Detecting In-game Debuff Damage

[scourge069]

I already posted this but I didnt got what I needed...Here is my problem ..

(Hey guys I made a simple trigger that would cause a specific unit type not to take damage if the damage source does not have a specific buff I created, at first, it was working fine but as I attacked that specified unit with a hero that has a incinerate based spell, the unit still takes damage..


I even tried using a DDS for it but still nothing changes,
Please help me..
What do I need to do to detect damage taken from Incinerate based spell (note: I'm talking about the stacking damage effect of Incinerate) and prevent it from causing damage the specified unit type...)

Pleasse I need a GUI trigger on this ...please ..

You don't need this

• Trigger - Add to Team Boss Damage Event <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)

Just make "unit is attacked"
"attacked unit is in unit group"
"attacked unit has golden sword effect"

"set team_bossunit = attacked unit"
"set team_bossunitdmgtaken = damage taken"

*There is jack point in that timer*

• Unit - Set life of TEAM_BOSSUNIT to ((Life of TEAM_BOSSUNIT) + TEAM_BOSSDMGTAKEN)

I tried what you said just now and its not what I need...please read the very top of this thread sir..

unit is attacked - event??

actions -
event response - damage taken does can't even be detected using your suggestion..but still thanks for trying to help,..that trigger I posted as suggested by Bribe seems to be the only method that does what I'm looking for but I don't know if its correct that is why I posted it so that maybe you guys could help me improve it if necessary..

Damage Detection System Here

that DDS is the same with other DDS I used, can you take a look at my triggers??(the ones I posted above)...and see what's wrong with those if there are any??cause they seem to be working fine for me..

Hey I am actually working on a map and i am using Bribes Damage System. So I was confronted with the same problem I solved it by triggering the normal damage only able by a damageamount of over 4 points.

So I am able to for example if a unit is hitted by stormbolt i put the normal stormbolt damage by 0.05 points and then I triggered the spell that if damageamount is 0.05 set DamageAmount to for example 100-150 points.

It works fine but You have to set the damage of spells in the Gameplay Constants to 100% on each Armor type. It also works with DOTs for example you use Unholy Frenzy
If DamageAmount = 0.06 Set DamageAmount = 50 For example.

But Dont forget that each spell has to have another damageamount

but have you tried using spells based on INCINERATE ???cause that's the part where I'm having troubles with dude...I've tried many DDS for this , but still, nothing seems to change ..ty for the reply ..+REP

Yeah thats easy for example I created a Spell for my mage known from WoW called Firebolt
My Firebolt causes an instant damage of for example 100 and a dot over 5 sek causing 10 damage per sek.

But you have to use 2 spells the first one is: DamageAmount = Example: 0.05 Set DamageAmount = 100
(The Next part I put in another trigger otherwise it didnt worked on my map dont know why.)
If DamageAmount = 0.05 then Create DummyUnit (an invisible unit use as Custom Model File <nothing> so you wont be able to click it and turn its shadow to <None>

Order DummyUnit to cast Unholy Frenzy (FireboltDOT) on DamageEventTarget

It will be triggered with

If DamageAmount = 0.06 Set DamageAmount = 10

Create another Trigger

Event - A unit casts spell

Spell = FireboltDOT

wait 1 sek.
Remove Triggering Unit

It works perfectly on my map ^^ With Critical Strike and Resistence etc etc.
