[vJASS] Best Way to Get Armour?

[Mr_Bean]

Hi guys,

I am making spells which depend on how much armour the caster has. What would be the best way to determine this? I read this post (www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/defense-related-question-gui-197760). However, in the UI of the hero it says armour is 8, but when tested with this snippet, it says the armour is 15,something.

Any ideas? Thanks.

first, theres no snippet in that post as far as i can tell.

anyway, idk, this might work

function GetUnitArmor takes unit u returns real
local real hp = GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)
local real damage
call UnitDamageTarget( u, u, 10.0, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, null)
set damage = hp - GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)
call SetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE, hp)
if damage > 10.0 then
set damage = 20.0 - damage
return (damage-10.0)/(damage*0.06)
endif
return (10.0-damage)/(damage*0.06)
endfunction

just remmeber the constants are correct

You can study this script (or use it) to get accurate armor detection:

Make sure that your armor reduction multiplier constant isn't changed. (in game constants or whatever)

Thanks guys! I will try them when I get back home.

@Arhowk: I was referring to post #3 in that topic that I linked.

This is the best system for that.
I use it, and I only use high quality systems
