Combat Camera effects when attacked

[Null]

I'm trying to make a trigger which should make the screen red and shake it based on how many enemies are attacking a unit and how low that unit is.
I made this trigger but doesn t get the job done

• Attacked Shake
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Hero Unit for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 1
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet Shake[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Shake[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Shake[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Camera - Shake the camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) with magnitude (1.00 + ((Real(Shake[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) / 2.00))
        • Cinematic - Fade out over 5.00 seconds using texture White Mask and color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 95.00% transparency
        • Wait 1.00 seconds
        • Camera - Stop swaying/shaking the camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)).
      • Else - Actions
        • Wait 2.00 seconds
        • Camera - Stop swaying/shaking the camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)).

"A unit is attacked" runs when a unit begins the windup animation before an attack, not when a unit takes damage. There is no "a unit takes damage" event because it just doesn't exist in the game code. People make Damage Detection Systems (recommended: Damage Engine 5.9.0.0) to overcome this issue, and that's what you need to use to trigger this effect.

That being said I think the problem is just that the magnitude is too low to be noticed, and it only lasts for 1 second while the red fade is over 5s. Also Shake[] is never decreased so what's the point of checking if it's > 0?

there is an external trigger which decreases it, but that still doesn't solve that problem, cause the camera stops shaking. I need that from the moment the battle begins, till it ends the screen to be shaking (growing in intensity) and the screen to be slightly red

I think thats going to be very annoying, but that’s just my opinion.

Use a timer to stop the camera shake.

A unit is attacked -> Increase intensity and start a 2 second timer

Timer expires -> Stop the camera shake

The Timer will get reset each time the unit is attacked, preventing the camera from stopping until your unit hasn't been attacked by anything for a full 2 seconds.

And shouldn't Shake be a Real variable since the shake magnitude uses a Real.
