Issuing "Damage Taken" to a variable?

[ShadowHunter]

I have a small problem concerning my recent spell. Voodoo Doll, it has probably been attempted before and succeeded but I still want to learn more about the possibilities the WE has to offer. Anyway.
When you use the event "A unit takes damage" it wants you to use an existing variable, an already placed unit on the map, but I want it as a UnitVariable.
Is there any way of doing this? I tried it by using JASS, I changed the value that specifies what unit and replaced with udg_MyUnit but when I tested it, it did nothing.

// Thanks in beforehand

"Generic Unit Event - a unit is attacked" could work depending on what you want to do with

Basically I want it to register the damage taken against the UnitVar1 then damage UnitVar2.

Add the event at realtime, not upon initialization.

In that case, it works fine.

Or, here's an alternative.

It worked perfectly to just add the event, cause then it will take all unit variables instead of the ones already existing in the map. The JASS method seems a bit complicated... wish I knew more. Anyway, thanks again! =D

Problem with the event way is that it leaks, because the events last forever. Which is why I posted a link to the Jass way at all

 

[ShadowHunter]

Oh, haha .
But it's good to do it with the event way first, so that I can get a general perspective of my spell, then when I'm done I can adjust it

Also, isn't there some sort of custom script you can put in instead, like call DestroyEvent or something?

 

[PurplePoot]

Nope, you'd have to destroy+recreate the trigger, which would destroy all the events.

.. how do I do that? >.<

Edit: Ah Never mind, just remembered that you gave me a link on how to make it leak safe

Edit: Wait a minute.... I'm using the same variable over and over again... That means I do not need the big script, I just add the event once and I'm done =D
