First Time Using a DDS, How do i shape the trigger?

[Goblintrain]

Hi! I DL Weep's DDS because i needed something real simple to help with a trigger. The trigger is supposed to simulate a life-steal for attackers carrying the buff. But i am still pretty confused. I will post the third installment of the trigger package, becayse it is the one where the DDS is supposed to come into play. I can't seem to get the life steal to happen this way. I am tempted to just go back to adding/removing ItemLifesteal ability, & saying the vampiric attack only applies to melee units.

But here is the trigger.

• Unholy Link 3
  • Events
    • Game - DamageEventAmount becomes Greater than or equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has buff Unholy Reduction (UF base)) Equal to True
    • ((Attacked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
    • ((Attacked unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False
    • ((Attacked unit) is Mechanical) Equal to False
    • ((Attacked unit) is an illusion) Equal to False
    • ((Attacked unit) is dead) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: The Elven scum must...
    • Set PDD_Target = (Attacked unit)
    • Set PDD_Source = (Attacking unit)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (PDD_Source is A ranged attacker) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of PDD_Source to ((Life of PDD_Source) + ((DamageEventAmount / 2.00) x ((Real((Level of PDD_Target))) / (Real((Level of PDD_Source))))))
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of PDD_Source to ((Life of PDD_Source) + (DamageEventAmount x ((Real((Level of PDD_Target))) / (Real((Level of PDD_Source))))))

where

The event responses are the following variables:
// GDD_Damage is the amount of damage, replacing Event Response - Damage Taken.
// GDD_DamagedUnit is the damaged unit, replacing Event Response - Triggering Unit.
// Triggering Unit can still be used, if you need to use waits.
// Read the -- Notes -- section below for more info.
// GDD_DamageSource is the damaging unit, replacing Event Response - Damage Source.

You don't use (Attacking unit) and (Attacked unit) on an Unit is Damaged event. Instead, replace attacking unit with GDD_DamageSource and attacked unit with GDD_DamagedUnit

Ok, all i can say for certain is that the failure is occurring in the Event phase. Even removing all the conditions, the trigger still does not even make it to

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: The Elven scum must be slaughtered!!!

So... i guess i am confused how to arrange events now with the DDS in place. The variables in play make it all look more complicated than it was before.[/trigger]

If you checked the system documentation you'd notice that this is the correct event:
Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00

Actually i did read the documentation... just none of it made any sense to me!

But TY anyway Chaosy, it seems to slowly be sorting itself out.

At least the units health meter is moving in the right direction now!
