Passive bonusdamage depending on armor

[Bjorrrn]

I'm working on a hero and i'm trying to make a skill that deals bonusdamage on each attack, Depending on the difference in armor between attacker and attacked unit. I've been looking through the variables but i can't find anything about armor...

I make my abilities in GUI/triggers.

all help is appreciated. Thanks

WE sadly doesn't have the feature to get a units armor.

Daelin created a system a while ago where you can get the units armor.
Dont ask me how to use, cause I never used it before.

Thanks for the link... Too bad i'm too nooby to make use of any of that code...
I need to learn JASS.

An armor detection system is simple, You basicly need to deal X damage to the unit of type armor reduced but full damage and then read the targets damage it received and you get a reduction. You can then work out the armor using a formula from the reduction ammount. Unfortunatly I can not post the script from that map in out handy JASS section, stupid WC3C being not allowing DL from non registered users.

Well anyway, the attack detections system is the difficult thing you need to worry about.

Deal 1 damage to a unit.
Detect the taken damage.

Now, the armor reduction can be calculated by manipulating this formula to isolate Armor:

reduction = (armor*.06)/(1+.06*armor)

reduction = oldDamage - newDamage

Doesn't this bug out if the unit uses a spell to block all damage temporarily?
Like mana shield with 100% redux?
I remember there was a game with something like this... and due to no damage taken, the unit's armor was made to be infinity, therefore causing bugs and instant kills.

Yes, that would bug out.

And I was telling you that about AotZ on BNet, donut, but it had almost no chance to happen, and it only worked vs a certain teammate character, and a certain enemy character that also had almost no chance to activate it (but that's off-topic)

But it's the only way, save storing every unit's armor to their type/the individual unit
