ... and damage type is spell
Set life of the damage source, damage source + ....

The trigger will run even when they deal physical damage (basic attack) so you need to add another condition to check what the damage type is, also using waits in this case is a bad approach to make it mui.

The abilitie was also meant to give physical damage lifesteal, but how do u suggest that i approach the use of specielt effects?

When you destroy a special effect, the game will wait for its death animation to be played, and then it gets removed. In your case, you don't need that wait.
