[JASS] Detecting weapon attack

[Deep Sea Kraken]

Im not sure what to call this, so I'll use an example. The mountain king has two weapons, one in each hand, is it possible to detect which weapon he attacks an enemy with?

You could use this for: adding effects like: bash one hand, crit the other or elemental effects.

I'm also not sure what section to put this in, but I'm 100% positive it would require JASS.

I don't believe so - each attack just counts as the attack order I believe, with random variations on the animation. If you could remove the random variation of the attack you might be able to somehow trigger in the animations using spells (either randomly trigger them or follow some system) - each spell would use a different animation.

The first step would really just be to eliminate the random attack variations.

Yeah, that would work, the only problem with that is could cause alot of lag, havign so calculate to chance then add the ability for the attack then remove it constantly would prolly lag after a while.

Actually if you do it right, it won't leak any memory so the game wouldn't slow down. Unless you're doing this on a few hundred units at the same time, you wouldn't really see any lag at all.

yeah, thats IF i can do it without any leaks -.-

The forum is here to help you - try putting it together and then ask to see if they can point out any leaks. Make sure you search around for information about leaks first though, otherwise you'll be met with a torch brigade.
