Mysteriously healing enemies

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey,

I would like to hear all stories of this bug. I need more clues to fix the problem.

Some enemies(especially bosses) will gain heal when a spell is cast to them

 

[noob]

Does it have an DDS(I heard some DDS use an *-1 spell reduction ability and then multiply the damage by -1 again and so know if it is an spell and stuff of this kind but the possibility it could invert damage is more an legend than other stuff)

 

[Vinz]

You might be using looking_for_help's Physical Damage Detection as it is the most common DDS that has this problem. However, the problem is not in the system itself but thread crashes and interference from outside, intended or not.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

What is DDS? How much hit points the enemies will gain? Is it really by every time you target a spell to the enemy?

I think I've used somewhere the ability that gives "magic resistance"(the item ability). Maybe this is the cause?

 

[Vinz]

DDS is a Damage Detection System. Though it functions properly most of the time, thread crashes can bug it. Thread crashes commonly happen when you divide by 0 or use an uninitialized variable, most likely a local.

Note that I don't know any thing in this matter and am just quoting edo494/Xonok because they answered me when I asked this as well.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Oh yes I have a Damage Detection System, now I rememeber. Maybe I should simply delete it or what?

 

[Vinz]

I don't know, depwnds on how badly you need it. What do you use it for? Floating Text Damage?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

If I remember right, for Floating Texts, yes. I'm not at home, I can't check it.

 

[Xonok]

Who is the damage detection made by? Also, do you actually use damage modification or do you only use it to detect damage?

If it's the one by lfh and you need it, then you'd probably do better by just fixing up your damage handler(s).

 

[Vinz]

If all spells in your map that need detection are triggered, you can try Bribe's Damage Engine.

I will check it out who made the system when I'm at home. I think I'm using the system mostly for Floating Text but perhaps there's like 1 ability that uses it too.

I'm not that good at coding and I didn't understand a bit about the system. I just put it to the campaign and hoped it to work. It seems like it gave me just more trouble. Shame.

I don't have motivation / time to try understand how to fix such a system / create my own. So I simply... Delete it I guess if it just removes the floating texts. Those are pretty useless anyway.

Not all spells are triggered; enemy spells are about 50% triggered. But all player's spells are triggered.

 

[Vinz]

Sorry, worded it wrong. If all spells in your map that need to be identified in Damage Type are triggered, you can use Damage Engine.

Do you have damage types, such as physical, spell, special, etc. in your map? If not you can just use Damage Engine since though it does not detect which is spell damage and attack damage, it can help with floating text.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I nowadays just use Hero Attack Type and Armor.

 

[Vinz]

I see, you can use Damage Engine then for the text.

This is the system: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...a-231846/?prev=d=list&r=20&u=looking_for_help

Does this make the bug?

 

[Vinz]

No but it is tricky to not make it bug when you've got lots of triggers connected.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Mmh.... I guess I will disable it and we'll see what will eventually happen. I can't remember exactly where I use the system. Heh.

 

[Veritas 117]

I use his system to detect when damage is dealt and adjust it for critical hits. I had this same problem until I double checked the ability IDs that need to be changed in the jass part. Once I set them correctly it worked again.

Just make sure you follow all the steps exactly. Unless you have already fixed it, removed it, or figured it out. In that case just disregard. Good luck.

P.S. here is a link to the DDS I am using. I think it's the same one you were using.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I already removed the system. I quite don't remember where I used it but it must be something small anyway like the floating texts.... And one ability I never added to the campaign...
