I wish there is a trigger that disable orb effect

[plazma019]

I want Blizzard Entertainment make that and non-triggered item with recipe

 

[DracoL1ch]

no. poor & non-scalable ideas

 

[plazma019]

yeah i said its corny

If they give us a proper <A unit is attacked> event, that triggers when a unit takes damage from an attack, then it would be a piece of cake to trigger any orb effect you want.

<A unit deals damage> would be better for spells as well (and DoT Effects).

I control-f-ed through common.j and found this:

constant unitevent EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED

It isn't mentioned in blizzard.j, which probably means that it isn't available in GUI, and I haven't tested it out or anything, but not everything that is possible can be done in GUI or by converting it to JASS.

Unless you mean strictly when a unit is dealt damage by an attack. I also haven't tested it.

Also I found these:

// EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED
constant native GetEventDamage takes nothing returns real
constant native GetEventDamageSource takes nothing returns unit

It is quite useful to read through common.j, because it might allow you to do things you were otherwise unable to do.

Yeah, but there is no <Any unit takes/deals damage> event built-in.

 

[Flame.Horror]

There are need 2 triggers, 1 triggers use to detect after a unit is entered to Playable Map Area and add a new event to next trigger (Entering unit - Takes Damage) and you can do your action now. However, i suggested you use Bribe Damage Engine will be better

I saw this done in an old map (Wc3 wow, or something)

• Some Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to SomeOtherTrigger <gen> the event (Unit - (Matching unit) Takes damage)

Which is a terrible way to do it, just use a Damage Detection System people.
