[Spell] Percent Decrease for Armor and Mana Regen

[pterryz]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a skill that when activated, the enemy units being attacked by the caster will have their armor decreased by 25% and their mana regen stopped for a certain duration.

I can only find spells that has a direct amount of armor reducer and abilities that decrease the enemy units reduce their mana regen.

I've been trying to trying to trigger it but seems impossible. For mana regen it
s really difficult since each unit has their own mana regen rate.

You can periodically set mana to the value it was before if the mana is increased.

Yes, I know this, the problem is how to initialize it? Each unit has their own value for their mana.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.25 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set mana_real = (Mana of (Your Unit))
    • Unit - Set mana of (Your Unit) to mana_real

You can probably use Custom Stat System for the armor part.

You can use a real array variable and then unit indexer from spell database.

Thanks! Yeah I get the idea... but seems it's too complicated for me to implement


@Prodigy: That won't work if there are multiple units being attacked by the caster

Prodigy's way can be used. Just need to tweak it into MUI actions . About the armor problems, even if u use custom stat system, u will need to store the armor of ur hero into an integer variable and change it everytime he leveled up, pick drop items which increase armor or agi. I dont think that would be a good idea to do that . But u can change it to cause the damage deal to that unit increased. (By using DDS - Damage Detection System).

Add a negative percent Devotion aura with 0 AOE and Self target to the target unit of the Hero's attack.

I've been trying to trying to trigger it but seems impossible. For mana regen it
s really difficult since each unit has their own mana regen rate.

Brilliance aura can give percent bonus too.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Hmm. He wants it to take a percentage of armor . How can we define that if we didnt trigger the whole armor thing .

@Wrathion:

armor decreased by 25% and their mana regen stopped for a certain duration.

@pterryz:
what I showed was just the trigger that would stop the mana regen of A unit. You can use array variables instead like what maker has said.

 

[Vinz]

Dev aura can give percentage.

 

[Malhorne]

Yes devotion aura can be in percentage but it's a bit strange.
Because i needed to put the value to 3 to decrease the armor of someone of 100% :/

 

[UndeadImmortal]

If it's an active ability with a duration, then use Roar, I believe it has an armor and mana field.

 

[Malhorne]

It has an armor field but not mana i think.

 

[Vinz]

Other variations have.. such as 'Taunt' (?), etc.
Also @Pony he wants the caster's targets to be afflicted by that.

@OP there is a freeze regeneration spell in the Spells section.
Edit: Brilliance Aura that gives negative 100% stops mana regen. -.-
