Reduce damage taken by a %

[hdm]

(IDK if I already asked this before, I can't find the thread, so probably not. But...)... How to ? Should I use Damage Detection system ? If yes, how could I do this ?

EDIT: Plz, no Jass or vJass (for now).

I really depends on what you mean.
Damage reduced from auto attacks, default spells, custom spells?

You can use Damage Detection System

Use this one! --> Physical Damage Detection by looking_for_help

 

[Chaosy]

use a DDS, should be rather simple for you. Just pick the one you think looks the least jassish I suppose.

If you want it to be an ability on the unit itself, you can use Berserk and put a negative number in "Damage Taken Increase"

If you want it to be an ability that's cast on a unit however, you'll need to use what pred1980 suggested.

Yes, I want for all kind of damage, and as you said I have to use damage detection. but how can I use DD to do this ?

And I use Weep's DDS. For no reason I didin't like bribe one, and I hate Jass vJass, and Weep is jass, and bribe isn't. (wtf, i'm insane)

I think you'll HAVE to use Bribe's or looking_for_helps system as Weep's system is EXTREMELY basic, ONLY does damage detection and does not actually stop or modify damage.

Although if all you ever need to do is just Damage Detection, Weep's is totally the best in the business.

Yeh... I know... I should use DDS... I have DDS, but how can I use DD to reduce the damage taken by %? ... ?

 

[Daffa]

You need to modify the damage manually. DDS comes with API which you can read and understand of how the DDS works.

Did this related to a specific unit or to a specific spell which reduces incoming damages?
I can help with some samples if you would mind answering the above Question.

Using Bribe's, it would be something like this (untested):

• Damage Reduction
  • Events
    • Game - DamageModifierEvent Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • DamageEventTarget Equal to <Your Unit>
  • Actions
    • Set DamageEventAmount = DamageEventAmount - (DamageEventAmount * 0.40)

For example, that would reduce damage by 40%. Let's say <Your Unit> takes 250 damage. 40% of 250 is 100, so the end result is 250 - (0.4*250) = 250 - (100) = 150.

In the end, the unit will take 150 damage instead of 250 damage (a 40% damage reduction). Try it out! You'll be surprised at how powerful these DDS systems can be (and all the fun you can have with them). Read through the "How to use" part, and take a look at the demo map.

If this is for a spell, you can add the unit to a unit group, and then change the condition to check if the unit is in that unit group. When the spell/buff is over, just remove the unit from the unit group and it is all good to go!

This nullifies all damage taken even if the field value is above -1.00. I've tried it before.
