Damaging invulnerable targets

[SkriK]

• Unit - Cause Unit to damage Unit

Does this action work on units that are Invulnerable?

Why don't you try it? It would take much less time to figure it out by trial and error than asking here and waiting for an answer.

Ok, i did, my bad
But now i got another question:
Which condition to use for invulnerable units? I looked through booleans but can't find anything :<
I'm looking for something like:

• ((Picked unit) is Invulnerable) Equal to (==) False

Try Unit Has Buff and look for the appropriate Invulnerable buff.

That assumes that you have some ability like Divine Shield there.
I don't know how you would detect if a unit just has the invulnerable ability....

 

[emperor_d3st]

There is no way to check if a unit is invulnerable or not, not in GUI.
Jass doesn't have a function like this either, but you can create a custom jass function for it.
If you know Jass here are some links:

Invulnerable units can take damage, they can receive buffs and suffer from buff effects. However an invulnerable unit has equivently 100% damage reduction for all kinds of damage and so can never be killed by having damage delt to it. Dealing damage to an invulnerable unit is a waste of computer recources as it is as useful as "call DoNothing()".

As DSG just said, it's most unlikely possible, however, the Kill Unit action still works.

i think he is trying to detect the invulnerability for a reason, else he just would have damaged the unit and be done with it

anyhow, the buff check seems to be the most effective one, but if they are invulnerable by the ability "Invulnerable (Neutral)" you can just check if the unit has the ability

and if you have added invulnerability by a trigger, just give it the "Invulnerable (Neutral)"
