[JASS] Damage Detection of any kind

[genkidesuka]

Hey guys,

I'm making a Stealth spell incredibly similar to the World of Warcraft spell that Rogues have. The essentials are that it decreases movement speed on activation (instead of increasing as traditional Wind Walk does), and will break if ANY damage is taken.

I've got the reduced movement speed down (I hope) but still am lacking the damage detection. I'm fairly new to JASS so there's probably some simple solution that I'll bang my head against the wall about later, but could you guys humor me please?

The really complicated damage detection Blizzard has made:

• Events
• Unit - A Unit is damaged
• Conditions
• Triggering Unit has Stealth buff Equal to True

shift klick movement speed bonus and insert -20 or something

read the whole post next time, okay

anyhow, there is no A unit Takes damage event, so this is a common trick to make this work in GUI atleast

• Trigger 1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Learns a Skill
• Conditions
  • (Learned skill) Equal to Stealth
  • ((Learning unit) is in StealthGroup) Equal to False
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Add (Learning unit) to Stealth Group
  • Trigger - Add to Trigger 2 <gen> the event ((Learning unit) Takes damage)

• Trigger 2
• Events
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) has Stealth buff) Equal to True)
• Actions
  • Unit - Remove Stealth buff from (Triggering unit)

take those as examples and turn them into better JASS triggers

dont get why the event is when the unit learn the skill and why u have that group

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - "Unit" Takes Damage
  • Conditions
    • (Damage taken) Greater than (>) 0.00
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Stealth buff from (Triggering unit)

• Other Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to (==) "Stealth"
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to "trigger" the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes Damage)

becouse we want as few units in Trigger 2 as possible becouse else the game will lag(i think) in lategame

the unit group is there becouse it hinders Trigger 1 from adding the same unit twice or trice into Trigger 2

you could also check if the learned skill level is 1, instead of checking if it is in the group

hmm..... that would work too
