[General] Spell Shield using GDD

[Fakuspakus]

It works properly but if Hero is at 100% hp, he will still take damage.
How can I fix it?

• Events
  • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • (GDD_DamagedUnit has buff Shield ) Equal to True
    • GDD_DamageSource Equal to DamageTypeMagic[(Player number of (Owner of GDD_DamageSource))]
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = GDD_DamagedUnit
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • AbilityValue1_Real[(Player number of (Owner of Caster))] Greater than or equal to GDD_Damage
      • Then - Actions
        • Set AbilityValue1_Real[(Player number of (Owner of Caster))] = (AbilityValue1_Real[(Player number of (Owner of Caster))] - GDD_Damage)
        • Unit - Set life of Caster to ((Life of Caster) + (GDD_Damage - 0.00))
        • Set GDD_Damage = 0.00
      • Else - Actions
        • Set AbilityValue1_Real[(Player number of (Owner of Caster))] = (AbilityValue1_Real[(Player number of (Owner of Caster))] - GDD_Damage)
        • Unit - Set life of Caster to ((Life of Caster) + (GDD_Damage - AbilityValue1_Real[(Player number of (Owner of Caster))]))
        • Set GDD_Damage = 0.00
        • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_Caster ,'B008')

If I understand your problem correctly, the problem occurs when ((life of unit before damage) + (damage taken)) > (max healt of unit). You need to use a trick with damage bonus ability, not sure if there is another way.

• Damage Block Tricky Event
  • Events
    • Game - Your damage event
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add BLOCK LIFE BONUS (Greater) to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + (Damage taken))
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to DamageBlockGroup
    • Countdown Timer - Start DamageBlockTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds

• Damage Block Tricky Callback
  • Events
    • Time - DamageBlockTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in DamageBlockGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove BLOCK LIFE BONUS (Greater) from (Picked unit)
    • Unit Group - Remove all units from DamageBlockGroup

Edit: A better thing to do is, in damage event trigger, first you should check if (life of unit) + (damage taken) <= max health. If yes simply increase life of the unit, if no use this trick.

Is it dumb to use local caster with low value wait instead?

If you mean wait before remove life bonus ability instead of timer, a problem will occur if unit takes another damage during wait. Or if you mean wait a low amount of time before increase unit's health, there is a chance your unit may die if you do not block damage immediately.

Use bribes dds instead. It has support for this

Does it work for you on this patch?
I am getting "level info data missing or invalid"

I have not used wc3 in a while so I can not 100% confirm.
Check the latest comments, if they are positive it should most likely work.

I'm using the latest patch and latest DDS. Works fine.

Every map with this DDS gives me the same error so the problem is on my side

This is ver of my wc3, pretty sure its updated

You may want to reinstall your WarCraft 3 as it should definitely work. Also make sure you're using the World Editor installed with WC3 and not NewGen or WEU or something.

Also, your WC3 is not up to date. Should be 1.31.something
