: 25% of life

: 25% of life

I want to make an ability just like > Quarter < from FFTA.. so that when you target an enemy it loses 25% of its life (or 50%.. not sure about that yet)
I guess it's pretty easy to do with triggers... but I'm a noob at triggers so... please help

I knew this as Demi and it decreased the life by 25%... So... it is from CURRENT not maximm life. If you want from maximum I'll change the action:

Action - Set Life of (Target Unit of Ability being Cast) to Current Life of (Target Unit of Ability being Cast)*0.75 (this means that the unit receives 75% of its current life... So it loses 25% ).

Thanks a lot Dealin... i might get myself more familiar with triggers some day

I asume that I should start with the condition: (Ability being cast) Equal to Quarter?
en then: Actions: Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to 0.75

Thanks fo your help

I think there's an action Unit set life to percent.

I used that one didn't I ? I still have one question;

Action - Set Life of (Target Unit of Ability being Cast) to Current Life of (Target Unit of Ability being Cast)*0.75

well... I couldn't find that underlined part of the trigger.... is that a problem?
and do I have to do anything to activate the trigger or whatever

Current life is known as "life" in the editor.

It did work, but the problem is that the target's life isn't reduced by 25%, however the target life is reduced to 1 HP... could someone tell me why

Its because uou're telling to set its life to 0.75, which rounds to 1. If you're gonna use a value trigger instead of percent like i said to, then do arithmatic, and for the first value scroll down to unit property and set it to Unit-Current life then for the second value to x0.75. Clear?

Umm... Hope you didn't put any wait before (Target Unit of Ability being Cast) and that it is a single condition. Also, hope you added both event and condition.

And ooops... Indeed it was Current Percentage life... I mess triggers up when I don't have the WE opened...

I can easily help you with this:

Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Demi
Actions
Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Targeted unit)) x 0.75)


Very easy, actually. Just set the base of the ability to any ability that has to target a unit. Understand now?

I actually mentioned that as well Orcfan... And I think this looks very close to my trigger...
