Tome of damage

[Map Designer]

hello guys,

I am wondering how it is possible to make tome of damage, simply increasing the base damage (not + but the basic damage, like the tomes of str and such) of the hero by X when picked, like any other tomes.

any idea?

Make an ability based on Item Damage Bonus, and give it many levels.

When the tome is picked up, if the hero doesn't have this ability, give it to them. If they already have the ability, increase its level by one.

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Tome of Strength
  • Actions
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Hero manipulating item): Add 10

Make sure the Tome of Strength has "Perishable - True" and "Use automatically when aquired - True". That will consume the tome as soon as you pick it up, and the trigger will permanently increase the base strength of your hero.

Alternatively

Alternatively, if you want it to remain in your inventory and the bonus to be lost when it leaves your inventory, set perishable and use automatically to false and add this trigger:

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Tome of Experience
  • Actions
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Hero manipulating item): Subtract 10

This is a good way to go about this, but just know that it will cause a short lag if the item hasn't been preloaded at initialization. So I suggest in the beginning of map init, have a dummy unit buy this item and remove the unit afterwards.

EDIT: I misunderstood OP's post, use upgrades and have the owning player's damage upgrade increase for the buying unit.

No, use the ability that a damage tome uses? There is one iirc.

there is an item ability called "Item Permanent Damage Gain"
take tome of str, remove item str gain and replace it with this ability
