Item decreases spell damage?

[KepTiN]

Does anyone have a solution/know how to trigger this: if a unit is carrying a certain item, he will take less damage from *a certain* spell, such as immolation:

i.e.: immolation normally does 10 damage per interval, but if a hero with a certain item is subject to immolation he will only take 5 damage or however much less per interval.

Cant be done. You have to trigger the Immolation and it's damage and add conditions to the trigger if the target has that item or not.

Easy. Base it off the Item Abilities > Spell Damage reduction ability. If you want it just from a few spell, you could make it so that when a spell is cast on that hero, it is healed a bit (to offset the damage), otherwise, trigger it like super-sheep said.

What do you mean by "trigger the immolation"?

Make a new spell identical to immolation through triggering. Then add condition If unit has item equal to "blah" then do "blah". Get it?

I can easily trigger (in GUI) an immolation that can be activated/deactivated but I I'm having trouble making it MUI. Can anyone help?

Use hashtables, they work amazingly for making stuff MUI.
