[Trigger] Lifesteal on bash - problem

[emdea]

Basically i'm trying to do a spell that steals life based on dmg done when a unit is bashed (buff: stunned(pause). After going thru different triggers i got stuck. Can someone tell me whats wrong with the following trigger(s)?

• Lifestealon
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of BashLifesteal for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Set Lifesteal_Target = (Attacked unit)
    • Set Lifesteal_Caster = (Attacking unit)
    • Trigger - Add to Lifestealdmg <gen> the event (Unit - Lifesteal_Target Takes damage)
    • Trigger - Turn on Lifestealdmg <gen>

• Lifestealdmg
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True
    • (Level of BashLifesteal for (Damage source)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Lifesteal_Caster Equal to (Damage source)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Lifesteal_Damage = (Damage taken)
        • Unit - Set life of Lifesteal_Caster to (Lifesteal_Damage + (Life of (Damage source)))
        • Set Lifesteal_Target = No unit
        • Set Lifesteal_Caster = No unit
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

• Use a damage detection system first of all.
• This is not MUI.
• Turning the trigger on and off is not needed.
• Change: (Lifesteal_Damage + (Life of (Damage source))) to + Life of (Triggering unit).

Well isn't triggering unit = unit taking damage? (event: unit takes damage)
I don't want to use a damage detection system as i'm trying to learn new things do them on my own. Turning the trigger on and off was left there during previous failed attempts. Any other suggestions?

Life steal, sorry, forgot that. I thought it was about healing the target. Well, what part doesn't work? I insist on removing those turn on/off's
Try a custom buff.

this works if you want life steal while unit is stunned

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of your_ability for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of your_ability for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Attacking unit)) + 10.00)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of your_ability for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Attacking unit)) + 20.00)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of your_ability for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Attacking unit)) + 30.00)
      • Else - Actions

this works if you want life steal use this just add the level of ability greater than 0.
and modify the ammout of healing.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Attacking unit)) + 10.00)

2 problems with this: 1) attacked unit doesn't have buff at the time of the attack
2) exploitable because the trigger starts when the unit is attacked NOT when the target takes damage + it won't calculate healing based on damage done.

I'll remove the turn on/off trigger and see if it helps.
edit*: Didn't work, the attacker doesn't get healed only if i switch targets after each attack. Don't get why that is happening.

Use Damage Event (DamageEvent Equal to 1.00):

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/damage-event-1-0-0-0-a-201016

It works the same as "Unit is attacked" however fires when the unit
takes damage not when a unit begins attacking it.

"DamageEventSource" is the one who will benefit from the life steal.

Thx a lot, i'll try it.


edit* Problem Solved; added a 0.05 delay after the conditions in the 2nd trigger.
