Need help with these spells

[Wasabee]

I'm working on my wood elf ranger abilities but i couldn't find a way to make it more.

Buckshot - Innate Passive
Enemies below 10% HP take 5% more damage from the Night Elf Ranger.

Smokescreen - Area Target
Covers an area in smoke, which increases the damage taken by all units inside from ranged and magical attacks for a few seconds. If the Wood Elf Ranger stays in the area while in Meld, the ability temporarily goes into a halt.
Range: 600
Cooldown: Above Average-Average
Notes: Scales ranged and magical attack damage amplification. Perhaps use a negative valued Elune's Grace for this. Affects all units (even allied ones).

Bull's-eye - No Target
The next attack of the Wood Elf Ranger will not miss and would deal significantly more damage than usual.
Range: 0
Cooldown: Average

I feel like I have seen these before...

Anyway,

Buckshot:
Use a DDS (Damage Detection System)
When a unit takes damage, check if the attacker has the ability Buckshot.
If so, check if the target's health is below 10%.
If both true, set damage = damage X 1.05

Bull's-eye:
This one is extremely complicated but this comes pretty close.
Create a buff when a unit casts Bull's-eye.
Same as above, check when a unit takes damage, and check if the attacker has this buff.
If so, increase the damage.
The miss cannot be removed simply.
At least, the miss that happens by WC3 mechanics.

Smokescreen:
Create a dummy unit at the target location. (the smoke)
Make it have an aura that affects enemy units. (the buff)
When a unit takes damage, increase the damage if the target has that buff.
"If the Wood Elf Ranger stays in the area while in Meld, the ability temporarily goes into a halt." Dunno what you want but it is impossible to check if a unit is in meld form... unless you triggered that one yourself.

 

[Alright]

> The miss cannot be removed simply. At least, the miss that happens by WC3 mechanics.

There is an item in DotA that causes your attacks to never miss, regardless of any cliff level or evasion chance. But it doesn't stack with some attack modifiers (hence it can be toggled off), so I think it may be an orb attack that never misses. I'm not sure which, though, but it's possible.

Time to do some searching.

Edit: Seems like Bash is the only thing that never miss, here's the thread: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/attack-never-miss-225312/

Add a 100% bash with a very low stun (0.01) for one hit.

Then use Critical Strike instead and set multiplier to 1.
Bash interrupts enemy channels etc.

I tried implementing the Physical Damage Detection System and I don't know what's next.
The variables in the conditions are missing.

Make a new trigger.
Make it have the same event except that you use 0 instead of 1 (using 1 is a very big mistake)
Create a condition "PDD_Damage_Type is equal to PDD_PHYSICAL".
Create another condition "PDD_Source has buff "buckshot" equal to true".
And another one "Percentage HP of PDD_Target is lower than or equal to 10".
Make an action "Set PDD_Amount = PDD_Amount X 1.05".

Use "Set PDD_Amount = PDD_Amount X 5.00" to test if it increases the damage at the right moments.

When that one works, smokescreen wouldnt be that hard any more.

 

[Wasabee]

So it just shows how I should implement it on my map?

How do I know it works? Sorry for asking much I'm still a newbie.

 

[Wietlol]

It shows how you can use it... however there are always flaws in Damage Detection Systems because of how limited we are from WC3 Standards.

You can and should remove that ondamage trigger because it is just an example.

 

[Wasabee]

I tried to make it show if it really works with a floating text but none is shown.

                • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(PDD_amount)) above PDD_source with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

                • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.50 seconds
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

 

[Wietlol]

You can put all of them in the same conditions block... and even in the conditions of the trigger.

But for now, keep it like this.
Create a "Game - Display text to Player 1 (Red)" and display some text in every "Else - Actions".

I didn't change anything it was the spell itself but it's fixed.
