Record Number of Attacks.

[HolyBear]

I need help figuring out how to record how many times a unit attacks.
The spell Creates a unit, and after 4 hits the unit dies.
I've tried event "a unit is attacked" but it doesn't record when that unit takes damage, instead its when he starts attacking.
There is this trigger event.

• Trigger - Add to Hits <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

But I'm not sure how to make it work.

You could check the physical damage detection for gui system in spells.

You could also add the unit a spell via spellbook and disable the spellbook for the player (the player can not disable units spell). Add trigger that counts that when the ability has been used 4 times it removes the unit...

Good idea, thx. I didn't really want to add a whole system just for one spell.

This is GUI's way of doing it which is the one you currently asked for.

EDIT: Everything is there for a reason, to make it work without duplicating stuff as well avoiding event leaks.

If you are adding more then 16,000 units then you might want to move onto a different game engine.

Use Bribe DDS and use a Integer variable as a calculation of total attack (arrayed, this will also needs UI) to see how many times it has attack.

Dat-C3 <3 thx for example, I got everything working now.

Dat-C3, an event leak is when you add an event for spesific unit and the unit is removed from the map. The event for the unit still remains.

The trigger should be rebuilt every now and then if one wants to avoid the leaks, proper damage detection systems do that.

I know what it is, no need to tell me. I only provided what he asked for.

You need an attack damage detection system since the unit is damaged event fires for all damage, attack or ability. These systems are not at all accurate but are accurate enough for most cases.
