Damage detecting system

[Freyleyes]

Is their a way to detect damage using the generic unit event?In my WE I can only use the event response - Damage Taken or the takes damage event using specific unit event, but I can't use a variable in that event, just units that has been placed.

It is possible but not with GUI...
But i don't know JASS so... try downloading it from download section... maybe excist there.

It is possible in GUI as well, but it would leak(one event for every new unit).
For instance:
Trigger 1
Events:
A unit enters playable map area
Actions
Add event to trigger 2 ( Triggering unit takes damage )

Trigger 2
Events:
- n/a -
Actions:
Show message to player # blah ...

If it would be possible to command to 'remember' a number, you could make a trigger that would save the amount of life of a unit every 0.02 seconds, then you wait 0.01 second and checks if the amount of life is lower then the saved amount. At the end of the trigger, you remove the saved number to prevent a massive leak.

Trigger - add event - Unit Takes damage. or something like that.

There is only a 'Unit Is Attacked' event. Nothing with damage.

And in addition to my previous post: Make a trigger that saves the amount of life every X seconds (save it by using a variable), and make another trigger with Event 'Unit's life becomes less than <VARIABLE>'. Then you can add conditions/actions to it.

The bad thing is that the event only works on a specific unit.

not event. but an action that adds an event to another trigger

No, there's a Unit takes Damage event (EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED in Jass).

It is just only available for "Specific unit events."

If it would be possible to command to 'remember' a number, you could make a trigger that would save the amount of life of a unit every 0.02 seconds, then you wait 0.01 second and checks if the amount of life is lower then the saved amount. At the end of the trigger, you remove the saved number to prevent a massive leak.

That's terribly inefficient, and reals don't leak.

I want to create a spell, that when a units takes damage, the attacking unit also takes that damage, but just one unit so i cant use thorns aura.If someone can do it in JASS can you please just send me the code.

"Just one unit"?

• Set Thorns Aura Area of Effect to 0?
• Spiked Carapace?

However, those only work for melee attack damage.

 

[RunBa]

but what if you're making an RPG?
what can you do if you need to set damage for all units. i tried but I still
think that it can not be done in GUI... if it can tell me. it would be great...

 

[Freyleyes]

I want to create the spell for an AoS, the spell sets a buff on the target for a few seconds, when the target attacks the caster, that unit will take that damage times a multiplier.

If you can do it in JASS could you please tel me how/

there is a damage detecting system here on the hive its in jass
heres the link https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f280/attack-damage-detection-engine-jass-33123/

 

[Mufanza]

And there is a damage detecting system on wc3campaigns and it's in GUI
Show damage using floating text (GUI) - Wc3campaigns
Just pick every unit in Playable Map area and add event
(Picked unit) takes an damage

 

[PurplePoot]

Notice that it leaks.
