Heavy Counter v1.0

Found this in my old codes unfinished, so I decided to be weird and just finish it in a random morning. Enjoy!

Great ability! But how do I make so it doesn't counter attacks from buildings?

• Conditions
  • (DamageEventTarget is in HC_Group.) Equal to True
  • (DamageEventSource is a Structure) Equal to False

  • (DamageEventSource is a Structure) equal to False

@Dinodin You can add this to the HC Counter trigger to ignore buildings.

Oh thanks for helping me out!

Pretty decent and simple spell. It's well coded.
The only thing I have to say is that in HC Counter you're setting variables

• Set Variable Set HC_Unit = DamageEventTarget
• Set Variable Set HC_TempData = (Custom value of HC_Unit)

when they're not necessary at all here. You're only using custom value of unit once. As for the other variable, DamageEventTarget already does the job, while at same time you're using it when causing damage.

Putting this into my notes for now. I think it has something to do with the original idea being overly complicated for the short time I had.

Seems pretty straightforward, simple, efficient and a decent idea.

I don't remember if in 1.32 there's the native BlzGroupGetSize, which basically gives you the amount of units in the group and it's more efficient than the one you're using, but you could use it instead of the "number of units in group" GUI one. It would look like this in HC Start:

• Actions
  • Set VariableSet HC_Unit = (Triggering unit)
  • Unit Group - Add HC_Unit to HC_Group
  • Set VariableSet HC_TempData = (Custom value of HC_Unit)
  • Set VariableSet HC_Level[HC_TempData] = (Level of HC_Ability for HC_Unit)
  • Set VariableSet HC_Duration[HC_TempData] = HC_Countertime[HC_Level[HC_TempData]]
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of HC_Unit using HC_Counterwait_SFX
  • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
  • Custom script: if BlzGroupGetSize(udg_HC_Group) == 1 then
  • Trigger - Turn on HC_LoopTrigger
  • Custom script: endif

Same logic for HC Loop.

Nonetheless, Approved.

I'll check the native and update if I remember (I usually just forgot altogether). Pretty sure 1.32 got that one.
