(Request!) New Mana Burn

[constellcreate]

It would be nice if anyone can help me with this trigger, credits will be given of course.


Mana Burn:

Sends a bolt of negative energy that burns a target enemy unit's life and mana by 5 times the target's intelligence. Stuns the target for 2 second if its mana is depleted to 0.


Note:
-Burns the same amount of mana burned to life.
-Stun target if mana is burned to 0.

If you're requesting for somone to make this for you it belongs in the request zone, not the World Editor Help Zone.

 

[constellcreate]

Actually I am more interested in knowing how to make it instead of having someone directly make it for me. Thanks anyways I didn't catch the request Section in the Forum.

This could be made really easily ^^

If you use the regular mana drain spell, just null it

• Events
  • Unit uses an ability
• Conditions
  • Ability = mana drain
• Action
  • If then else multiple function
    • Conditions
      • Mana of Targeted unit greater than = Arithmatic((Intelect of casting) unit x5)
    • Then
      • Unit - Set mana of targeted unit to arithmatic(mana of targeted unit - Arithmatic(intelect of Casting unit) x5))
      • Else
        • Unit - Set mana of unit targeted unit = 0
        • Set TargetMoveSpeed = unit movment speed
        • Unit - set movement speed = 0
        • Wait 2 seconds
        • Unit - set movement speed = TargetMoveSpeed

Thats just with out looking at triggers just doing it in my head, but you should be able to get something like that to work.

A bit of math and logic for the mana burn part and if/then/else dummy order to stormbolt for the stun part.

This shouldn't be so hard to make

since i have time I'll write up the process:

-Event units starts the effect of an ability
-Condition ability being cast...
-Actions
Set all the needed variables here:
Caster = triggering unit [unit]
Target = targeted unit of ability being cast [unit]
Damage factor = 5 [real]
Attribute = intelligence of Caster [integer]
Damage = Damage factor x Attribute [real]
Dummy ability = storm bolt [ability]
Current mana = current mana of Target
-------
Execution:

set mana of Target to mana of Target - Damage [unit - set mana to value]

if

Current mana is less than or equal to Damage

then

cause Caster to damage Target dealing Current mana damage [damage unit]

else


cause Caster to damage Target dealing Damage damage [damage unit]

If/Then/else

If
mana of Target is equal to 0 [integer]
Then
set Loc = position of Target

 

[axleion]

-------
Execution:

cause Caster to damage Target dealing Damage damage [damage unit]
set mana of Target to mana of Target - Damage [unit - set mana to value]

ehm.... shouldn't it be the mana is reduced first, and then check how much it is reduced, and then deals the damage?
something like this:

set CurMana = Mana of Target
set mana of Target to CurMana - Damage
cause Caster to damage Target dealing CurMana - (Mana of Target) damage

.....

something like this:

set CurMana = Mana of Target
set mana of Target to CurMana - Damage
cause Caster to damage Target dealing CurMana - (Mana of Target) damage

.....

Oh yes, the amount of damage should be equal to amount of mana burned... I'll edit the upper post.

 

[axleion]

set mana of Target to mana of Target - Damage [unit - set mana to value]

Set Target mana = Target 's max mana - current mana - Damage [real]
cause Caster to damage Target dealing Target mana damage [damage unit]

I think this still not right...
let me give an example:
there is a hero with 1000 max mana, for some reason it has only 500 mana left.
you cast manaburn on it, and the manaburn will burns 100 mana of it.
therefore, the hero should end with 400 mana and takes 100 damage from it, isn't?

now if we use your formula:
==>Set Target mana = Target 's max mana - current mana - Damage
cause Caster to damage Target dealing Target mana damage [damage unit]
==>Set Target mana = 1000 - 400 (because we already reduce the mana) - 100 (the damage)
that Target mana will be 500, and based on your function, it will deal this 500 damage instead of 100 damage.

EDIT:
well I'm managed to make the trigger btw:

• New Mana Burn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mana Burn
  • Actions
    • Set CASTER = (Casting unit)
    • Set TARGET = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set MANA = (Mana of TARGET)
    • Set DAMAGE = (5.00 x (Real((Intelligence of TARGET (Include bonuses))))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • DAMAGE Greater than or equal to MANA
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of TARGET to 0
        • -------- make the stun part here --------
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of TARGET to (MANA - DAMAGE)
    • Unit - Cause CASTER to damage TARGET, dealing (MANA - (Mana of TARGET)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

that's the base of it...

 

[-Berz-]

I said I can't think ATM and that the formula may be incorrect

 

[constellcreate]

I thank you ALL who posted and helped me here. Actually most of your posts are similar to the test i get. But my result was this:

When the hero was mana burned to 0, it is not stunned by the dummy, however, when the same hero is burned the second time, it is stunned. I am sure theres some kind of leak there.

• Mana Burn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mana Burn
  • Actions
    • Set Burn_Caster = (Casting unit)
    • Set Burn_Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set Burn_Damage = ((Real((Intelligence of Burn_Target (Include bonuses)))) x ((Real((Level of Burn for Burn_Caster))) + 2.00))
    • Unit - Cause Burn_Caster to damage Burn_Target, dealing Burn_Damage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Set mana of Burn_Target to ((Mana of Burn_Target) - Burn_Damage)

Yes my spell base is Chain Lightning to start with, after knowing that using mana burn would give me a "-0" when i cast it on heroes. But as mentioned, the only trouble i have is the secondary effect. I want to stun the target WHEN it reach 0 mana from this spell and not because ITS already 0 mana when spell is begin casted. This part have been bugging me before i even start the test and it was my only problem after doing this experiment. It's more complicated as i thought lol.

    • Unit - Set mana of Burn_Target to ((Mana of Burn_Target) - Burn_Damage)

hmmm.... how 'bout right after you set the mana of Burn_Target, you check if the mana is zero or not by using:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Mana of Burn_Target equal to 0

 

[-Berz-]

Do as I said in my firsts post here.

Give me a minute and I'll try to figure out that damage thing.

Ok, got it.

Before you "burn the mana" store Current mana of Target, then make another if/then/else that would check if mana is less than Damage, and if it is, cause Caster to damage Target dealing Stored mana damage.

Edit: No that wouldn't work... Man this one is tricky :>

Edit: Or it would, yes that would work I guess (seems logical to me)

Edited the first of my post in this thread.

 

[Damage]

hmmm.... how 'bout right after you set the mana of Burn_Target, you check if the mana is zero or not by using:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Mana of Burn_Target equal to 0

Would probably be better to use:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Mana of Burn_Target less than or equal to 0.5

Just to avoid the hero regenerating say 0.01 mana before the check comes in (has happened before to my own triggers).
Less than 0.5 mana will display on the unit's bar as 0 anyway, so the user can't tell the difference.

 

[-Berz-]

I doubt mana can be 0.5, maybe 1 since it's an integer.
Anyway it's an instant cast, so 0 should do it.

Edit:

Anyway I had time and I've made this spell =)

 

[tml616]

mana and life are reals, not integers

 

[axleion]

mana and life are reals, not integers

yes indeed, mana and hitpoint are real.

 

[-Berz-]

Yeh, my bad :/

Anyway, if anyone have noticed I've attached a made spell to my previous post.

Edit:

There is a bug in spell I've submitted, here is an updated version with some improvements.
