How to get a unit's base damage?

[CoLd Bon3]

Hi! I want to ask how i can save an unit's base attack damage in a hashtable (if it's possible) ??? +rep for reward!

Not possible, the only way you can is to save all unit attacks into integers. Might take time, but its the only way.

Or you could do this:
Create a dummy unit with enough HP, no HP regen, no armor and I suggest you use divine armor (set all the damage values to 1.00, so it always takes 100% damage).
Create the unit whose base attack you want to store and attack the unit (only once!)
The dummy's max HP - the dummy's current HP should be about the base damage.

Of course, if some units have damage like 10-20, then it could differentiate from time to time.
There is no foolproof way of doing this without having to create variables to store all data in.
Either way, it's something Blizzard should have added, but didn't.

You can create a data system using hashtables to store anything you want, even unit base damage. However there is no way to efficiently get unit base damage from a unit type or unit reference so you would probably need a lot of hard coded values. Some scripts can help to automate the process by looking up unit type values automatically.
