Hey!

I have a slight problem with the high ground misses. The chance to miss is not exactly the problem, but apparently it's impossible to detect a miss. The thing is, in my map all attacks cost mana and I would want missed attacks to cost mana as well.

So, I thought I could change the Chance to Miss (moving or high ground) to 100% and then just reduce the damage, but the Gameplay Constant "Combat - Missed Attack Damage Factor" doesn't seem to have any effect (the missed attack never does any damage and always displays the "miss" text).

Is there a way to either:
- A) Make "missed" attacks somehow do damage (so that they can be detected by a DDS)?
- B) Detect if the units are at different elevation levels and do the damage reduction / miss chance in the DDS damage modifier trigger?
- C) Detect missed attacks (with a DDS)?

(I'm using Bribe's Damage Engine)

But that would require to somehow detect when the attacker is on a lower level than the one it's attacking. Checking current flight height doesn't work, because that obviously checks how high a flyer is, not how high the ground is.
