powering up spells

[Xzife_TD01]

Is there a way to make it so certain items will directly increase the effectiveness of a spell already owned by its owner? Like have an item called Gloves of Fire Mastery, and have it increase the damage of a Fireball spell by 15 when worn or anything similar?

Someone tell me that it uses the engineering ability of the tinker.

I think the best way to do this would be to manually code an ability.
For example..

• Fireball
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Firebolt (Neutral Hostile)
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Claws of Attack +15) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set FireballDamage = ((50.00 + (30.00 x (Real((Level of Firebolt (Neutral Hostile) for (Triggering unit)))))) + 15.00)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set FireballDamage = ((50.00 + (30.00 x (Real((Level of Firebolt (Neutral Hostile) for (Triggering unit)))))) + 0.00)
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing FireballDamage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

or an MUI version (i think)

function Fireball_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'ANfb'
endfunction

function Trig_Fireball_Copy_Func001C takes nothing returns boolean
    return UnitHasItemOfTypeBJ(GetTriggerUnit(), 'ratf') == true
endfunction

function Trig_Fireball_Copy_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local real FireballDamage
    if ( Trig_Fireball_Copy_Func001C() ) then
        set FireballDamage = ( ( 50.00 + ( 30.00 * I2R(GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('ANfb', GetTriggerUnit())) ) ) + 15.00 )
    else
        set FireballDamage = ( ( 50.00 + ( 30.00 * I2R(GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('ANfb', GetTriggerUnit())) ) ) + 0.00 )
    endif
    call UnitDamageTargetBJ( GetTriggerUnit(), GetSpellTargetUnit(), FireballDamage, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function Fireball takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Fireball_Copy = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Fireball_Copy, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Fireball_Copy, Condition( function Fireball_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Fireball_Copy, function Fireball_Actions )
endfunction

that wont be necessary, you can make a trigger that will deal extra damage

the Unit - Cause (triggering unit) to damage (target unit of ability being cast) trigger


and trigger that when the unit uses a "fire" ability if it has the Certain item.

huh, i thought for sure it would involve the object editor somehow, i guess not. Thanks for the help!
