Best Method For A Backstab?

[x3GlikE]

I need an GUI method for an back stab, +REP

You mean take extra damage when the unit is attacked on its back? Because you can only detect when a specific unit is attacked and was placed already on the map meaning that when a unit is attacked it can't be detected using a generic unit event but insted the only was is specific unit event e.g.

• Events
  • Unit - Peasant 0000 <gen> Takes damage

^Nah like when the unit is standing at the back of 'target' and attacks I need a GUI script to tell me if he is standing at the back of 'target' or not. Like DotA sa skill. +REP For trying

I think that this should work well as to detect when a unit is back stabbed .

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked
• Conditions
  • (Facing of (Triggering unit)) Less than ((Facing of (Attacking unit)) - 40.00)
  • (Facing of (Triggering unit)) Greater than ((Facing of (Attacking unit)) + 40.00)
• Actions

Does that solution work?

This works for sure:

• Attack GUI Copy Copy 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Set unit variables --------
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Set u1 = (Attacking unit)
    • Set u2 = (Triggering unit)
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Set location variables --------
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Set p1 = (Position of u1)
    • Set p2 = (Position of u2)
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Cos(((Angle from p1 to p2) - (Facing of u2)))) Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Backstab!
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Clear leaks --------
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p2)

Modify the greater than x value to adjust the angle width. Keep it between -1 and 1. The closer to 1 the value is, the narrower the angle will be. The loser to -1 the value is, the wider the angle will be.

Maker, isnt DeathChef's solution MUCH easier? xD

 

[Maker]

It may look easier, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

 

[x3GlikE]

Can you show me the other way to?

 

[Maker]

The other way?

 

[SA Dashie]

But I thought that solution works and is more efficient although I have not tested it .
Also Maker I don't see why you would need to put the units in a variable.....

I can't make it work.

One most likely is going to use them in the then branch

lol I think that I have just noticed why I think that this is how I was disposed to do it.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked
• Conditions
  • (Facing of (Triggering unit)) Less than ((Facing of (Attacking unit)) + 40.00)
  • (Facing of (Triggering unit)) Greater than ((Facing of (Attacking unit)) - 40.00)
• Actions
