[Trigger] Count when attack occurs

[Djinn1995]

is there a way to see when the damage is done cause i got an unit that when he attacks a explosion occurs at the attacked units place.i cant find a unit takes damage event.
i got these triggers

• Zoanthrope
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Zoanthrope
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage circular area after 2.00 seconds of radius 300.00 at (Position of (Attacked unit)), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Siege and damage type Poison
    • Wait 1.50 seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Attacked unit)) using war3mapImported\EarthNova.mdx
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Honestly, I dont know why you are asking, you did it already


of course, next things like leaks&mui must be solved, but skelet is done

 

[Djinn1995]

yeah but the explosion can go off before or after the attack reaches its target

 

[Restor]

well, but I think event "unit is attacked" is started right after the unit takes the damage, or not?

 

[Djinn1995]

no it starts when the unit starts the attack.

 

[Restor]

Well, try


Wait ((distance between attacking and attacked unit)/missile speed) seconds

and the the other actions

 

[Djinn1995]

how can i get missile speed?

 

[Restor]

thats depends on which unit is attacking, see in object editor

 

[Djinn1995]

ahh you mean the number i looked in whole trigger editor :S

 

[Djinn1995]

ty now it is working +rep

solved

You must use the "Specific unit takes damage" event. Note that this means you must have another trigger that adds this event to your trigger each time a unit is created. Also note that since events leak, you should use the "specific unit takes damage" event with care.

Here you have a way of detecting when a unit is damaged.

Trigger #1

• Detect Damage Enter
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Detect Damage <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

Trigger #2

• Damage Detect
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Damage taken))) above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 9.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 20.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 120.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds

Note that this is just an example and all the actions you want to happen should be put inside Trigger #2.

also, if you use the wait depending on distance between them, if the target is moving away it will trigger early, if the target is moving toward it will trigger late, and it will trigger on misses, damage detection system is the only way to really take care of that problem :/

Can't you also just make a critical strike skill to do 1.00x damage and have 100% success

err.. what exactly would that achieve?
