I've been looking everywhere but I can't find any tutorials on how to increase the damage of an ability.

I've looked at levels, adding and removing the ability through triggers but none give a demonstration on how to do it.

Can anyone help me?

I have around 10 heros and I need to be able to alter the damage of their abilities. Possibly 20 times each.

What is the simplest way to go about this? I need to be able to use trigger-actions to alter them.

Damage is inflicted by Effects. You can change the Amount of damage done through the Catalog feature using triggers.

This is great, i'm testing now. Can you come to IRC and help me to make sure i'm doing it right? I'm getting an error right now

I have to leave soonish. But quickshot14 made a fantastic video guide on YouTube for this.

Check it out: http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=64x8jRL5np0

Just follow the steps and see how it's done. Hope you figure it out. Otherwise I'll be available tonight (which is like 7 hours from now for me).

This si the error i'm getting

00:00:18.50 Trigger Error in 'gt_Eventlisteneregunitusesability_Func': Catalog entry 'DamageUnit' was not found
00:00:18.50 Trigger Error in 'gt_Eventlisteneregunitusesability_Func': Could not get 'entry' from parameter in 'CatalogFieldValueSet' (value: 4327983)
00:00:18.50 Trigger Error in 'gt_Eventlisteneregunitusesability_Func': Catalog entry 'DamageUnit' was not found
00:00:18.50 Trigger Error in 'gt_Eventlisteneregunitusesability_Func': Could not get 'entry' from parameter in 'CatalogFieldValueSet' (value: 6949418)

@gorang: Go

That error is because you don't have a damage effect named DamageUnit. It's token/ID needs to be DamageUnit, not it's 'name'.

I realized what i'd done wrong and copied over the effect to my map now.

However Nova's snipe ability is still not 1 damage. :/

Cracked it. Changed Nova's ability damage to 0 and now whatever I place into the trigger for damage is used.

This is an amazing function you've created. It will help a lot.

Thank you

No problem. Enjoy :)
