[Spell] Make Death Pact ignore Resistant Skin?

[Homor]

Pretty much what it says on the tin. I have a map where you can upgrade your units to have resistant skin, but is renders Death Pact a useless ability once you get it. Any way to make Death Pact ignore Resistant Skin and work on my units anyway?

Well, it's a pretty easy ability to trigger yourself, if that will work:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Death Pact (new)
• Actions
  • Set Variable DeathPactMultiplier = (1.00 * (Real(Level of (Ability being cast) for (Casting unit)))
  • Unit - Set Life of (Casting unit) to (Life of (Casting unit) + (Life of (Target unit of ability being cast) * DeathPactMultiplier))
  • Unit - Kill (Target unit of ability being cast)

DeathPactMultiplier is a Real variable.

The next step would be to find an ability that suits your needs. A customized Channel comes to mind.

As Uncle alludes to: one of the Channel options will allow you to cast on magic-immune/resistant units. Universal cast I think? Alternatively you could flag the Death Pact ability as an ultimate, since ultimates ignore immunity/resistance as well.

Interesting! How do I flag an ability as an ultimate?

Go to the ability you want to bypass magic immunity.
Find the "Stats - Hero Ability" and set it to true.
Find the "Stats - Required Level" and set it to 6.
Find the "Stats - Hero Ability" and set it to false.
