Damage Detection

[Mr_Bean]

Hi guys,

I know this is a long shot, but is there a damage detection system that only picks up physical attacks? I need this for one of my spell workshop requests.

Thanks,

i guess that impossible (idk about vjass part) because ability damage's dont got damage type declaration so to system the ability chain lightning damage is same than the normal autoattack.

if u want get the physical attacks then u must set ability damage to 0 for every ability in your map and do damage via trigger instead abilities and before the trigger damage use a variable for declare the damage type....

like:
Event: unit start casting
Condition: casted ability = firebolt
Action:
damagetype = 2
triggering damage to ability target with x damage blabla

and in damage modifier trigger (if u use DDS like Bribe Gui damage detection system) check damagetype value, if it is 0 = physical damage, else magical.

This is for a spell request that I'm doing, so I'm sure they don't want to make all damage triggered.
In my map I use a vJASS damage detection system written by J4L, so I understand about that.

It's possible. My old advanced damage detection system did that. However, it can cause serious issues : o, so I don't recommend it. The best way is to code all spells so that you can tell between physical and spell damage.

Hmmm, this is not good news
Like I said, this is for someone else's map, not mine.

Well, if you're ok with not being able to use any artillery damage and no multishot and possible bugging of attacks, you can go for the old advanced damage detection method, which is the only way to tell between physical attacks and spell attacks : ).

Thanks. I will ask the requester if that's okay.
Much appreciated.
