[Trigger] Is there anyway to ADD damage throught triggers?

[tjordell]

Hello THW-users. I wan´t to know if there's any way to add damage throught triggers. Not adding any abilities to the hero/unit.

If you're looking for direct damage, then this will help:

• Unit - Cause YourDamagingUnit to damage TargetUnit, dealing X damage of attack type YourAttackType and damage type YourDamageType

Note that I just used variables to make it easier to know what's happening.

I mean like adding it to the damage "info" bar.

 

[dardas]

What do you mean by info bar? like a damage detection? or the place it shows like

damage: "11-32"?

 

[tjordell]

Yes like that. "Damage 20-23"

I'm afraid I can't tell you how but I can tell you I've seen it done before and it requires jass (obviously).

 

[tjordell]

What? Why are there things that can be made in JASS and not in GUI!?! That's rediculus"<---- Spell???"!

Because GUI is just an interface for JASS. (And GUI is missing quite a few functions and natives and what-not)

Anyway, I don't know if you can modify it directly. You could modify the attributes (the primary attribute) to get the proper damage you want (but that also will modify other things) or you could make a new unit with the damage you want so that it will suit your needs.

Or, you can use Bonus Mod. That might count as a "+x" though rather than directly into the damage. I am not sure though.

Are you really sure about that? Because i've heard that if the ability is hidden, there whont be any effect of it...

If the ability is an active one and you disable it, it will not work. If it's a passive one and you disable it, it will not work. If you add your passive (only) ability into a spell book and disable the spell book, it will work.

The easiest thing would be to use the item ability of claws of attack..

Add it to a hero and it will be invisible (no icon) but will add the damage.

(the damage will be added NOT increase the basic damage)

DarkAgelAzazel, thanks that was what i meaned. Like 20 - 35 +20 (+20 made by claws of attack). Thanks alot. +rep

 

[Slaydon]

well, how did you plan to use it? the only thing ill recommend is making custom abilities

 

[tjordell]

I did just want to know how to. Better to do some research =)

 

[Slaydon]

well, if u use http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=107940 its easy

its just
call ApplyStats_DAMAGE(yourunit, yourdamagebonus)
call ApplyStats_DAMAGE(yourunit, -yourdamagebonus) (for removing it)

well i think its ApplyStats_VALUE

But tjordell if you wan't something like 11-13 instead of 10-12 + 1 then I might aswell propose tomes.
