I've met with a problem, and I need help solving it.

[sonicfreak1234]

Usually, if we have a building for the players to destroy as an objective, but we have another set of players that are suppose to defend it. What if a defending player turns around and sabotage his/her team by destroying the building that they are suppose to protect?

Thus, I've tried to make a trigger which detects said sabotage attempts.. It has worked, but I am faced with one problem. The problem is that the system will only detect "direct attacks", that would mean ordering a unit to "attack" the building. The system, however, cannot detect other attacking ways such as "attack ground".

This is a problem, because if I can't make it detect attack ground, the system becomes useless. So I was wondering if anyone in the forum knows how to create a trigger that can detect an attack ground action that is harming said building. Only said building.

Many thanks in advance.

If you're not interested in a damage detecting system you could also use this
provided that the building is preplaced it.

• Anti Sabo
  • Events
    • Unit - Base <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Damage source) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Base))) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Kill/Pause (Damage source)
        • Unit - Set life of Base <gen> to ((Life of Base <gen>) + (Damage taken))
      • Else - Actions

If not preplaced I believe you could do this:

• Trigger - Add to Anti Sabo <gen> the event (Unit - Base Takes damage)

And you could set Base as soon as its finished making or however the main base is established.

you dont need to detect damage instance at all
Even dota does use Unit starts the attack as event for not killing creeps that are not under certain % of health. You can do the same

The problem they have is not direct attacks, its indirect such as attack ground, Flame Strike, things of this nature.

Maker's solution seems to be the best.

ahh thats right, I didnt read the full topic, just the first part

Then yes, as Xonok says, makers solution is the best

You don't need to fix everything by a trigger.Go to your unit in object editor and remove "Friendly" from Target allowed and Aoe target allowed.
