Request: Armor to damage GUI triggers?

[Shaeam]

Greetings... I'm pretty sure this is the right section if it's not please pardon my stupidity...

Anyway, i've been trying to experiment around with triggers trying to find a way to check armor values, much like you can with attributes (Strength, Agility, Intellect.) and turn the values into damage... I'm sure theres a way without using J.A.S.S, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you need a example to understand what i'm talking about I apologize, i've been awake for quite some time... So heres a example.

"Shield Bash: Deals x2 damage for every point of armor you've got and stuns the targeted unit for .06 seconds for every point of strength."


Just in case I did post this in the wrong section, again, I apologize for my stupidity and unavailability to read obvious things right in front of my eyes, I blame lack of sleep!

make the unit have millions of life. Deal millions of damage to it (in a form which reduces to armor) and then detect the percentag reduction that occured. Then use a rearangement of the armor formula to work out how much armor the unit has.

Thats it... Really.

You can ofcourse use smaller damage values but be aware that armor can not reduce damage below 1 (so really high armor values may be inaccurate if small damage is used). Use a damage sort which ignores armor type reduction to be most accurate.

^This.

The only other way that I can think of is by using a database of the unit's armor values that you use, which might be a bit more efficient, but it requires JASS. (Or at least would be easier in it)

It also needs a lot of preloading data. More efficent yes but brings problems of its own.

and needs some more coding if you want to be able to change the armor value in-game... but if you choose to it this way, my Damage Reduction Table can help you, you just need to edit how ur using it...

I appreciate the help, I was able to get it to work.

You can use my armor detection system : Armor System

wow, suggesting a rejected resource... not to say that its unneeded now since he said that he made it to work already...

If you see my system you will see that it is working. I have updated my system. Now you have spell that deal 2x Your armor to target unit.
