[General] Immortal Enemy

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey.

I'm asking from you how to create one pretty simple system.

Player fights normally against a boss enemy and it will take damage. However, the boss cannot be actually killed. It can be lowered to 1 hit points but cannot be killed.

How I do that? Map is attached where you could add your system.

Rep and credits for the helpers.

 

[Maker]

You can use Weep's damage detection. I can upload a map in a few minutes.

You can use this trigger for simplicity (it worked)

• Immortal
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Blood Mage
  • Actions
    • Set DyingLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at DyingLoc, Hide revival graphics
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to 1.00
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_DyingLoc)

But make sure to make that unit as "Hero Unit", otherwise it won't work (you have to either use Replace Unit or Create Unit Action)

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well ins't that a bit cheap?

 

[defskull]

That's why I said "for simplicity", you doesn't need tons or massive amount of trigger or even DamageEvent-type trigger to cope with

But I guess you're working big... so I suggest you should also go big for your trigger...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yeah well that would bug I'm sure of that.

Well anyway thanks for your idea anyway.

If this is only for one unit, you can do this:

• PreventDeath Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - Footman 0003 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - (Damage taken)) Less than 0.41
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Damage taken) + 0.41)
      • Else - Actions

 

[defskull]

Nice trigger you got there Maker.

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

my suggestions . hope it works

• PreventDeath
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is Attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to (your unit)
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Life of (Triggering unit)) is less or equal to 3%
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to 1
        • Else - Actions

If this is only for one unit, you can do this:

• PreventDeath Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - Footman 0003 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Footman 0003 <gen>
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - (Damage taken)) Less than 0.41
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Damage taken) + 0.41)
      • Else - Actions

Best solution here, although I don't get your Event/Condition - both do actually the same :S
Remove the condition please ;P

 

[Maker]

UnHolyDarKness, that will cause the unit to die, since the unit's life will be reduced by the damage after you set the life to 1.

Spinnaker, yeah. I made it first Weep's damage detection so it worked for all units. Then I simplified it for only one unit, and somehow got blind to the condition

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

my bad.. sorry ...
how about making a variable that will hold the damage that is taken and add it to the life of the immortal or wtever he is ?
its the same as u did but its in an another way
regards

 

[Bannar]

Better stick to solutions already tested )

@Aeroblyctos For making it MUI use Bribe's DamageEvent or Weep's GDD.

 

[defskull]

I'm pretty sure he wants it to be unique (a single unit only), is it?

 

[mckill2009]

It can be lowered to 1 hit points but cannot be killed.

• event
  • unit is attacked
• condition
  • triggering unit equals to BOSS_UNIT
• actions
  • set life of triggering unit to 100%

EDIT:
another method without using triggers...

edit the boss stats in object editor, change the armour to divine then change the regeneration
to 1000...

 

[defskull]

Basically, by using Unit is Attacked Event, won't help you much with this situation because it should detect damage, not incoming damage.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey everyone. Thanks for helping me out here.

I love Maker's trigger. It does the job and it's really simple.

Thanks again, this will be really useful trigger.

If this is only for one unit, you can do this:

• PreventDeath Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - Footman 0003 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - (Damage taken)) Less than 0.41
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Damage taken) + 0.41)
      • Else - Actions

 

[Bribe]

That trigger will work in most reasonable cases, the only time it won't do
the job is if the damage dealt is greater than the unit's max hp.

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

just note

That trigger will work in most reasonable cases, the only time it won't do
the job is if the damage dealt is greater than the unit's max hp.

and that would be some kind of a pretty imba spell ooorrr a critical strike

 

[Aeroblyctos]

That trigger will work in most reasonable cases, the only time it won't do
the job is if the damage dealt is greater than the unit's max hp.

Aha, good to know that.

 

[Bribe]

If you want a trigger to make the unit invulnerable you should use
DamageModifier and set the DamageEventAmount to 0. No matter
how big the damage is the unit will completely block it if you wish.

 

[Bannar]

Bribe, could you show me egzample of such trigger using your modifier? Till now I was blocking damage using my own scripts, but you said that using your system it's just one line: Set DamageEventAmount to 0. I can't archieve the 100% block by doing so. ;/

 

[Bribe]

You have to re-download the Damage Modifier there was a bug
in the last version when setting the damage to 0.

 

[Bannar]

Amazing advice.
