[Solved] Get a life regen bonus when acquiring an item

[Purgatory]

Hello, straight to the point, i have an idea of creating an item which has an ability to grants bonus life regen once we own it (having it in our inventory), but that life regen bonus are disabled temporarily if we taking damage (direct attack or spell damage) from any enemy heroes, and after few seconds if we no longer taking damage from enemy heroes, we have that life regen bonus again.

The question is, how to do that? any suggest?

You will probably need to use a DDS (Damage Detection System), to detect when damage is dealt. You can either add/remove a regen ability accordingly or trigger the regeneration.
You need to store a real variable for each unit, to know how long it has not been damaged.

A DDS would be needed. Added from @Jampion post, I would recommend changed the item as well for player's notice.

Maybe it's possible to use the items cooldown to indicate the time until regeneration starts. Also a buff could be a good idea to show when the regeneration is active.

Solved! found it my self, i used a unit is attacked event, then check if the attacked unit has that specific item, then i add negated regeneration to the attacked unit. Thanks for the replies though

At first, i use the fountain regeneration aura which regenerate health by percentage, but since it was an aura, it has delayed timing when added and removed from the attacked unit, so i think it was unreliable. so then i use normal life regen which regenerate by fixed number (i.e. ring of health)

Attack event doesn't mean hit event. Also attack unit doesn't react on damage caused by spells.
Also Also adding/removing negative regeneration is kinda complicated.

Can I also submit my solution at the problem? It's quite similar to Fruit Forest's and most likely Dota's Heart of Tarrasque.
