[General] Is there a function that gets a unit's attack damage bonuses?

[bu3ny]

There are functions for base damage, number of dice, sides per dice, and for total attributes, so it is possible to get a hero's min-max attack damage (without bonuses) without relying on damage detection systems.

Is there a function available that spits out a unit's attack damage bonuses (e.g. the raw bonues of Blades of Attack, Command Aura, etc.), or are damage detection systems still the only way to get total attack damage of a unit?


Using the latest version of WC3.

I'm not sure if it's the best way, but I think you could achieve it by tracking the damage upgrades of the units.

For example if your unit has trueshot aura level 3 then the damage bonus would be 30% higher, or if you use a flat value it would be easier. Save all the bonuses to a real or similar and then add them together to calculate total bonus.

That is far too much effort and wouldn’t account for the unit being affected by some effect that it isn’t the source of. Getting around that requires a different buff for every level of every ability that alters damage.

It would be a lot of effort yeah, but if you make one big trigger and call it whenever needed he would only have to make it once.

I'm sure there are better ways though, just throwing suggestions out there.

Maybe with the new damage detection natives he can first calculate damage before bonuses are applied and then calculate the difference between the damage pre-bonus and post-bonus? I don't know how the new damage natives works so just a thought, not sure if it's possible.

In theory, you could somehow cycle through abilities (including ones from items from the inventory) and do some checks using this (but seems like way too much work):

native BlzGetAbilityIntegerLevelField              takes ability whichAbility, abilityintegerlevelfield whichField, integer level returns integer
native BlzGetAbilityRealLevelField                 takes ability whichAbility, abilityreallevelfield whichField, integer level returns real
