Problem with damage taken

[Rigborn]

Hi. I have two main questions. When we select "damage taken" event, does it have to be specific unit? Cause i am trying to make a spell called damage quota which is spirit link and shows the damage taken as floating text. But i can find something like owner of ..... unit. Also i couldn't find anything like if damage source is spirit link buff do this.

damage taken refers to the event "specific unit takes damage", so you always know which unit takes the damage (the specific unit). There is no generic unit event for this. You need a DDS (damage detection system) in order to detect damage on any unit. There are plenty of DDS on the hive.

If your needs aren't complicated, a DDS isn't necessary. You should be able to easily add every unit to a Damage Taken trigger using Trigger - Add Event whenever a unit enters the map. This won't give you a lot of the useful information from a DDS, like what type of damage or whether it was a regular attack or an ability, though.

It also leaks if units are constantly created and removed, unless the trigger is periodically destroyed.
