Damage Detect variable.

[Chewii]

Hello. I want to detect damage and i thought you could first store the unit in an variable then do another trigger where you use the stored unit in the event Unit - Takes Damage but in that event it wont find the variable... Is there anyway to do this?
I want it like this:

• Storing
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Attacking unit) Equal to Sorceress 0003 <gen>
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 1000.00 of (Position of (Attacking unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set unit = (Picked unit)
        • Set unit2 = (sorceress0013)
        • Trigger - Turn on using the stored <gen>

• using the stored
  • Events
    • Unit - unit Takes damage
  • Conditions
    • Unit2 Equal to (Damage source)
  • Actions

use GDD (Gui-friendly damage detection)....with that system you can easily get the damage (or the damage dealer or the damaged unit^^)

The event is made with the variable contents when you call the event constructor. Changing the variable afterwards will not alter the event object in any way. To put this in computer terms the reference to the unit is passed by value and not by reference.
