Windrunner's 1st skill

[osh]

Hello. I want to recreate windrunner of dota 1's first skill, the arrow that passes through targets while damage is reduced. Can anyone kindly help me? Thanks.

So Powershot is basically just Shockwave or Carrion Swarm with the added effect of dealing X% less damage per hit.

A system like this should easily be able to manage it:

Shockwave System 1.5 Reforged

Credit to xyzier_24 for the original shockwave system which can be found here: Shockwave Carrion Swarm System (See the original for a full description). Updated by me to use reforged features instead of excessive dummy units. See the example spells for documentation. Also includes a dummy...

You would simply adjust the Damage variable whenever it deals damage. In that system you should be able to find a line like this:

• Unit - Cause SW_Caster[SW_Loop] to damage TempUnit, dealing SW_DamageX[SW_Loop] damage of attack type SW_AttackType[SW_Loop] and damage type SW_DamageType[SW_Loop]

SW_DamageX[SW_Loop] is the variable that contains the damage of the Shockwave. So after dealing damage you simply adjust this variable to deal X% less damage. I believe Powershot does 10% less per hit:

• Set Variable SW_DamageX[SW_Loop] = (SW_DamageX[SW_Loop] * 0.90)

This is done using the Arithmetic function.
