Passive "Defend"

[ndh]

Hello Hive Dwellers

Would appreciate it if someone could make me an ability/trigger that gives unit A a 35% chance to completely block an attack, and unit B a 15% chance to block an attack completely as well.

Something like this...

Unit A:

Ability name:
Tower Shield

Description:
This unit is carrying a Tower Shield, giving it a 35% chance to block an attack made against it.

Unit B:

Ability name:
Buckler

Description:
This unit is carrying a Buckler, giving it a 15% chance to block an attack made against it.

Both abilities should be Passive please

It does not need trigger, at all, you just need to base your ability from Hardened Skin and here we go:
Data - Ignored Damage: Set to most highest value you can go (99999)
Data - Chance to Reduce Damage (%): 35 for Unit A and 15 for Unit B
Data - Minimum Damage: 0

Thanks!

Question!
ahh couldnt you just use evasion and then just change the interface message from "miss"
to "block"?

 

[defskull]

Because perhaps his map contains another evasion-like ability that he don't want to mess up with.
So he can have 2 method to block/evade a physical damage, via Block Damage or fully Evade.

 

[SonicFlare101]

true
i didnt think of that

but if he didnt have an evasion and he only wanted block it would work right?

 

[defskull]

It would work + looks badass

 

[SonicFlare101]

what do you meen?

 

[defskull]

Oh, you're thirteen, forgive me for that vulgar words... for you.
It means that it would look awesome (did I use a correct word this time? ;p) if "block" would appear as the unit actually evades the oncoming attack, it would look more nicer than usual, you know compared to the ol` 'miss' thingy.

 

[SonicFlare101]

sorry for not understanding
awsome is fine

 

[ndh]

Thanks guys for some more ideas . That evasion idea is a great one, will try it out and see how it looks

 

[SonicFlare101]

kk
im glad i could help

 

[ndh]

The evasion worked, the hardened skin didn't, or at least for me it didn't.

 

[SonicFlare101]

i like simple things and ill be glad to share my simple tricks with other people
i have to use simple things anyway cause i generaly dont like asking older people to help me make triggers.
so with spells they arnt usualy trigger based.

just use a hardened skin ability then change to the max damage to be blocked by max(although,it just block physical damage)

LoL and you would think magic would be affected by "miss" too ?
Same lol.

Evade = Hardened Skin

Just, evade has extra cool effect such as "miss" text can be changed to "blocked" etc.

 

[SonicFlare101]

so.
say a fireball comes out of the sky because a mage cast it your shield aint gonna help you

 

[ndh]

Imo, a shield should be able to block magic.... but anyways, i am using evade, and changed the text to Blocked!. But was hoping to make a parry ability using hardened skin or some other ability, just don't know how to yet.

 

[SonicFlare101]

Parry?
as in a repel?

 

[ndh]

Parry, as in you block an attack with a melee weapon (can only parry melee attacks)

 

[.VTZ.]

hmm
so how can i create a special effect when it procs?

 

[ndh]

Not sure, but for the evade all i had to do was change the "art - caster" model to whatever i wanted. I would asume it would be the same for the hardened skin or whatever ability you are using.
