Armor

How to measure unit's armor using trigger editor?
How to set real variable to unit's armor?
Seems easy but I can't find it on editor.

I modified it so that the unit can't die from the damage. There's an ability that temporarily increases the units max hp. You must use the raw code of the ability. Customize it in the script after you've copied it to your map. You can check raw codes by clicking Ctrl + D in object editor.

function GetUnitArmor takes unit u returns real
    local real hp1 = GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)
    local real hp2
    local real damage
    call UnitAddAbility(u, 'A000')
    call SetUnitAbilityLevel(u, 'A000', 2)
    call UnitRemoveAbility(u, 'A000')
    set hp2 = GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)
    call UnitDamageTarget( u, u, 10.0, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, null)
    set damage = hp2 - GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)
    call UnitAddAbility(u, 'A000')
    call SetUnitAbilityLevel(u, 'A000', 3)
    call UnitRemoveAbility(u, 'A000')
    call SetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE, hp1)
    if damage > 10.0 then
        set damage = 10.0 - damage
        return (damage-10.0)/(damage*0.06)
    endif
    return (10.0-damage)/(damage*0.06)
endfunction

This requires some conditions.

Chaos attack type should deal 100% to all defense types.
The 0.06 originates from armor reduction factor in gameplay constants.
Not sure why DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL was chosen, this does not work against ethereal units, it also cancels heal salve for example.
UnitDamageTarget runs damage events and there is also a unit life event that can react to SetUnitState.

There are few object editor fields that can be natively read out via trigger nor are there so many for units or widgets in general.
