How to Detect Healing Done

[neo_sluf]

So i want to know how to know how much the unit's Healing Done..

Applicable in all abilities.. and i don't to trigger it as to every individual abilities..

A summary on the other hand..

Any type of healing done as long as the player gains a health..

ur explanation is confusing plz explain it a lot better than this.
i believe ur trying to see how much one unit heals another unit.
u will need to trigger this when the ability is cast that heals. then use a hashtable and save the real into a hashtable keyed to that unit.

I think neo_sluf meant how to detect when an item that heals finishes regenerating a unit's health.

you have to trigger everything you cant detect it otherwise

You'd have to periodically (every 0.03) check every unit's HP, and compare it to its previous value, then save it in a variable.

You should only use this method if you're going to have one hero per player, any more and you should rather trigger all heals.

It's easier to trigger abilities/heals.

This way you can record the exact values, not counting regen.

Thats a good idea lol. I figured triggering the healing would be more efficient. Is this only more efficient when there is 1 unit per player ?

You kinda need unit indexer.

Then make it loop to UDex, and for each UdexUnits[Udex] make a variable Life[Array]

Then have a trigger check it every decisecond.

 

[deathismyfriend]

the whole point of unit indexer is speed if u loop to find which unit then its useless.
all u for unit indexer is use hashtable and store data to the custom value of the unit in the hashtable.

if u use an array this method will be slower and less efficient because u will have to loop like that.

 

[Xonok]

Bullshit. Unit indexer does not require you to loop in any way.

You just take the custom value(userdata) of the unit and this is your array index.

That's just a general figure. It will vary per PC of course, and based on what other trigger systems there are.

It will "work" for hundreds or even thousands of units, but I wouldn't use it for more than a few dozen (for performance reasons).

oo ok i was just looking for efficiency wise lol. Thats good to know tho lol

 

[rulerofiron99]

So I remembered that I had made a system like this before. Attached.

The period is set to 1 second, so it should allow for quite a few units.

It does however use hashtables, which are slower than arrays + udex.
