silence specific abilities

[Aiun]

Hello, I have an ability that adds lifesteal and silences the same unit. The issue is, life steal is also silenced.
Can I somehow prevent it?
Maybe something along the lines of
ability group - pick every ability that belongs to triggering unit and
if picked ability =/= lifesteal
disable ability

But I can't find ability group, only player and unit

It seems to say here that auras don't get silenced. so you can base the lifesteal off of the dreadlord aura.

Damage Engine, install it and make this trigger:

  • Events
    • Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • (DamageEventTarget has buff Vampiric Aura) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (DamageEventSource is A melee attacker) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of DmgEvUnit to ((Life of DamageEventTarget) + (DamageEventAmount x 0.15))
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of DmgEvUnit to ((Life of DamageEventTarget) + (DamageEventAmount x 0.05))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of DamageEventSource using Abilities\Spells\Undead\VampiricAura\VampiricAuraTarget.mdl

Is it possible to find out damage amount without damage engine?

Of course, but the engine makes it way simpler.

Is it possible to do ot with GUI? As far as I understand, I need to reduce base damage of attacking unit by defence % of attacked unit, but how can I do that? I've only seen armor rating in values not % of damage negation. And I need to make it so that it checks whether attacked unit has resistant skin and reduce the damage by that amount. Is that all?

Wait are you referring to doing it without Damage Engine or with it?

Without damage engine ofc, but I can find the damage source with series of triggers I've come up with in thread mentioned by you above.

 

[Devalut]

Then the resulting damage should be already the final amount AFTER armor, reductions, and all that noise.
But you are really shooting yourself in the foot, damage engine is pretty game changing.

It only checks who attacked and who the killer is, it does not calculate damage dealt.

nvm, I've found it

detecting damage in GUI is easy. all you need is a bit of custom script to add the event.

here the neutrals are added separately because "all players" for some reason doesn't contain them

just out of curiosity, why don't you want to use damage engine? it will take you only a few minutes to figure out how to use, and it adds a ton of utility .

I don't want to use things that I don't understand and I don't have time to learn code.
Anyway, with triggers I've made before I've managed to make my own little damage system without code.

 

[Cheshire]

no code needed. all GUI.
