[Spell] Unkillable Ability

[TyDieGuy99]

So I'm fully aware that a unit can be invulnerable, but what I'm trying to execute is the follow:

The unit can't be brought below a certain HP threshold(1%)

What I have right now sort of works but if the attack deals more than the unit's health than the unit dies. Essentially what I'm trying to recreate is Tryndamere's Ultimate from League of Legends, the unit that I'm creating gains bonus stats for missing health. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Use a Damage Detection System, check if the dealt event damage - unit's life > 0. If not, prevent the event damage (set it to 0) and set the unit's HP % to 1%.

Won't it still kill if damage is higher then 1% of unit's HP? (ex. some burst spell)

It won't. Dds allows you to change damage output even before it deals damage to the unit

What did I do wrong here then?

• Unkillable
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of GDD_DamagedUnit) Equal to Hero
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (GDD_Damage - (Life of GDD_DamagedUnit)) Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of GDD_DamagedUnit to 50.00
      • Else - Actions

Use GDD event modifier becomes equal to 1.00. Iirc that is right event.

 

[Fakuspakus]

Hero still dies after changing the modifier to 1.00

You aren’t preventing the damage at all. Units also die when they have 0.405 hp not 0 so you need to use that number in your check.

If (HP - Damage) < 0.406 then
Set Damage = 0.00
Set HP = 50.00

I'm just a little confused for the event part on what exactly is the real value and where do i declare it? As well as retrieving the values of the damage and health. Been a long time since I've touched editor so still a little rusty on things. Here's what i have so far:

Unkillable
Events
Game - Real_Test becomes Equal to 1.00
Conditions
(Unit_DwarvenBerserker has buff Rage of Storms ) Equal to True
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Int_Health_Test - Int_Damage_Test) Less than 1
Then - Actions
Set Int_Damage_Test = 0
Unit - Set life of Unit_DwarvenBerserker to 1.00%
Else - Actions

Why not modify my resource Bone Armor's to suit your needs?
Though it uses Bribe's Damage Engine you can reach the same result by adding in the condition to check the unit's current life.

I'm not familiar with how GDD works since I lasted used it but if I recall correctly it doesn't protect unit's below a the damage threshold, this is usually done by giving the damaged unit in question a massive health bonus temporarily and then removing it after the damage has been dealt.

Very close, tydieguy, just need to use the variables from the damage engine you're using. Also: How To Post Your Trigger

• Unkillable
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • (GDD_DamagedUnit has buff Rage of Storms ) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (GDD_Damage - (Life of GDD_DamagedUnit)) Greater than 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Set GDD_Damage = 0
        • Unit - Set life of GDD_DamagedUnit to 1.00%
      • Else - Actions

Setting the damage variable to 0 usually prevents the damage when using a DDS. I know it does explicitly in PDD, I assume GDD does too. If not you can switch up the system you're using and all you'll have to change are the variables to use the PDD_ ones instead of GDD_ ones.

Am I supposed to use a DDS that someone else has made and just implement for my map? That's prob why I'm confused, my map currently does not have one, and are you able to recommend a good one?

 

[Pyrogasm]

Oh, yes, I thought you already had one from the trigger you posted. PDD is simple and effective; I linked it in my previous post.

Okay, and this would include spells as well?

 

[Pyrogasm]

I don't understand what you're saying but yes PDD can detect if damage was done via attack, via spell, or via code (using Unit Damage Target).

 

[TyDieGuy99]

Yeah what i meant, like a chain lightning. Will mess around with it and give status update.

Pretty sure I got right, I have the DamageEvent script and all the variables, looked like it might of been cause amount of damage unit was taking? But not entirely sure.

 

[Pyrogasm]

No I made an error when I posted before. It should be: (Life - PDD_amount) < 1.00, not (PDD_amount - Life) > 1.00. The way it's written now if your attack exactly kills the caster (no more than 1 point of damage more than its health) then the regen will not occur.

Well the goods news is that it does work, the bad news is that every single unit has a disease cloud ability for some reason?, and my hero was gaining the ability of an enemy unit(which was not on map at time) as well for brief moments.

UPDATE: So for some reason the PDD system was using the custom disease cloud skill i had and just applied it to every single building and unit, I just coped the skill and deleted the old one. However though, it seems like when the trigger is executed it gives the hero an ability that does not belong to him, when i tried doing the same thing it fixed it but any enemies that were attacking got their HP brought down to 1% when the trigger went off.. as well as a SFX went off after ability finished which is not in my code..

 

[Pyrogasm]

Did you do the set up and configuration of PDD? It probably asks you to give rawcodes for a runed bracers ability and a defend ability, and my guess is that the default rawcodes for these abilities were for the disease cloud and something else in your map. Read over the documentation and the configuration to make sure you did it all. And if you did and it's still making disease clouds, then I suggest you upload your map here for people to look at (might be easier to diagnose this way).

Just fixed that, works now thank you so much!!
