Is there a way to change, say, the amount of damage for a damage effect thru variables? I am trying to make an ability that does damage to all surrounding enemies based on the amount of shields the unit currently has and then set shields to zero. I am new to the data editor so there might be a way to do this through validators and what not, but I am more familiar with doing things thru triggers. Any help would be appreciated :D
Catalogs are functions that in some way interact with the stuff done in the data editor. most of them are for looking up information though.
I suggest looking around the site for more info about how to use catalogs.

not sure what you mean by variables, but it is possible to do that through triggers. use this action to set the damage dealt by the effect. http://wiki.sc2mapster.com/galaxy/triggers/catalog-field-value-set/

Cool, thanks! I was wondering what these catalogs were.
