Spell Damage Dice

Spell Damage Dice

Hi

I am designing a spell which will damage enemy units from 100 (minimum damage) to 300 (maximum) damage. The problem is I don't know how to. My trigger skills are just bad but the rest is exceptional.

do u want to have a random damage between 100 - 300?

then create a real variable (called therandomnumber or sth. like that) and attach these function to your trigger:

event: - your ability event
condition: - your condition
action: set "therandomnumber" = random real number beetween 1-100
if/then/else multiple functions:
   if condition: "therandomnumber" smaller than 33 
   if action: set taret unit of ability being cast' s life to life of taret unit of ability being cast - 100
if/then/else multiple functions:
   if condition: and:
          "therandomnumber" greater than or equal to 33
          "therandomnumber" smaller than 66
    if action: set taret unit of ability being cast' s life to life of taret unit of ability being cast - 200
if/then/else multiple functions:
   if condition: and:
          "therandomnumber" greater than or equal to 66
          "therandomnumber" smaller than or equal to 100
    if action: set taret unit of ability being cast' s life to life of taret unit of ability being cast - 300

        

yes!

you was faster than my edit so see above

Hmmm, I'm abit confused, abit more details and easier please.

SophoHmmm, I'm abit confused, abit more details and easier please.

k . as there is no "random" function, u have to create an own. this can u do by creating a real variable, and set this variable to a random number each time the event is started. :

RaZoRset "therandomnumber" = random real number beetween 1-100

then u can set the percentage of this "random function. :

RaZoRif condition: "therandomnumber" smaller than 33
if action: set taret unit of ability being cast' s life to life of taret unit of ability being cast - 100

this means, that to 33% the targeted unit looses 100 hp and to 67% nothing will happen.so u need the other if/then/else functions:

RaZoRif/then/else multiple functions:
if condition: and:
"therandomnumber" greater than or equal to 33
"therandomnumber" smaller than 66
if action: set taret unit of ability being cast' s life to life of taret unit of ability being cast - 200
if/then/else multiple functions:
if condition: and:
"therandomnumber" greater than or equal to 66
"therandomnumber" smaller than or equal to 100
if action: set taret unit of ability being cast' s life to life of taret unit of ability being cast - 300

so the targeted unit of your ability will loose to 33% 100, to 33% 200 and to 33% 300 hp.
i hope u understand it now better

the ability is to target a single enemy unit, will it work?

yes, the traget unit of ability being cast refers to a targeted single unit (e.g. using stormbolt as dummy spell)

Yikes, I still don't understand. Can you send me a test map of this?

it took me five minutes to finish this map for u. ply pm me your e-mail adress.

I still haven't recieved the map yet.
Also I have another problem:

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

(Ability being cast) Equal to Firebolt

 Actions
    Animation - Change (Target unit of ability being cast)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 25.00%, 25.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    Wait 6.00 seconds
    Animation - Change (Target unit of ability being cast)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency

What I basically want is the unit which is targeted by the spell " fire " to turn red and then back to normal colour (as you can see) after 6 seconds. But it won't work.

this doesn't work, because u haven't a triggering unit after 6 sec. so u have to use variables:

set "unitvariable" = targeted unit"
Animation - Change ("unitvariable")'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 25.00%, 25.00%) with 0.00% transparency 
    Wait 6.00 seconds 
    Animation - Change ("unitvariable")'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency

this will work

I have a very simple way of making this spell that uses triggers(if you don't mind seeing the spell damage amount)
All you got to do is make a unit and set its attack range to what you want then give it a 100% critical strike ability and then when the spell is cast create the unit at the target and have it at him. For a mass damage one just create the unit at each of the enemy units in range. I have alrdy made a spell that shows this with the Drunk Panda found here http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Spells&ID=196&sid=727787a25bacddd6c41fcd748aa72ac3

Thanks RaZoR
