A Couple of a Trigger Questions

[Tauren_009]

I have some questions regarding triggers and some not about triggers:
1. How do you detect the current attack damage of a hero/unit?
2. How do you run a trigger after, lets say after a dialog button has been clicked and its different for every player and runs at the same time?
3. I dont know if this is the right place, but how do you change the tooltip of the move ability?
4. How do you create a fog that has a shape of a triangle?

Thanks!

1. Damage Detection System
2. You could save the triggers into a trigger array and then use player number of triggering player to run the trigger in a correct index.
3. Not sure.
4. I don't think you can.

4. It can be a pseudo-triangle, like so:

   []
  [][]
 [][][] 
[][][][]

This is not user-friendly as it involves creating multiple rects to fill the space.

Thanks for all your help.

Maker, it says when I open the map function does not exist: InitHashtable BJ.
Also which function detects the minimum, maximum and average damage?

Make sure you are using either normal World Editor or Jass NewGen Pack Editor. Also make sure you have updated to the latest patch.

Then you can call the GetUnitDamage function like this for example:

• Custom script: set udg_r1 = GetUnitDamage(GetHandleId(*unit*),integer)

That would store the damage into a variable called r1. r1 must be created in variable editor.

Replace the "integer" with 0, 1 or 2. 0 = min dmg, 1 = max, 2 = avg.

Replace the *unit* with the unit whose damage you want to get.

Whats the latest patch and what do I use to set the unit?
Last question, how to I detect the position of the mouse pointer?

It's InitHashtableBJ (no space) and if you are using Jass NewGen Pack well that's your problem see InitHashtable is one of the cool 1.24 natives that wasn't around when out-dated Jass NewGen Pack was last updated.

You did, but I moved it to the right forum. "how to"-type questions by nature generally go in World Editor Help Zone, and Triggers & Scripts is for fixing triggers which you've at least got started on (more of a debugging forum).

Whats the latest patch?

1.26a

how to I detect the position of the mouse pointer?

You can't, but you can use Trackables to detect when your mouse hovers over a certain x,y spot or clicks on it.

Last question, how to I detect the position of the mouse pointer?

You can't.

You could use trackables. They are basically rectangles. You'd have to fill the map with very small trackables to get the coordinates even somewhat accurately.

So basically there's no way.
