[JASS] Quick Question! +2 rep to all helpers!

Is there any way to apply a ability effect to a unit without having a dummy unit applying it?

Example of ability effects:
Increases damage by x% for xSeconds.
Reduce damage taken by x%.
Invisibility like Wind Walk.

How about you add all those said abilities ?
Increases damage by x% for xSeconds. - Command Aura
Reduce damage taken by x%. - Berserk (make it negative value to reduce damage taken)
Invisibility like Wind Walk. - Permanent Invisibility

But remember, that this method just add an ability to that unit, it does not apply a buff, therefore, you should handle all the duration all by yourselves, luckily I have created a system named Temporary Ability which will add ability to a unit with a certain duration.

Together with this system, you can achieve the desired effect - without needing a dummy to apply those buffs.

Show me an example of a damage handling trigger and how it could make the damaged unit take 10% less damage please?

 

[defskull]

I edited the post, read again, it uses Berserk with negative value (which in your case, you should set it to -0.10 for 10% reduced damage taken).

 

[Sverkerman]

Berserk needs to be activated in order to be applied. Is there any way to apply it to a unit that is being controlled by a player without that player being able to turn it off or cause it not to be casted when I want it to?

Okay ... challenged accepted.
Use Spiked Carapace as base ability and set the "Data - Received Damage Factor" to -1.00

EDIT:
Apparently it only affect Melee Units...

Bah, just use Damage Handling System, you can use Bribe's - able to negate/modify damage received by a unit.

@defskull
No, actually Spiked Carapace does the trick. Thank you for the help defskull. +2rep to you!

 

[Sverkerman]

EDIT: If I set "Data - Received Damage Factor" to -1.00 doesn't that increase damage taken by 100% instead of 10%?
Wouldn't -0.10 be 10%?

 

[defskull]

Haha I meant to block fully damage, sorry :/
Yeah, it's -0.10.

 

[Sverkerman]

Thank you for your assistance, defskull.

@defskull
We got a problem. Spiked Caparace seems to not do shit even tho I'm playing around with Recieved Damage Factor.
EDIT: Nvm, I just implemented the system developed by Bribe and I'm loving it! Thank you for all the help you've provided me with Defskull! I owe you one

 

[defskull]
