Hello, first time posting here. I searched the forums and never found anything conclusive on how to do this.

I set up a behavior called "dodge" which has a chance to set the incoming damage fraction to 0. It works great and all, except I can't figure out any ways to change the chance of it happening (I am making an ORPG and I want to have a chance to dodge based on the character's stats/talents). Stacking the behavior has no effect on the chance of occurrence, and upgrades don't let you modify behaviors. Does anyone have a way to do this?

Thanks!

Sounds good in theory, but I want to change it by .1% at a time, and I am NOT going to make 1000 different versions of this 1 behavior, especially considering I'd have to do something similar for critical strikes. Any other thoughts? Triggering it could cause B-NET to puke all over the place, so I'm trying to avoid that.

Edit: I made a simple trigger to count the number of hits and misses and create a text message displaying the % of attacks that missed. 2 tests with 20 stacks of a behavior at a 50% chance yielded .509 and .519, each with over 150 attacks. If it stacked, it would have been 1.00

Pretty sure, Max stack count: 20, Max stack count per caster: 20, Add 20 "Dodge" to Marine1 from Marine1.

All the player heroes would have some amount of dodge as well as critical strike chance.

I appreciate the help anyway. I think the chance is unaffected by stacks, but the actual reductions will stack up. Haven't tested that, but it won't matter in my case. I might test it later for reference.

Right. But at 20 stacks of a 50% chance, I should be just about untouchable, but it still works out to be almost 50%, indicating that the extra stacks don't add extra chances. Disappointing.

Also, taking a unit with 500 Life and giving an upgrade multiplying its Life by 1.2 comes out to 599, it drops the last 1 for some reason. But when I bump it up to 40%, it goes up to 699, so it seems to be just the first 20% that's calculated wrong. Now I only just started college, but I can tell that those numbers are wrong.... Are there fractions hiding somewhere that isn't obvious?
