// GUI-Friendly Damage Detection -- v1.2.1 -- by Weep
// http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=137957
//
// Requires: only this trigger and its variables.
//
// -- What? --
// This system provides a leak-free, GUI-friendly implementation of an "any unit takes
// damage" event. It requires no JASS knowledge to use.
//
// It uses the Game - Value Of Real Variable event as its method of activating other
// triggers, and passes the event responses through a few globals.
//
// -- Why? --
// The traditional GUI method of setting up a trigger than runs when any unit is damaged
// leaks trigger events. This system is easy to implement and removes the need to do
// you own GUI damage detection setup.
//
// -- How To Implement --
// 0. Before you copy triggers that use GDD into a new map, you need to copy over GDD
// with its GDD Variable Creator trigger, or there will be a problem: the variables
// won't be automatically created correctly.
//
// 1. Be sure "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" is
// enabled in the World Editor general preferences.
// 2. Copy this trigger category ("GDD") and paste it into your map.
// (Alternately: create the variables listed in the globals block below, create a
// trigger named "GUI Friendly Damage Detection", and paste in this entire text.)
// 3. Create your damage triggers using Game - Value Of Real Variable as the event,
// select GDD_Event as the variable, and leave the rest of the settings to the default
// "becomes Equal to 0.00".
// The event responses are the following variables:
// GDD_Damage is the amount of damage, replacing Event Response - Damage Taken.
// GDD_DamagedUnit is the damaged unit, replacing Event Response - Triggering Unit.
// Triggering Unit may still be used, if you need to use waits.
// Read the -- Notes -- section below for more info.
// GDD_DamageSource is the damaging unit, replacing Event Response - Damage Source.
//
// -- Notes --
// GDD's event response variables are not wait-safe; you can't use them after a wait in
// a trigger. If you need to use waits, Triggering Unit (a.k.a. GetTriggerUnit()) can
// be used in place of GDD_DamageSource. There is no usable wait-safe equivalent to
// Event Damage or Damage Source; you'll need to save the values yourself.
//
// Don't write any values to the variables used as the event responses, or it will mess
// up any other triggers using this system for their triggering. Only use their values.
//
// This uses arrays, so can detect damage for a maximum of 8190 units at a time, and
// cleans up data at a rate of 33.33 per second, by default. This should be enough for
// most maps, but if you want to change the rate, change the value returned in the
// GDD_RecycleRate function at the top of the code, below.
//
// By default, GDD will not register units that have Locust at the moment of their
// entering the game, and will not recognize when they take damage (which can only
// happen if the Locust ability is later removed from the unit.) To allow a unit to have
// Locust yet still cause GDD damage events if Locust is removed, you can either design
// the unit to not have Locust by default and add it via triggers after creation, or
// edit the GDD_Filter function at the top of the code, below.

//
// -- Version History --
// 1.2.1: Minor code cleaning. Added configuration functions. Updated documentation.
// 1.2.0: Made this system work properly with recursive damage.
// 1.1.1: Added a check in order to not index units with the Locust ability (dummy units).
// If you wish to check for damage taken by a unit that is unselectable, do not
// give the unit-type Locust in the object editor; instead, add the Locust ability
// 'Aloc' via a trigger after its creation, then remove it.
// 1.1.0: Added a check in case a unit gets moved out of the map and back.
// 1.0.0: First release.
//===================================================================
