Water Shell v1.2

[OVOgenez]

Wow, thanks, I was hoping someone would like this.
I recommend using the chest attach ref instead of origin, it will look better like it was originally designed for this.

Another awesome ability, love it! Btw I don't understand how the damage reduction works like. It says 10/20/30% damage reduction and 100/200/300 damage. So what's the 100/200/300 damage for? Does it mean it can reduce damage more than 100/200/300?

So, it reduces each incoming damage by 10/20/30%. If the total reduced damage hits 100/200/300, the shield breaks.

Ok thanks for explanation

A lot of these spells would be improved if an actual buff was attached to them.

Otherwise, this is quite well-made.

Approved

Seems like a potential idea I should explore... Thanks!

I noticed that the shield and it's effect is gone if you are hit by an "Impale" ability or uses a "Metamorphosis" ability. Maybe it's a good idéa to make this ability have a buff instead?

Is it only visual (which is possible for Metamorphosis during to Unit change) or including non-visual aspects such as damage reduction and healing? I can't see how these abilities disrupt the shield as a whole, since neither abilities should intervene with Unit Indexer.

v1.1 Changes:

• Modified SFX approach to rely on buff to bypass transformation removing SFX
• Added a buff information that is seen on the target
• Changed attachment point from origin to chest
• Added additional units and abilities for testing morph and impale

v1.1 Notes:

• Apparently Special Effect is a big pickle to deal with
• Addressed Antares' review regarding buff

 

[KaiZen7th]

Are we able to set effective damage type to only magic & spell?

Yes, it requires adding detection to the incoming damage in the Damage trigger of the spell

Sound complicated to a newbie like me.

I can get an update that add a configuration to only detect magic damage to the spell

I don't know why I can not save any map (both Blizzard's and my custom maps) with the Damage Engine 5.A.0.0.

Here is the report if I try to save my custom map after copypasted Damage Engine 5.A.0.0:

And here is the report when I try to save a pure Blizzard's map after copypasted Damage Engine 5.A.0.0:

I'm not familiar with codes so I don't know how to fix it.

Please help!

The first error is from having duplicated code. What most likely happened here is that you encountered a rare bug (not so rare since it happens quite often), where code from a trigger is copied to the map header. You need to delete the duplicated code that is in the map header (the scroll icon with the map's file name next to it).

The second error is from the fact that JassHelper and vJASS are disabled by default (I curse thee Williams for this decision). Damage engine requires both enabled.

 

[Daffa]

Added a damage type filter for damage block
Fixed block factor value in default configuration (0.1, 0.1, 0.1 to 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 as description suggests)

The damage filter block is split between attacks, spells, and codes. In-game default spells fall into spells category, while coded spells likely falls to the latter (code).

 

[Daffa]

Had to double post because tags don't work on edits.

@KaiZen7th you can set both attack and code as false, should work as intended. If not, please let me know and I will make adjustments.

Excuse me, I have no idea of the location of the thing you mentioned.

If you are using Reforged, don't use Damage Engine inside the map, instead download from the official Damage Engine link @KaiZen7th
