[Trigger] Spell Shield and damage trigger

[Saishy]

Ok, I did some tests and found that the damage trigger don't release active spell shield, and still damage the unit.

How can I make the damage trigger be considered an true spell? Or make an ability deal variable damage >.<?

I'm using attack type: Spells and damage type: Magic
This don't damage magic immunity units, but isn't blocked by spell shield.

You can use Damage type: Spell. Not Magic. Magic is what Sorceress/priest etc attacks with.

There isn't damage type spell ¬¬
Also, if I put anything different than magic, its not considered spell damage.

Just a second.

Say what?

Mh you can create an abilty like deathfinger which has ~5000 levels... (not sure if that is possible)
then you set the first level to damage = 1
the second damage = 2

and then let the we fill the rest...

Then you use a dummy unit, add the abilty to that unit and set it to the level you want to have damage...

Like you want to deal 500 damage -> set it level 500...

I think that works if it is possible to make such an ability

I can't see DAMAGE TYPE: SPELL there, sorry.

Oh? About ATTACK TYPE: SPELL? Read my post again:

It might sound a bit weird but it will work...

Uhm... But I think its better a solution by triggers...

@DarkAngelAzazel: There is an easier (less bulky) solution, it is similar to your idea, add additional abilities with 9-10 levels each: 1st ability does 1-9, 2nd ability does 10,20,30,etc. 3rd ability does 100,200,300,etc. and so on. This way, it requires significantly less time to load (not loading 5000 levels, loading 40 level to achieve 1-9999 damage) all you have to do is code it so it figures out what levels to set the abilities at.

I used this approach with a "add-damage" trigger of mine.
