Way to check damage?

[LordDz]

I want to use a units' damage in a spell, but the only way I know to check how much the damage of the unit is, is to do UNIT takes damage, and as this is a spell, I really can't have predefined units in the trigger, is there any other way to check the damage of an unit without having to make it attack an unit?

maybe use the formula for the damage... example if a unit's base damage is 10 then in the gameplay constants you set that every point of primary attribut you gain 1 damage then you can set the triggered damage to (10 + X(Include Bonuses)) X = Primary Attribute Of Hero.......

• unit spawns
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to check 4 dmg <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) takes Damage)

• check 4 dmg
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Damage taken)))

Yeah, forgot bout that one, thx +rep!
But doesn't that create leaks?..

Thanks for Rep

Dont know about leaking though - wasn't able to find a function that would unregister the event :/

That create leaks, you must destroy trigger with events and create new one, then use him for events.

or recycle units, but it's harder!

Just download a damage detection engine. (almost same as kukeiko suggested, but with more efficiency and much more sophisticated)
When you start the spell, you make the unit do damange on a dummy (0 armor i suppose), and check with the damage detection engine how much it was. Then you have it and use it in the spell! (Make sure to disable any possible critical hit stuff etc.)

Unregistering events is impossible, that is why it is called REGISTER and not ADD.

does the native AddUnitEvent leaks? the only one I'm sure that leaks is the GUI action that translates to something like TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ()
