Percentages

[Devalut]

im trying to make a spell that damages the units max health by 10%
and heals the caster for the total damage inflicted by the spell

(targeted units max hp 1000 - 10% = 100, caster gets healed for 10% of the target's health.)

You will need a system with negative tomes to lower the max HP of the unit. The maths is simple otherwise.

Get the max life of the unit (real) and multiply it by 0.1 to get the damage (we will call this power).
Then lower target units max life by power using the system (if you mean to just damage the unit, then make the caster damage the unit with power damage).
Set the caster's current HP to the caster's current HP + power (reheal).

Never mind, figured it out.
thanks for the idea Dr super good

• Leech life
• Events -
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an Ability
• Conditions -
  • (Ability being cast) is equal to Leech life
• Actions -
  • Set LL_caster to = (casting unit)
  • Set LL_target to = (target of ability being cast)
  • Unit - Set life of LL_target to ((Percentage life of LL_target) - 10)%
  • Unit - Set life of LL_caster to ((Life of LL_caster) + (Max life of LL_target) / 10))

Btw this trigger with typing thing is cool, i didn't think i could make a complete replica

You COULD also just set a real to be the life drained, it would simplify the proces a great deal.

 

[Devalut]

But how would of set the variable?
i tried setting it once to like damage taken but it was always a random number.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Nah, set the real to max life of target / 10. It'll do. the 'damage taken' is an event response referring to the event 'unit takes damage'.

Just to explain what DSG was saying:

He thought you wanted to damage the 'max hp' as in 'loosing potential hp'.

What you wanted to do was simply damaging.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Uuuh... i didn't get your post, blooddancer. I understood it as he wanted the ability to damage maximum life of the target, what his trigger also does, even though it's a bit complicated.

 

[Devalut]

Nah, set the real to max life of target / 10. It'll do. the 'damage taken' is an event response referring to the event 'unit takes damage'.

is the unit's max life without the variable suffice?

• Unit - Set life of LL_caster to ((life of LL_caster) + ((Max life of LL_target) / 10)

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

It is. But, it'll look better, and is more easily understandable, and'll also clean up your triggering, and improve your programming language. But no actual effect whatsoever.

 

[Devalut]

ah i see alright thanks for the help

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

great to help!
