spell enhancement -> bonus damage

[Ale_tuskarr]

Hi, I need some help with this:

I have a 3 lvl hero spell called <Firebolt>
I also have a 1 lvl hero spell called <Improved Firebolt>

I want the <Improved Firebolt> spell to give a damage bonus to my <Firebolt> equal to 5% of my hero's current Intelligence.

How can I do that?

Also, how can I make a specific buff dissapear from a target unit when it is damaged by a certain spell

you could check if the hero has this improved firebolt spell skilled, and then replace your old firebolt spell with another one, that does no dmg, so you can calculate the total dmg + your 5% that the spell does. Get the Hero stats via trigger, and also do the damage via trigger to it, there's no other way.

hmm there should be some trigger that can remove buffs from unit, else create a dummy unit that casts silence to the unit, if you only want to remove one specific buff, call some other dummies that spell the before removed buffs, the one you wanna keep, again on the unit. ( if there's no directly trigger for it in GUI)

:s how do I get the stats via trigger?

i have a cool way to do this:

base it on channel

make a dummy unit firebolt the target (set level of firebolt to level of firebolt on caster), set dummys custom value to [casters int x level spell x 0.05 ] and add the event [target] takes damage to another trigger that checks the unit type of damage source and deals damage based on its custom value. then remove the event you created.

What about the normal firebolt's normal damage? That would stack, meaning normal firebolt damage + improved firebolt damage.

WOW this is great stuff over here wait so I can try them.

The wait = not MUI. And unless he's using a slow projectile/very long range it won't matter too much. Also, adding the base damage through triggers assumes that his base spell does no damage and he doesn't have a trigger to deal damage with it...
