Show change in unit health

[valle]

Hey, I've been looking studying Show Damage Systems, and was wondering. What excatly makes the GUI systems leak, and how is it fixed?

And is it by any means possible to detect if a unit gains life, as in being healed by a spell.

Thanks

This isn't made for MUI, though, I just wanted to show, basically, how it's made.

If you need it for a map, I could make it MUI though..

And the floating text-effects aren't anything special, if I'd use it in a map that would be edited as well

edit: changed it a bit, now it only triggers when a spell is being cast, so it doesn't show a floating text each time the unit regenerates health :e

dansaDisco, you can load example plz

 

[dansaDisco]

You mean you want a map showing how it works?

 

[demon200]

__yes__

 

[dansaDisco]

Here you go.

It works, is MUI (As far as I could find out) And leakless.

if i have 25+ healers?

 

[dansaDisco]

Ah I see, give me a fem minutes and I'll work something out

 

[demon200]

Ah I see, give me a fem minutes and I'll work something out

Okey

 

[dansaDisco]

Haha, a long 5 min

I forgot about this, I'll try to look into it ASAP ^^

Edit: Rewrote the system. Now everything seems to work fine !

The event leaks in GUI damage systems so I recommend using vJass or Jass

• Unit - Unit takes damage

Why even make a heal detection? use a function instead 100% safe (and more efficent and yes can be used with GUI)

call HealUnit("unit","Amount")

add this to the map's header

function HealUnit takes unit target, real amount returns nothing
    local texttag Text = CreateTextTag()
    

    call SetTextTagVelocity(Text, 0, .0277 )
    call SetTextTagColor(Text,0,191,0, 255 )
    call SetTextTagText(Text,I2S(R2I(amount)) ,.019) 
    call SetTextTagPosUnit(Text,target, 0 ) 
    call SetTextTagPermanent(Text, false) 
    call SetTextTagLifespan(Text, 2)
    
    call SetWidgetLife(target,GetWidgetLife(target)+amount)
    call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect("Abilities\\Spells\\Human\\Heal\\HealTarget.mdl",target,"origin"))

    set Text = null    
    set target = null
endfunction

dansaDisco: when ever you cast a damaging spell ur trigger will start a endless loop since it wont get healed

Hmm.. I have no idea why this happen >_<

Sorry

 

[Ciebron]

Cause you have the event when a unit start the effect of a spell. that means ANY spell

 

[dansaDisco]

Nah. I tried changing it to only run when the spell being cast is the priests heal, but it still showed screwed numbers.

there is no problems, the fountain heal a % of thier health, and if u pull a MK away from the fountain and heal them its because of thier HP reg (lots of stam = lots of reg)
