how do i count hits or damge

[Dracula]

how do i count hits or damage like if a unit hits 100 times give him 1 exp, or if a unit do his own damage and give same amount of exp.

Hi there again,

i am not sure cause its been a long time since mapping for me but try out the following:

I found an old testmap of mine where i implemented something like this.

Its quite difficult cause u have to calculate and do the damage by yourself.

This is my Trigger-Code

Trigger Unit Attack
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        (Attacking unit) Equal to AD&D Hero 0000 <gen>
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        Unit - Set life of (Attacked unit) to ((Life of (Attacked unit)) + 1.00)
        Set DamageP[1] = (Random integer number between WeaponMinDamageP[1] and WeaponMaxDamageP[1])
        Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(DamageP[1])) above (Attacked unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        Set DamageInfoP[1] = (Last created floating text)
        Unit - Set life of (Attacked unit) to ((Life of (Attacked unit)) - (Real(DamageP[1])))
        Wait (10.00 / (Real((Agility of AD&D Hero 0000 <gen> (Include bonuses))))) seconds
        Floating Text - Destroy DamageInfoP[1]
        Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Hope this helps u.

hmm i dont really get it am not good with variables, too lazy to learn them and all... i think i can do things without variables so i dont wanna learn them, i think the count hits can be found or made in the condition->intger condition.

Heh, and how do you want to put value in condition withouth variable? Variables are your friends and it is really easy - imo easiest than write your last post

ok i found this way but i dont know if its gonna work or not, it doesnt need variable, ok first i make a small lil unit and put it anywhere in the make, then i make a item with 100charge and give it to the unit, then do trigger if a unit attacks use 1 charge, then if then item reachs 0 charge remove item and and give it another 100charge, and add 1 damage to attacking unit, btw this might work with no variable but how do i add 1 damage. :\

EDIT:

this sounds easy to u, does that mean u can make it happen?

 

[$h@dow]

Lol

i make a small lil unit and put it anywhere in the make, then i make a item with 100charge

This is not a good way. Takes more performance then working with variables. Its not hard to learn it, trust me.

hm.. alot of people said variable is easy, but i dont find a good way to use them, or i dont even know how to learn them, i try to mess around with them, but its only set this unit = last create unit or so...

Some explaination:

A variable is an object which can be everything. There r different datatypes of variables i. e. Integer (Only round numbers) String (Text) Float (Numbers)

You have to set a Variable i. e.

Set Integer1 = 5

Later then u can use this Variable

Set Hitpoints of X Unit to Integer1

Why is it useful?

One advantage is that it helps you with modifiing ur map i. e.
instead of changing one value in all your triggers (like add X hp) u have only to change the variable if u r using it.

 

[Dracula]

can u show me another way? i didnt get that, cause maybe u can just set the units hitpoint to 5? and without using a variable.

As for counting hits

Unit - Set the custom value of UNIT to ((Custom value of UNIT)) + 1)

Like, you would increase that value each time you hit, and once it becomes 99... etc...
This should not be of any problems.
(Unless you already used custom value for another purpose...)
2.)
Now if you are already using custom values for a unit for another purpose after all, you would have to use gamecache, which requires some knowledge with JASS.

function game_cache takes nothing returns gamecache   
    if (udg_gamecache==null) then
        call FlushGameCache(InitGameCache("hax.w3v"))
        set udg_gamecache=InitGameCache("hax.w3v")
    endif
    return udg_gamecache
endfunction

function SetHandleInt takes handle subject, string name, integer value returns nothing
    if value==0 then
        call FlushStoredInteger(game_cache(),I2S(H2I(subject)),name)
    else
        call StoreInteger(game_cache(), I2S(H2I(subject)), name, value)
    endif
endfunction

This "stores" an integer into a unit, meaning, you will be able to retrieve the stored integer from that unit anytime,using

function GetHandleInt takes handle subject, string name returns integer
    return GetStoredInteger(game_cache(), I2S(H2I(subject)), name)
endfunction

This basicly does the same as Custom Values.

K', that's it for counting hits, now counting damage is a totally different story, but unfortunately I didn't get what you wanted...

or if a unit do his own damage

???...
You can get damage with

Damage Taken

using

 Event - Unit takes Damage

Do you want to save the total damage dealt?
Then use the same procedure as before, only that this time:

function GetHandleReal...

Store Reals instead of Integers
Oh and, your sense of "not using global variables as much as possible" is a right way to think.
You should learn JASS, I feel you can do it.

thx, i always wanted to know some JASS, but i try to learn it its too hard, i was only up to the converting triggers into text, and the rest i dont really get, so i was thinking ill learn them the normal way, like the normal way i learn how do use WE, i didnt take no tutorial and stuff just comes by.

btw thx for posting the JASS but i dont get it, so am not gonna use it, i dont use the stuff i dont know sry.
