Okay, so i have this multi board and i want it to display the Damage done by a unit, like overall damage. When a unit attacks another unit i want it to "add" all the damage up on the multiboard. This is what i have so far and i cant seem to find an action to make this work. Here is that i have so far.

  • Red Damage Done
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Is attacked
    • Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    • Actions
      • Set Multi_Board_Damage1[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))] = ((Owner of (Attacking unit)) Total Overall Score)
      • Multiboard - Set the text for Multi_Board item in column 3, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))) to (String(Multi_Board_Damage1[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))]))
Any help on the matter is much appreciated.

Thanks,

-Melthal

What you need is a damage detection system. Heres how to do a simple one in GUI:

There's an event called 'Unit takes Damage' and also an event response ' Damage Taken'. So where is the Takes damage event? Answer: It's not a generic unit even. "Unit takes damage" is a specific unit event, which makes using it in general spells and such quite tricky. So this is how we get around adding the event to a trigger.

Code: 
Events
 Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)

Actions
 Trigger - Add to <YOUR TRIGGER> the event (Entering unit (Takes damage))

NOTE: If a unit enters the playable map area twice, the event will be added twice, and that means the trigger will run twice. If it is possible for units to enter the map twice (being ressurected and such will trigger this), you can adjust that trigger a little:

Code: 
Events
 Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)

Conditions
 (Entering unit) is in DamageTaken Equal to False

Actions
 Add (Entering unit) to DamageTaken
 Add to <YOUR TRIGGER> the event (Entering unit (Takes damage))

DamageTaken is a Unit group variable.

Now, change <YOUR TRIGGER> to the trigger you want to have the 'damage taken' event. Add your conditions and actions and you're done! Now you can use the "Damage taken" event response to do your trigger. Just set the Total Damage variable to "variable + Damage Taken" and update the multiboard! :)

2 notes:
1. If you need to get the integer of how much damage was dealt, when entering integers there is a field "Event Response - Damage Taken" in the dropdown menu. Select that.
2. With the "Damage Taken" event, Triggering unit = the unit taking the damage, and Damage source = the unit dealing it.

Hope that helped!

There are several reasons why your last trigger isn't working.

  • Damage Done
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • (Owner of (Damage source)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
  • Set Multi_Board_Damage1[Player number of (Owner of (Damage source))] = Multi_Board_Damage1[Player number of (Owner of (Damage source))] + (Damage taken)
  • Multiboard - Set the text for Multi_Board item in column 3, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Damage source)))) to (String(Multi_Board_Damage1[(Player number of (Owner of (Damage source)))]))
I copied the conditions from the trigger in the first post and put them here, and then made the necessary adjustments to the trigger.
Now it sets the "multi_board_damage1" variable to the variable + the damage taken, and then updates the multiboard with the new value of the variable.

Hope that helps.

Those are my triggers. And yes. I'm adjusting the right spaces in the board.

  • Damage Done
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set Multi_Board_Damage1[(Player number of (Owner of (Damage source)))] = Multi_Board_Damage1[(Player number of (Owner of (Damage source)))]
      • Multiboard - Set the text for Multi_Board item in column 3, row (2 + (Player number of (Owner of (Damage source)))) to (String(Multi_Board_Damage1[(Player number of (Owner of (Damage source)))]))
Okay, all triggers are there.

In this part of the trigger:
  • Set Multi_Board_Damage1[Player number of (Owner of (Damage source))] = Multi_Board_Damage1[Player number of (Owner of (Damage source))] + (Damage taken)
I cant get the
  • + (Damage taken)
to my trigger i cant find the action anywhere. :sad:

Can some one guide on how to put this action with the variable? I cant seem to find it anywhere. :(
