Unit Takes Damage

[Name_n]

Is there any way that I can get this event in the Generic Unit event instead of Specific Unit event?

 

[Billy the Cat]

Using unit is attacked isn't an option?
What for did you need it

 

[HaniBon]

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked

Enjoy

I kinda have the feeling that he will need it for more events as just being attacked HaniBon...

I have heard people talk about damage detection systems, but I never used those so I don't know D:

Why would it not work?

 

[Billy the Cat]

It works only when the unit is attacked, but not when the unit is damaged by triggers or abilities.

No, that's not the problem, the problem is that with the "A unit is attacked" event, the event is registered when the unit starts the attack animation, not when it deals damage, so it makes it possible to animation cancel (spamming stop) to make it trigger way more times than it should.

Could this work?

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Your Trigger <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage)

Edit: And YES I know it needs more actions, but basicly, that would work right?

 

[Billy the Cat]

I need to pay attention to that thing myself

Then use a condition.

• (Integer((Life of (Attacked Unit)))) Equal to SOMETHING

Eventually set the SOMETHING to a "random number between 0 and
(Max Life of (Attacked Unit))"

Mate, that wont work... he needs an Action not an Condition...

Sorry, I first thought all this was about an event. I must have misunderstood the whole thing :S

I think it should work, but you also have to remember to add the event for units that are created after map initialization.

But if you understand some JASS, I suggest using this system by Rising_Dusk, it's much easier and also free of bugs.

Ye it works, I made a larger system out of it

Whew... thank you all VERY much for your replies.

This. The unit can cancel the animation and the trigger would trigger[verb] and the animation can be cancelled. I also want the trigger to detect how much damage a unit takes.

+rep.

 

[HaniBon]

So, is this solved or do you need more help?

 

[Darkyvm]

The system I linked before can register how much damage the unit took, it just has 2 problems:

- The system is in JASS, so if you don't know it you may have some problems using it.

- If you don't want the system to register damage from spells, then all spell damage in your map has to be done through the system's damage function or it'll be registered as if it was an attack.

The map that comes with it has some examples that should help you understand how the system works and how to use it.
