[General] Spell Criticals

[Garodar]

Is there such a thing as spell crit in Warcraft 3.... For example, your hero has pasisve Critical strike that has chance to both make your melee and spell attacks crit.

Example, I cast fireball, it crits, and sh!t. How do I make that? Any ideas, cuz I'm n00b?

That would require using DDS (looking for help's one is good).
When you cast spell, detect the damage type and if it is spell, then multiply that damage by desired amount (crit) and apply the damage to the unit(s).
Make sure you avoid infinite loop by putting turn off (this trigger) at the beggining, and turn it back on at the end.

You do not need to use turn off this trigger when using a DDS as they turn it off for you. The added damage is then dealt by the DDS.

Actually, instead of dealing damage you should reduce the life by damage. That way you don't need to worry about that.

As far as I am aware every single DDS doesn't have a function that change the damage.

I would prefer it it was trigger displayed then just explained. Even if I do, I don't want my spells to have 100% crit chance, more like 50%, or 25%. Not an insta crit.

 

[deathismyfriend]

crit chances are easy. You use a random integer from 1 to 100.
If higher than 75 deal damage. That is a 25 % chance.

 

[mogulkhan1Axe]

or less than 25 > deal damage.. same stuff

 

[Garodar]

Yea, but still, I never done that kinda stuff.. If its easy, anyone can display here how to do it?

Something like this (25% chance)

Trigger

• Spell Crit
  • Events
    • Game - PDD_damageEventTrigger becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • PDD_damageType Equal to PDD_SPELL
  • Actions
    • Set RANDOMRealVariable = (Random real number between 1.00 and 100.00)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RANDOMRealVariable Less than or equal to 25.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Set PDD_amount = (PDD_amount x DamageMultiply)
      • Else - Actions

Now the DamageMultiply real is how much the crit damage is. In my case its set to 75%

• Set DamageMultiply = 1.75

u set that in some Map initialization trigger
How ever u will need DDS from looking_for_help. Its easy to use

EDIT: Why i used real for chance and not integer is that u can use chances like 22.5 or 13.2% chances

 

[Garodar]

What variable is PDD_amount? Is it integer, or what? Same as damagemiltiplay? its integer*

 

[mogulkhan1Axe]

PDD_amount is a variable in system that i linked u..You will need that to find if the damage is from spells or attack.
You must have that system to make this work

Actually looking for help's does.
