Reading Armor Values with Triggers?

[TimeForAChange]

Is this possible?

Say that I want to create an effect where once a unit has 5 or more armor it also gains evasion. How could I accomplish this?

To be totally clear, I would like units to be given the evasion ability once they reach 5 armor, no matter how they do it (devotion aura/upgrades/etc).

Thanks for any suggestions.

You cant measure armour directly.

However you could come up with some sort of a system where all armour sources in your map are saved and assigned a value.

From there you could calculate a units armour as an integer.

Real, armor would return a real. Here is some script to help you out:

function GetUnitArmor takes unit u returns real
    local real hp = GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)
    local real damage
    call UnitDamageTarget( u, u, 10.0, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, null)
    set damage = hp - GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE)
    call SetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE, hp)
    if damage > 10.0 then
        set damage = 20.0 - damage
        return (damage-10.0)/(damage*0.06)
    endif
    return (10.0-damage)/(damage*0.06)
endfunction

Call it as

• Custom script: set udg_Armor = GetUnitArmor (GetTriggerUnit())

Use a periodic event to check when a unit's armor hits a specific value.

Thanks. I don't know much about JASS but if that's the way to do it I'll see where I can get.

I assume the same is true for reading unit damage values? Weird that these can't be done GUI.

They can of course be done, but GUI can't accept custom functions and would require some variables to work per system, which is a waste
