Trying to create custom aura, Need help

[Carantir]

So, I was trying to create a custom aura passively dealing X amounts of damage and healing friendly units standing near hero for YZ% of damage taken by hero using aura, I don't have much experience in doing such things so I got stuck at this. ( there should be screenshot uploaded with post ).
Any help?

if you want to use comes in range of...
you need an group which contains the targets.
Periodicöy loop the targets, check for still in range, affected unit alive, source alive ....
Deal dmg to enemies sum the life difference = damage dealt up
calc healing
Heal allies in the group.

if you want to use % of damage taken you will also need a damage detection system. while of course possible, you have chosen sth pretty difficult to learn things like that

If you want x amount damage taken you can maybe use a modified unholy aura as base and add a hidden aura for your friendly units

Usually I do auras using Periodic Events in my triggers, and I do it in good old MUI.
Just make it deal damage to enemies every X seconds (1 sec most likely).

Damage Engine is easy to use, and it will allow you to get that instance of Hero receiving damage.

When a hero who has this aura receives damage - heal all nearby allies for a percentage of that damage taken.
This way the spell won't heal allies every second, but instead it will heal them every time the hero gets damaged.

Another option is to store that damage being taken in a special variable, and when the loop trigger ticks - all allies are healed by a percentage of that variable.


I'll probably make this spell and post it here some time in the future.

I've tried to do this according to what Tasyen, UreDe4D and xlSLx posted here and managed to do that.
Current issues are :
I Can't add aura to hero skillsm,
I don't know did trigger dealing damage is working ( due to first problem )
Any help?

I would let the grafic effect be played by real aura skills or at dmg/healing.
This solution works only if you give this skill to only 1 hero, for multiple units an other way of approaching is appropriated.

How To Post Your Trigger

Thank you Taysen, aura is now working finally, the only issue that left is that it doens't require from hero to learn unholy aura and just deals damage since map is being launched.
This is how it looks, I've did everything as you pointed yet I still have the problem that there is no way to make learning unholy aura a requirement.
What shall I try to fix this now?
( I was trying to post trigger but Polish letters in trigger text were bugging code editor so I decided to upload ( another ) screenshot instead ).

 

[Tasyen]

there are this 2 checkboxes over the comment box, one diables the current selected trigger completly ( x out triggers); the other turns it off at the beginning ( greyed transperent) until turned on, which we do at learning the skill.

 

[Carantir]

Aura is now fully working without any problems or bugs.
thx Taysen.
