Need Help: Calculate damage

[Annihilus]

I need some help from some experienced fella. I've been making maps for 2 years now and I'm able to guess out most of dota's triggers in GUI. However, i can't seem to understand how Amphrotic Shield (Lord of Avernus) works and how can I calculate damage taken by an attack or a spell so I can store it in a variable.
Any help would be really thankful.
And please tell me ONLY if you know how to do it in GUI, I'm not used 100% to JASS yet so don't even mention it.

Too bad, since it can only be made in JASS(like all dota spells are)

okz then can you give any script that does that?

 

[Diablo-dk]

If you are not familiar with jass it will be hard, as damage detecing for shield abilities requires local triggers. but you could try look at an open version of DotA, there you can find all the spells.

As my sig says:
Dont be an ass, learn jass.

The problem is that it took me so much time to learn GUI well and I don't have the time to spend the same to learn Jass. Anyways thnx for the help.

I had known GUI for even longer time before i started on jassing.
it is MUCH easier to learn jass when you already have alot of GUI knowledge.
Try to read some tutorials, some day you might understand it.

wtf are you smoking Diablo-DK, you don't need local triggers for that... just create a Any unit takes damage trigger, if unit takes damage and has Aphotic Shield buff, heal it asap >_>

 

[Diablo-dk]

Making an Any unit takes damage event isn't like eating cherry pie, and using that much effort would be wasted.(also aphotic shield actually havent got a buff^^) and heal it asap doesent work, you need a damage modify function, else it wont work when the unit has full hp.
and btw, a proper Any unit takes damage system uses local triggers.

Any Unit Takes Damage in GUI leaks evilly.

Anyways, I made a script for this a while back when someone asked the same question -- the SuperSecretSearchSystem helps
