Detection of damage type?

[cr4ck4r]

You can do damage with triggers.

Is there any way to detect the "damage type"?
like cold, fire, lightning.. ?

( I want to make a "element damage system" smilar to diablo 2 ...
or is there something smilar out there? )

so
for example if a

unit takes damage
   damagetype = fire
       then action ..

?
Help please

Blizzard never did anything with the majority of those damage types.
There are only 4 real damage types: Normal, Enhanced, Magic and Universal. The rest is useless.

So no: you cannot detect them. You'll have to create your own elemental system (as Blizzard never created one for Warcraft 3).
Simply create a variable (integer, probably) and set that variable to the elemental type (e.g.: fire is 0, lightning is 1, ice is 2, ...).

If it specifically is damage type you want to fiddle with I can't help you, but with the triggers you can also decide on attack type, and these can be altered via the Gameplay Constants and Interface-thingy (shit, I can't even remember what the Interface-thingy is called xD). So that way you could change those into different elemental types.

Perhaps you meant something entirely different, but I'm saying this anyway.
