I'm working on an ancient god map (levelable heroes) ...

I have many questions for you guys :

1) I would like to make a lightning bolt ability that would do 250% of the WEAPON's damage ... So it wouldn't be a fix amount, but it would depend of the unscaled damage of the weapon used by the unit (normally weapon will stay the same).

2) How can i make this lightning bolt come from the sky and not from the caster ?

3) ... [more to come]

@MacSC2: Go

1. The only way I know this could be done, is to make the damage effect deal 0 damage, and then deal the damage with a trigger, dealing weapon damage times 2.5.

@Demtrod: Go

1) Thanks for the suggestion, i'll try that ... however, i almost don't use triggers in my maps, i only use data normally concerning units. Could you be a little bit more precise on the trigger you would use ?

2) DrSuperEvil i get the idea of making the animation at the target point, but how do i make the lightning come from the sky ? And i taught lurker's animations (spines) started at the lurker himself no ???

@MacSC2: Go

Damage
    Events
        Environment - Player Any Player uses Effect YOUR DAMAGE EFFECT
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Environment - Deal damage using YOUR DAMAGE EFFECT on (Triggering Effect Unit(Target)) from (Triggering Effect Unit(Caster)) with ((Maximize damage of (Triggering Effect Unit(Caster)) weapon 1 vs None.) * 2.5) extra damage

I'd assume this would do the trick for you.

@Demtrod: Go

Thanks a lot, it works like charm !!!

Thank you too DrSuperEvil, i'll mess around with what you said to see what i can do :p
