Setting a max value to the amount of healead life

Hello dear community,

i've made a spell in GUI that damages all units around the hero. In addition it heals the hero for 10% of the damage dealt. My problem is, if there are too many units then he has too much self heal...so i wanted that he can heal hisself only to a specified amount. The amount should be: 50/75/100/125/150.

Example to understand my problem:

There are 5 units around the hero; the hero deals 150 damage; 10% of that damage is 15 damage, but since there are 5 units he heals himself for 75 Hitpoints (5 units x 15 dmg). But i want that the maximal cap is 50!

Now my question is: how can i set the maximal healed life?

Thank you in advance!

It would be best if you posted your trigger here, so we can actually see how are you performing your task.

I'm pretty sure you're using GUI action: Unit - Damage Target (...) within groupenum (Pick Every Unit). If so, store the total amount of damage dealt via real variable and after the iteration is done, just do simple math and use Real Condition within If/Then/Else statement to check if your heal-value exceeds cap. If so, use the level-dependant cap instead of calculated value.

and if the heal-value exceeds the cap? then it will happen nothin? pls tell/show me how do you mean this
