[Trigger] count the number of times an unit attacked?

[Daweed]

is it possible to do it by trigger? if so how?

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is attacked
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Set the custom value of (Attacked Unit) to (((Custom value of (Attacked Unit)) + 1)

You can assign the custom value from everywhere (it's an integer)

Doesn't 'is attacked' only activate once (when the attacker starts attacking)?

 

[Squiggy]

Huh?

 

[Avator]

I believe he wants to count the amount of times the unit took damage. Don't you need a damage detecting system for that instead of 'Unit is attacked'? Since I believe that 'Unit is attacked' only activated once, and will only activate again when the attacking unit stops attacking or attacks again.

i guess that triger runs everytime when any unit is attacked (in this case, if it will be specific unit, it wil run when that unit is attacked, and again and again)

 

[Daweed]

if i use the damage detection how would i do it?

 

[Avator]

I never worked with a damage detecting system. But if I'm correct, there's a tutorial about it on THW. It's made to detect how much damage is done to a unit, but it can also be used to check if a unit is damaged at all. If you use that, you simply add an integer variable 'AttackTimes = AttackTimes + 1' to the trigger, so it you will count the amount of times a unit has taken damage, which you can use for whatever you want to use it for.
