Damage Engine not detecting spells

Arhowk · Feb 25, 2012

I dont know what happened... i was trying to use damage engine to make a make-shift charge that teleports the attacker to the unit with damage but the damage engine doesnt even detect it. As far as i can tell, i only made one change, putting a debug trigger before where it sets the variables and that doesnt show when i use the spell on an enemy.

My damage engine (bribe's)

...

why doesnt this run than

Game - Display to (All players) the text: fffffffffffffffff
Set DamageEventAmount = (Damage taken)
Set DamageEventSource = (Damage source)
Set DamageEventTarget = (Triggering unit)
Set DamageType = Unknown

why doesnt the "else" on the trigger print "g" than?

btw if i change the dmg on the storm bolt from 0 to like 500 i can easily see the changes

You could post the map with some test setup.

only top part matters

It doesnt even display the debug "tmrrrrr" if i get a player unit and go attack someone.

Also, slightly different problem with a customr respawn trigger

Where do you init the respawn system? Is the hashtable initialized?

I know im combining threads here but whatever.

the init for the hash

GetIndex

  - Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Hashtable - Create a hashtable
  - Set CreepRespawnTable = (Last created hashtable)
  - Set Temp_UnitGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_UnitGroup and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Set TempLoc = (Position of (Picked unit))
        
        Set TempReal = (X of TempLoc)
        
        Hashtable - Save TempReal as 1 of (Custom value of (Picked unit)) in (Last created hashtable)
        
        Set TempReal = (Y of TempLoc)
        
        Hashtable - Save TempReal as 2 of (Custom value of (Picked unit)) in (Last created hashtable)
        
        Set TempReal = (Facing of (Picked unit))
        
        Hashtable - Save TempReal as 3 of (Custom value of (Picked unit)) in (Last created hashtable)
        
        Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Temp_UnitGroup
  - Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_UnitGroup)

also, is there a way to scale special effects without dummy units?

shadowvzs · Feb 25, 2012

i got problem with damage detection only if:

1. Damage was 0, example

make triggering unit udg_dmg to spelltarget

if this dmg variable = 0 then dont show the damage

2. if damage is negative

if u put something like this to ur trigger then also dont work?

if DamageEventAmount <= 0 then
set DamageEventAmount = 0.01
endif

right, i used
DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 :/ sry

You'd always need dummy units to scale special effects.

Can you please upload a test map with some simple elements? I just tested it with the current Damage Engine and it works just fine for something like Faerie Fire.

Its not a special effect but rather than an attachment. I can do it with the item capture the flag ability too but that doesnt scale either so im wondering how to do it without making the dummy unit, setting the height correctly, and ordering it to follow..

Steps to Produce

1) start with always vis on
2) Go to the circle to choose the hero and notice the teeny tiny wings
3) Hit the damage target and notice that it doesnt trigger
4) Go into the cave in the topleft of the town and kill rats and notice that it triggers when rat attacks hero and hero attacks rat
5) Say "berer" to get ur hero pimp and go down the ramp to attack kobolds
6) Notice how kobolds attacking you produces the debug but you attacking kobold doesnt
7) Notice how the kobold respawn in the middle of the ocean after 15 seconds

shadowvzs · Feb 27, 2012

when i tryed modify a bit the set damage trigger then WE jngp save the map without error, wc3 started but i cant start the map idk why but anyway i got a question, what happen if u put a simple

Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(DamageEventAmount))

at end of the set damage trigger?

coz there alot if (also most of them got condition with DamageEventType mmust be 0 or unit got ability or something)

Arhowk · Feb 27, 2012

idk what your saying shadow, i load the map just fine.

anyway, this isnt a problem with my map its with the damage engine not registering pre-placed units (in the above instructions, the reasons the rats returned the debug is because they are trigger placed)

I contacted bribe about it

Bribe · Feb 28, 2012

I don't know why your preplaced units have issues but that is not a damage event proven

Damage Engine not detecting spells
