im trying to make a behavior that gives a unit a 15% dodge chance, its a permanant behavior so it doesn't need to have anything applying it i just want the 15% dodge chance.

@UltimaNecros: Go

You need to use Combat: Damage Response.

Set the chance to 0.15, set the Amount Fraction to 0.

That should do it.

@MasterWrath: Go

yea i saw that and thought that is what i needed but i was unsure. just as an extra do you know if i can make the word "dodge" appear over the unit's head when he dodges?

You can probably use a text actor for this. Check the Immortal Shields actors to see, which events you need for an actor to be shown when a damage response triggers, then just add similar events to a text actor and make it display the dodge text.

Also note that the "dodge" will only block damage. If you, for example, dodge a marauder missile, it will still slow you, even if you avoid the damage.

i need a little more help with that, i cant get it to work, i even tried turning the harden shield ones into my behaviors, for some reason Hardened shield damage handled works, but when i set it to the other behavior damage handled it turns red, i switch it back and wtf it turns blue again.

I recently did a behavior exactly the way you're trying to do. Here's what I did:

Behavior - Buff (calling it DODGE) Effect - Damage (does 0 damage, used as a dummy, calling it DUMMY)

Damage Response for DODGE:

-Chance = .1 = 10% dodge rate

-Modify Fraction = 0.001 (because i dont trust 0)

-Handled = DUMMY

-Required Effect Array = All weapons used by units in map (or nothing if you want it to be applied via all damage sources)

Then i set the text tag with triggers using the DUMMY effect as the event.

im still confused cause i dont now HOW to do a text tag thing to make it show up, like i said i tried mimicking the immortal shields but it says its invalid for use. i have the behavior working (as far as i know, kinda main reason i want text tag up) and its just the text i need.

@Necromoni: Go

thanks

Alright it works now, Thanks to everyone who helped! This was the last piece i wanted done for my map's Beta: Hero Income Defence!
