Percentage Defence

[ZiGOR]

Hi there!

The problem is very stupid.
In my map I need to create a buff that will give +8%/+12%/+15% armor for 20 minutes.
BUT I don't know how to make a buff that will give Percent armor...

Hero has no base armor and all armor he has is based on agility...btw

any help would be usefull

Devotion Aura has a % armour bonus option.

^The percent bases off in the unit's default armor as far as I know.

Guess there's no other way than to use a custom stat system?

 

[Adiktuz]

yeah, I do believe DA's % bonus is based on base armor only...

This will be easy if you will customize every damage in your map...

If I use a buff that will give an agility equal to some % and take it away if hero dies or time expires?

Any suggestions of how to make it unbugged?

store the amount the buff makes the agi increase into a unit array with unit indexer or a hashtable. ( unit indexer is faster and more efficient)
have a trigger increase when that units agi gets increased by lvl or any other means to reset the buff to the new desired percent.
When buff is lost load the value then remove that much from the unit

Each 1 and 0 armor's point reduces 6% of damage taken.
No have any ability/spell that increases the percentage of unit's armor (IN WARCRAFT III).

No, the damage reduction scales non-linearly with the armor. However the effective hp scales linearly with armor.

The only clean solution to this problem is to trigger all your armor bonuses.

Well, is able to employ the "Game play Constants" to edit the properties of reducing damage taken. But as I say again, I believe that there is NO skill at Blizzard developed for Warcraft III that increases in percentage (eg drive x has 12 armor and now, your armor skill increased by 7%).
What is skills are capable of increasing the amount of reinforcement in certain points. Unless it is drawn by Triggers, Jass and etc..

It's already aforementioned. Devotion Aura.
