% Chance on damage problem

[vile]

Eek. I've been having a serious problem on my map.
A unit has a percent chance of dealing extra damage. This trigger calculates percents whenever he
deals damage. If a % is right, it deals extra damage.
The problem starts when he aquires a poison item. He then deals damage to the target, and the poison
keeps dealing damage every second. So every second the trigger fires.
It does have a buff.

Any brain-storming geniuses out there to solve this?

Just use a Critical strike and remove the sort of "jump" that is made when extra damage has been given. That is the way I would do it atleast...

#1 Trigger posion
#2 Use a passive dmg bonus

 

[vile]

With critical strike I can't detect the damage made by it, and therefore, ic ant add the special effect i need.
Also, triggering the poison wont help. The damager will still be him :/

Can you check on attacks, then if damage is being dealt on that attack?

 

[vile]

I tried that. I still got that on actually.
Everytime he attacks, the trigger of the damage detection turns on. Then a timer starts of 2 seconds, that turns the trigger off when it expires.

Odd isn't it?

Just use this with a wait function in a loop:

Unit - Cause (Dummy unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing 3.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Poison

Where the dummy unit is a unit spawned before the loop. Also give the dummy unit an expiration timer.

Orb of Poison?

I guess making the poison triggered will help, but I am trying to avoid that.
It's poison attacks btw.

I wonder if there is any way to detect the damage type by poison.

 

[SeasonsOfLove]

Triggering the poison is probably the best way, vile.

That also allows poisons to stack (which is good, too)

 

[Jacek]

Maybe Classification check "If Unit is poisoned", you know 1.18 functions ^^

 

[vile]

Heh, stacking poisons is not good, balancing speaking.

I have no problem in detecting which unit has poison and which not, there is a buff for that.
The problem is, detecting whenever it gets damage from the hero and the damage type is not poison
**beep** blizzard..

 

[vile]

nevermind guys
found out how to make it work.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

So, what did you do to make it work, explain

One of Vex's systems I belive.
