It's so complicated :/ I don't understand a thing... Another question: Can I get how many life unit has before he gets damaged?

 

[Meticulous]

If you're using the GUI Damage Engine, "(Life of DamageEventTarget) + (DamageEventAmount)" should give you their HP before the damage.

How and where do I put the "(Life of DamageEventTarget) + (DamageEventAmount)"? Don't blame me I'm such a noob

PS: I followed the instruction on how to install the GUI Damage Engine and it doesn't say I have to add variables, but the world editor disables those triggers because it leaks variables... What to do?

 

[Meticulous]

The world editor doesn't disable triggers because they leak. Post the error message you're getting word for word.

I think there is something called real - Get Event Damage

Make a trigger setting a variable then delete the variable and the trigger will be disabled.

The current life of the triggering unit in response to a damage event is the life the unit has before the damage is dealt. The damage response event fires before damage is dealt to the unit's life.

The current life of the triggering unit in response to a damage event is the life the unit has before the damage is dealt. The damage response event fires before damage is dealt to the unit's life.

You mean I could do:

• LifeBeforeDamage
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set LifeBfrDamage = (Life of (Attacked unit))

And that would be the life of the unit before he gets damaged?

Edit: Just tested out, it worked. Didn't saw the kStiyl comment, it was the most accurate to what I needed. Thank you all for helping me

 

[Dr Super Good]

And that would be the life of the unit before he gets damaged?

No, because that trigger is not hooked with a damage response event. You are just sampling the life of the unit when another unit attacks it. Remember that attacks fire when a unit initiates an attack sequence and have nothing to do with damage or even if the attack complets (you can interupt an attack before the unit fires a projectile / lands a hit).

Make a trigger setting a variable then delete the variable and the trigger will be disabled.

That isn't a leak, that's a syntax error.

 

[Dr Super Good]

then delete the variable

JASS does not support this opperation.
