damaged when entering water?

[taxikar]

is it possible to do dps to a unit when it enters water without using regions/jass things?

Well, create a periodic trigger and make a check:

• Water Damage
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: if IsTerrainPathable (GetUnitX (GetEnumUnit()), GetUnitY (GetEnumUnit()), PATHING_TYPE_FLOATABILITY) == false then
        • Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 20.00 damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal
        • Custom script: endif

By the way, I'd use regions or some submerge trick to check that.

a lil' side question - would it damage flying units, that are above water?
