Displaying DPS in the game interface

[TheG]

Hi Guys

I need some expert advice

How would you go about displaying DPS on the game interface (in the place where damage usually is displayed)?

I thought about writing a JASS function for this but do not know what variables to edit and how to display vars on the game interface.

That is not possible without hacking the game and rendering it visible only to you (and only visible to people who are using your hack, too). There is no JASS command to do it.

I don't mind it being displayed to everyone.

I just thought that it would be nice to know the DPS of an opposing hero before you go and confront him

Is there no way of doing this without hacking?

Well, unless you want to just have them calculate their dps....
Plus I don't know of anything to return the hero/unit's dmg to a string. Unless all damage was controlled by integers(aka trigger spells)

what is the name of the variable that the game uses to display the hero's damage? Coz i was thinking if you can't display it to everyone you can probably display it just to yourself by using the place where the game interface displays your resources...

Like I said, not possible.

I think the engine-limited cooldown for an attack is something like 0.1 seconds or 0.2 seconds, it's not very fast compared to what can be done with triggers.

You can use formula's to calculate it... otherwise not sure.
