Damage unit from unit function?

[ikillforeyou]

I want to make a function that damages a unit, much like the one in warcraft III, so like, when you kill a unit you get a kill and experiance, so like "Damage 50 damage from Unit" something like that.

Is there already a function like this?

What should i use and can someone make a test map?

You're probably looking for this function:

• Environment - Execute Diamondback - Eviscerator (Beam) on Zergling [66.17, 80.21] from Hercules (Lander, Flying) [26.00, 13.50]

This will create an effect (in your case, a damaging effect; here: 'Diamondback - Eviscerator (Beam)) from a unit (the Hercules here) to a unit (the Zergling). There is, however, a small catch. The effects are made in the data-editor, so the damage done is a set amount of number.
This catch can be overridden by using the catalog functions, but I still need to take a look at those. :3

Okay, a basic quick tutorial:

1. create a damage effect called Damage.

Then, create an action definition roughly along the lines of this one:

• DamageUnit
  • Options: Action
  • Return Type: (None)
  • Parameters
    • damage = 0 <Integer>
    • target = No Unit <Unit>
    • source = No Unit <Unit>
  • Grammar Text: Deal amount damage on target from source.
  • Hint Text: (None)
  • Custom Script Code
  • Local Variables
  • Actions
    • Catalog - Set value of Effects "Damage" "Amount" for player Any Player to (String(damage))
    • Environment - Execute Damage on target from source

This allows you to deal any amount of damage to a unit from any unit. :O

Testing map plz =D

I tried that trigger and i got "Trigger - Could not get "Parameter" from "entry" in something something 120009394?

Did you create a damage effect called "Damage"?

Also, note that it is case sensitive.

It should work, though I don't have a testing map on me.
