Life drain bug

[DracoL1ch]

If the unit received bonus hit points from Life Drain (meaning he exceeded maximum amount, this require Gameplay constants' flag), he won't fire "unit_damaged" event at all, while bonus exists allow to use GetEventDamage, returning 0. That means mapmaker won't be able to detect any damage received by "boosted" unit.

This removes all purposes of using this skill's feature at all.

Test map attached below (5th post).

Repro - suck some HP from footies and look at debug msgs

That's new. Pretty much why Life Drain bugs out DDS I think.

Please provide a minimal testmap, I do not know of this issue and can not reproduce it easily.

At one point I tried using siphon mana to set mana separately from its maximum. Turns out that not only is it not possible, the game doesn't even return anything higher than max for current mana.

Well, a bit different - GetEventDamage returns 0 instead. I can detect damage event, but without knowning how much damage has been done, it's impossible to separate it from anything.

You could use mana shield and detect damage done through mana lost or damage a dummy unit in place of the real unit.
