Damage = Damage Taken

[arsenio118]

Umm I need help

see i'm making an ability like puppet master's in hon his last skill i can actually do it but the problem i can't make the damage taken of the summoned unit to be thesame as the damage of the targeted unit there is an action but it's event response but the event has to be specific unit event but the unit i'm using for this is stored in a variable so i can't actually use it in that event please help me

WC3 has no way to do this. You will just have to make and leak a lot of unit is damaged events by adding them to the trigger via the add event action (the attach event native).

In SC2 you will be able to do this as there is a generic unit is damaged event and additionally the more robust garbage collector means there probably are no leaks with destroying triggers.

I use this system in my map:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-friendly-damage-detection-v1-2-1-a-149098/

You don't have to know JASS at all (I don't). You should however have a basic knowledge of hashtables and you should save the target of your Voodoo Puppet to a hashtable tied to the actual Puppet unit. You just have to paste the GDD script on your map and then make this trigger:

EVENTS
GDD_Damage becomes equal to 0.00

CONDITIONS
Unit-Type of GDD_DamagedUnit equal to "Voodoo Puppet"

ACTIONS
Set temp_point = (Center of Playable map area)
Set temp_group = all units within 1.00 of temp_point
Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
Unit Group - Remove all units from temp_group
Unit Group -Add GDD_DamagedUnit to temp_group
Unit Group - Pick every unit in temp_group and loop actions:
>>>Loop
>>>Set temp_real = 1.40 x GDD_Damage
>>>Unit - Cause (Picked Unit) to damage (Hashtable - load key "target" of key(Picked Unit) from "Hash_VoodooPuppet"), dealing temp_real of Attack Type Spells, Damage Type Magic
>>>Unit Group - Removed (Picked Unit) from temp_group
Custom Script - call DestroyGroup(udg_temp_group)


And the whole thing about making an empty group and adding one unit to it is so you can reference the unit with "Picked Unit" because you can't reference unit variables when using hashtable keys for some reason

I would definitely not recommend using a unit-group just because you can't reference the unit through the GUI. If you're going to need it, use a custom script line. If you don't know what to add, tell me which line you're having troubles with (using the trigger tags) and I will help you.

• Set temp_unit = Load key "caster" of key(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit) in "Voodoo Puppet"
