Negative Damage = Heal?

[Spartipilo]

Hi!

I was messing with 'Unit - Cause damage' and noticed that Negative damage is not equal to heal. Even the 'Healing' (Negative damage) amount is displayed over the unit (floating text), but the hp goes down anyway (the unit deals 1-1 wc3 nontrigger damage). If I give damage reduction over 1 (which would mean over 100%) doesn't heal either.

If it doesn't work like that, what's the next best option? 'Set unit life + Unit life + Damage' ?

This is my current damage setting:

Triggers

• Damage Itself
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- DamagedUnit and DamageSource Id's --------
    • Custom script: set udg_I_DS = GetUnitTypeId(udg_GDD_DamageSource)
    • Custom script: set udg_I_DU = GetUnitTypeId(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit)
    • -------- Damage Types (Odd) and Resistances (Even) --------
    • Set PD = ((Load 1 of I_DS from DamageHash) x (1.00 - (Load 2 of I_DU from DamageHash)))
    • Set FD = ((Load 3 of I_DS from DamageHash) x (1.00 - (Load 4 of I_DU from DamageHash)))
    • Set WiD = ((Load 5 of I_DS from DamageHash) x (1.00 - (Load 6 of I_DU from DamageHash)))
    • Set ED = ((Load 7 of I_DS from DamageHash) x (1.00 - (Load 8 of I_DU from DamageHash)))
    • Set WaD = ((Load 9 of I_DS from DamageHash) x (1.00 - (Load 10 of I_DU from DamageHash)))
    • Set PuD = (Load 11 of I_DS from DamageHash)
    • -------- Total Damage --------
    • Custom script: set udg_Dmg = udg_PD + udg_FD + udg_WiD + udg_ED + udg_WaD + udg_PuD
    • -------- Display Red Damage --------
    • Custom script: if (GetUnitState( udg_GDD_DamagedUnit, UNIT_STATE_LIFE) - udg_Dmg ) < GetUnitState( udg_GDD_DamagedUnit, UNIT_STATE_LIFE) then
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer(Dmg)))) above GDD_DamagedUnit with Z offset 0.00, using font size 8.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 75.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • -------- Display Green Heal --------
    • Custom script: elseif (GetUnitState( udg_GDD_DamagedUnit, UNIT_STATE_LIFE) - udg_Dmg ) > GetUnitState( udg_GDD_DamagedUnit, UNIT_STATE_LIFE) then
    • Unit - Set life of GDD_DamagedUnit to ((Life of GDD_DamagedUnit) - Dmg)
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer((Abs(Dmg)))))) above GDD_DamagedUnit with Z offset 0.00, using font size 8.00, color (0.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 75.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Custom script: endif
    • -------- Deal Damage if it's > 0 --------
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Custom script: if udg_Dmg > 0 then
    • Custom script: call UnitDamageTarget(udg_GDD_DamageSource, udg_GDD_DamagedUnit, udg_Dmg, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_HERO, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, null)
    • Custom script: endif
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

EDIT: Improved the trigger following Ultimatony and Maker suggestions.

Problem is your adding a negative, which is subtracting. so, add this:

if
damage < 0
Set Damage = Damage - (Damage * 2 )


That should convert it.

Or use
if damage < 0
set unit hp = current hp - damage

Also,

GetUnitStateSwap(whichState,whichUnit) -> GetUnitState(whichUnit, whichState)
WEAPON_TYTPE_WHOKNOWS -> null

Good News!

Life nevers goes to max, but max-1. I can live with that. Thanks to both of you! Also improved the script a bit (Updated the Trigger in the first post), by dealing "udg_Damage" instead of each one of the damages independently.

Right now Damage is 100, and Resistance is 150%. (just for testing)

Are you causing all of your damage with triggers?
You could set armor to reduce all damage from normal type to 0
and just have your triggered damage be chaos damage.

GetUnitState(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit, UNIT_STATE_LIFE) -> GetWidgetLife(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit)

Remove your setlife and use SetWidgetLife(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit, GetWidgetLife(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit) + heal)

Yes, I'm triggering all my damage, and no, my units deal 1-1 damage. I don't worry anyway. I haven't set the constant damage/armor values to 0.

Good baassee, I'l try it like that. Seems faster/lighter, since it retrieves less data.

Thanks for answers/Suggestions.

Set/GetWidgetLife are faster than GetUnitState/SetUniteState.

To cancel any further effect of base damage 1 - 1, use Hardened Skin and reduce the damage, there you have it, 0 physical base damage, and 50 triggering damage.
