Unit - Damage Target with percentage

[Darxy]

Is it possible to somehow put percentage in this instead of only raw damage?

So instead of 1x1, I'd like to put something like 10%

The reason I am not using thorns aura is because it only affects melee units.

So you mean you don't want to damage the unit with raw damage fully, but with percentage-lowered raw damage ? You need a damage detection system, because the editor doesn't directly support detecting raw damage :/

You're gonna have to use DDS, as above mentioned. Then you will only have to change the damage variable to ("DamageVariable" x (0.20)). This will change the damage variable to deal 20% of full damage.

From the image you posted:

Click the 1.00 at the left side, right under the variable category there should be a function category, find "unit - percentage life",
Click the 1.00 at the right side, change it to 0.10,

at final state it should look like this.

(Percentage life of (attacking unit)) x 0.10

He meant to deal 10% of the damage taken.

Making 10% is easy but you need a base to take the 10% from.
In your spell, you want the damage taken to be the 10%.
You can use a DDS to simulate that.

Really simply you just need to multiply the damage done by the equivalent multiplier for percentage. Like if you want to REDUCE to 10%, you do x*0.10. If you want to ADD 10%, you do x*1.10.

No need for a DDS.

If you need a more dynamic percentage, like say you want to plug in the percentage whenever you want, you'll need a small function that will determine which of two formulas to use. One will be for reducing and one will be for multiplying. So say you want to plug in 50% where it's adding 50% extra damage, you just need to do 50/100+1. If you want to reduce by 50%, you have another one where you DON'T have the +1. This way, you can have a variable set the percentage you want to use whenever you want dynamically.

@Shadow Flux
He said reduce TO 10% and not reduce BY 10%.

@aple
He wants 10% of the damage taken... which requires a DDS or other damage system.

This is the simplest and most useful solution to my problem. Thank you.

And, sorry if I didn't make myself clear enough, I wanted units to lose X% of their life points when they attack a certain unit. Not to be reduced to X%.

Sorry for double post but I have another question:
Is it possible to make it so that you can not cancel your attack when you attack unit? The problem is that this trigger triggers as soon as you right click the unit (to attack it) and attacking unit takes that damage even before it fired the missile (depends on unit's animation) which lets you cancel it, if you want.
This is a minor and basically non-existent problem concerning my case, but in some other case it might cause some problems.
The question is: Is it possible to fix that without making DDS? ( Probably not but I'm asking anyways )

Use a DDS or Basic Attack Simulator.

If you want to be unable to cancel your attacks (for example to be used by a taunt), you can only do that using a proper Basic Attack Simulator.
However in this case, it is not that recommended to make you unable to cancel it.

So yes it is possible without DDS (something that I dont use in maps that I make), but you require something even more powerfull than that and my Basic Attack Simulator requires a proper stat system.

Ok,ty, I got what I wanted to know.
