Need condition: unit attacks destructible

[Cyrax86]

Hi!

Now I need a condition that say that a unit attacks a destructible...

Come on now, this is so easy.

A unit is attacked
Attacked unit == Destructible is true

I think the problem is that destructibles are not a unit type. That means you can't compare a unit with a destructible, which means Attacked unit can't be equal to a destructible.

Event: Destructible Dies
Condition: Dying Destructible == or Destructible - Destructible is dead.

Same thing.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within REGION <gen> dies
  • Conditions
    • (Destructible-type of (Last created destructible)) Equal to Barrel
  • Actions
    • Do nothing

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within REGION <gen> dies
  • Conditions
    • (Destructible-type of (Last created destructible)) Equal to Barrel
  • Actions
    • Do nothing

That wouldn't work; where exactly was this "Barrel" created from that it was the last created unit? That doesnt make any sense.

Maybe you meant this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within Region <Gen> dies
  • Conditions
    • (Destructible-type of (Dying Destructible)) Equal to Barrel
  • Actions
    • Do nothing

This one checks if the dying destructible was equal to the barrel, and if it was it will continue with the actions.

yes Tiaan is right, i forgot to set the correct event response. last created is just the default.

The main this is this trigger wont fire untill the destrucable dies.

yup i agree that too

I think the majority (if not all) of you missed the point. He wants to detect when a destructible is attacked, not taken down.
I doubt it's possible.

It is possible, but it requires variables and two triggers.

Here is the only way I could think of doing it:

Trigger 1 (Initially On)

• Events -
  • Time - Elapsed time is 1.00 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions -
  • Set DestructibleHealth = (Max life of Summer Tree Wall 0000 <gen>)
  • Trigger - Turn off (this trigger)
  • Trigger - Turn on (Trigger 2)

Trigger 2 (Initially off)

• Events -
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time.
• Conditions
• Actions -
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If (Conditions)
      • (Current Life of Summer Tree Wall 0000 <gen>) less than DestructibleHealth
    • Then (Actions)
      • Set DestructibleHealth = (Current Life of Summer Tree Wall 0000 <gen>)
        • -------- Rest of your actions for it being attacked --------
    • Else (Actions)
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If (Conditions)
      • (Summer Tree Wall 0000 <gen> is dead) Equal to True
    • Then (Actions)
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • -------- Rest of your actions for it being killed --------
      • Else (Actions)

DestructibleHealth = Real Variable

Basically what these triggers do is: The first one sets DestructibleHealth to the maximum health of the destructible you want, then it turns itself off and turns on Trigger 2.

Trigger 2 checks, periodically (You can set this to however short or long you want) if the health of that destructible is less than the amount in DestructibleHealth. If it is true, it will set DestructibleHealth to the destructible's current HP and run the rest of the actions that you want to run if a destructible is attacked. This can repeat itself up until the destructible is dead, once which the trigger will turn off itself and you can add actions to that part if you wish.

Don't you think that's awfully tedious for such a task? Plus, you can't catch which unit did the attacking.

 

[Tiaan]

Of course it's more tedious and limited than a regular "attacking/attacked unit" condition, but if it is for a special circumstance (An exploding tree!) or something, it can be done.

As for the unit, it is true that you cannot catch the unit that did the damage, but you can get the unit(s) within range of the destructible for an explosion damage effect or something along those lines.

It's as close as he's going to get, really.

 

[Richardsteel]

Perhaps you could just make a custom unit that doesn't move or attack with the barrel model and then use unit type triggers for it.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

that's the most logical way. It would just need to be a dummy unit with a destructable model and targeted as destructable/tree

 

[Avator]

That's a terrible idea! Every other unit or destructible related trigger or ability will have effect on them, or have the wrong effect. If you have an area of effect ability that only hits units and you cast it near the woods, your trees will die too even if you want to keep those up specificly.
