Healing Detection

[mattstheman]

Quick Question:

Well I know how to make a damage detection system that creates floating text above the unit for how much damage you deal... blah blah blah

Is there a way to detect how much health was healed on an ally or self and create a green floating text over that person? Is it possible in GUI or does it have to be jass?

Please post the answer or a link to a useful system (preferably GUI)

I'm afraid there is no easy way. =(

Even with JASS, there is no healing detection event as far as I know.

I think the best way to do this would be to add the texttags in all your healing spells manually.

Try manually triggering something to deal negative damage.

You firstly need to make a trigger, that counts the regeneration of the hero. After that, you will make a trigger that checks when one of your healing abilities is cast. Up to the cast delay of each of the abilities, you will create one timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds for example. You will save the target unit (the healed one) to the timer and load it when the timer expires. If the health of the unit becomes greater than the default regeneration, it means that it got healed. Make an abstraction of health a and health b (b is the after-heal) and you'll get the amount of heal.

I tried that and it works with only a few flaws that I'm working out. Thank you!
