[Trigger] How to Detect Damage Type?

[xorkatoss]

Alright guys so I'm using the common damage trigger:

• Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire

I know I can detect if damage source is Normal Attack or Spell with this:

• (Damage From Normal Attack) Equal to True

but I can't find a way to detect what type of damage has been dealt e.g Fire, Cold, Lightning

all of the available Damage Types:

And I want to know if it's possible with GUI or Jass

I think this covers that:

Damage Engine 5.7.1.2

 

[GetLocalPlayer]

It is possible via script but they didn't add a GUI block for it

• Actions
  • Custom script: if BlzGetEventDamageType() == DAMAGE_TYPE_ACID then
  • -------- Your actions --------
  • Custom script: endif

Possible damage types:

Spoiler

DAMAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN
DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL
DAMAGE_TYPE_ENHANCED
DAMAGE_TYPE_FIRE
DAMAGE_TYPE_COLD
DAMAGE_TYPE_LIGHTNING
DAMAGE_TYPE_POISON
DAMAGE_TYPE_DISEASE
