Damage Detection Questions

[sniper_zero]

Let's say I wanted to make a spell where you make a barrier around yourself that blocks incoming damage. How do I do that if I'm using Weep's GDD Engine?

I tried it first by increasing the damaged unit's life by twice the amount of the damage taken only to realize that's not the best way to do it. The unit still takes damage from the first attack and still dies when it takes damage greater than it's max life.

If I understand what your question is than can't you just base it off divine shield?

Or Berserk with negative damage taken field, so you won't take any damage from any attacks.

As far as I know, GDD doesn't have support for blocking damage (although it can be done). I'd suggest you to use Bribe's damage engine instead. With it you can simply use the damage modifier event and set the damage to 0. (Don't forget to copy that cheat death ability)

Because then that would make the unit invulnerable. I'm trying to make a spell like the antimagic shield (new) which can block a set amount of damage.

I'll check it out. I haven't tried that system out yet.

Use this system: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/physical-damage-detection-gui-v1-0-0-2-a-231846/

Then use a trigger

OnDamage Events Game - damageEventTrigger becomes Equal to 1.00 Conditions Actions Set amount = 0.00

That will block all damage taken by any unit. Apply some conditions to make it work for only the units you want.
