[Trigger] Show damage?

[Bwathke]

How do I get it where a little number pops up next to a unit (any unit) showing how much damage they did?

Here you go:

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempGroup = (Units in (Entire map))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Execute <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

• New Units
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Execute <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)

• Execute
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set DamageString = (String((Integer((Damage taken)))))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads DamageString above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
      • Else - Actions
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 256.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.80 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.20 seconds

Basically, first trigger picks all units placed in map into damage detection. All new units will be added with second one and third shows damage they have taken.

I got it all up to the DamageString part what type of variable is it? I assume String but I cant find the (String((Integer((Damage taken))))) where is it?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Variable is string. You are right.

About (String((Integer((Damage taken)))))

Damage taken is real value. First we convert it to integer (Conversion - Real To Integer) and then we convert it to string (Conversion - Integer To String).

 

[Bwathke]

There is no Conversion - Real to Integer all i have is
Integer to String
Real to String
Real to Formatted String
Order to String
Unit - Type to String
Externalized Sting
String Case

Also, where is the call DestroyGroup thing? (Sorry Im not great with triggers :/)

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

It is custom script.

First you use Integer to String.
Then Real to integer

 

[Bwathke]

Set DamageString = (String((Integer((Life of (Damage source))))))
Is that ok? +rep btw

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

That is ok! It must be done so because you would get some nasty periodical numbers if Damage was shown as real.

 

[baassee]

Event Takes Damage leaks in GUI of my knowledge.

 

[Bwathke]

One problem xD sorry but the numbers just sit there and the numbers are all weird the first hit is always 315 and then numbers never disappear I'll get a picture.

They haven't been removed completely. Maybe put some "Destroy last created floating text"-Actions in the trigger...

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Same code works for me. Check if you copied something wrong.

 

[Bwathke]

Could you save the map file and put it as an attachment? I have is copied right.

 

[Bwathke]

bump

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Try putting these within the if:

• Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
• Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 256.00 towards 90.00 degrees
• Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.80 seconds
• Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.20 seconds

 

[Bwathke]

EDIT: Found and Fixed THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Here is example map. I hope this helps.

Side note: Bumping allowed only once per 48 hours (2 days)

i might also use this trigger any variables i need to put?

 

[Bwathke]

I found it but thanks child

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

i might also use this trigger any variables i need to put?

You must put string variable (DamageString) and TempGroup (leak removal).

 

[RaijinSpark]

only 2?

 

[M_Vegeta]

seriosly...... showing damage its the most request trigger i ever saw lol why no1 make a Vjass + Gui showing damage wich u only need to change variable to set it as u want ......

 

[Bwathke]

Why did you resurrect this thread? it was fixed months ago you must have been searching to find this one

 

[Yihka]

Isnt DamageString a leak?

Oh well.

 

[The_Dipl0mat]

i use

Event - Unit is Attacked

Action - -Set (HealthBefore) = (life of attaked unit)
-wait (0.5)
-Set (HealthAfter) = (life of attacked unit)
-CreateFloatingText..((String(HealthBefore)-(HealthAfter)above - AttackedUnit.
-Set DamageText = last created floatingtext
-Disable Permanence for DamageText
-set floating text life for DamageText

 

[Cokemonkey11]

diplomat, NO.

All strings leak, but they can't be prevented. I don't really know how and why, but it's what I've been told by every fancy Jasser there is.
