Any unit is damaged?

[Refrigerator]

I heard about the world editor GUI having a general unit event option "any unit is damaged". I would like to use this event for a trigger but cannot find the event in question. The only thing close to that i am able to find is "any unit is attacked". My aim would be to create a trigger which pops a mark on certain units within a unit group every time these units are damaged by and attack/skill/ or trigger.

Does anyone have any advice to give me? Thanks in advance.

"A unit takes damage" is a specific unit even, not general.
If to be used on units that are spawned ingame, thus not preplaced in the editor, you have to use a damage detection system (see the tools section here on Hive).

Thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to use systems, if there is no way around.

A damage detection system is that way around

Unit is attacked would probably work tho?

Although i guess the best way would be to through the units into a unit group.

Don't use Unit is Attacked for detecting damage as it is easily abusable and not as good as DDS, also lacks any responses like amount of damage taken, etc.
