I looked in the api but i didn't find any modifier functions for lifesteal. I only found some for lifesteal amp.

Check the modifier_imba_morbid_mask_unique modifier.

#

Actually, no, sorry. This is not a good example. Custom implementation.

#

Let me find a better one.

tl;dr
lifesteal isn't a real stat
its something you calculate when you do damage, so you can't just add a 'lifesteal' property

I know this is redundant to say at this point here, but I figured I'd clarify in case anyone else goes looking

Found 1 function for healwithparam

🇸 CDOTA_BaseNPC:HealWithParams(amount: float, inflictor: handle, lifesteal: bool, amplify: bool, source: handle, spellLifesteal: bool): nil
Heal this unit (with more parameters).

Old examples usually use Heal instead of this^. Third argument set to true marks it as lifesteal. 4th arg set to true allows it to be amped with lifesteal amp.

Huh, neat

#

Does it also handles the particles?

Sad.

The example linked above is mechanically accurate for Open Wounds, but not for ordinary lifesteal (like Morbid Mask).
For an almost accurate lifesteal implementation you could try this:

#

Place the modifier on the target in OnAttackLanded and it will heal the attacker if applicable

#

Alternatively, you could just borrow the vanilla modifier_special_bonus_lifesteal and it will proc lifesteal based on the KV named value from your ability values, but this might be too hacky for some people

#

do you need to account for barriers when calculating damage?

#

I didn't think you did

#

or rather, not calculating damage, but using the damage on the attack landed

#

This is post-barriers just like using the damage in OnAttacked; I didn't use the damage in OnAttackLanded

#

Lifesteal buff places this modifier on the target during OnAttackLanded, modifier does some calculations and removes itself after OnAttacked

#

You are overcomplicating. Using OnAttackLanded is enough. Not 4 different modifier properties and events ...

I wouldn't be doing that if the simple solutions were satisfactory, and it happens that lifesteal is pretty important in my custom game so I went the length

#

Using OnAttackLanded would be very off, entirely ignoring armor and damage block. It's what Jugg's level 20 talent did for some time, until 7.34 fixed it

#

Using OnAttacked is almost decent except you will heal extreme amounts from illusions

Yeah it was much simpler pre 7.33, when lifesteal was calculated at INCOMING_DAMAGE_PERCENTAGE, plus a hardcoded check to stop lifesteal if target is phys immune (Omni ult, etc)

#

The new sequence with the barriers is pretty convoluted and required this ugly solution

I didn't know OnDamageCalculated was exposed to the API
