[Solved] Some question about Damage Engine by Bribe

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Hello everyone. I have used this Damage Engine for several weeks but there are two things I'm still not sure how they work:
The first one is about the DamageEventOverride. I'm not sure how this variable work as a condition (what will happen if I set it to true and what will happen if I set it to false???).
The second one is about the custom type of damage. I dont know why the damage engine has this. In the trigger, it set: DamageTypeSpell = 1, DamageTypeDOT = 2 and DamageTypeRanged = 3. Why do it need to set these values and what effect do these value make to the game? I really want to trigger all the spells in my map so I can detect the physical attack damage and the damage from the spells so I need to know how the custom type of damage works.
Thks for reading.
Here is the link of the system (though it's pretty popular): http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-damage-engine-v2-2-1-0-a-201016/?prev=d%3Dlist%26r%3D20%26u%3DBribe.

Perhaps you could bribe the maker of the script for some answers?

Can you post a link to the damage system?

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Posted the link.

Modify DamageEventAmount/ExplodesUnit/Override from a "DamageModifierEvent Equal to 1.00" trigger. To prevent your script's damage stacking with others, include the condition "DamageEventOverride Equal to false".

Likewise, set "DamageEventOverride" to true if you don't want other scripts to stack with it.

Don't really understand that myself though...

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Me neither. >.<. That's why I ask for some better explainings .

You trigger a spell, and set custom damage, and deal it with a trigger. You set the override to true. Triggers with condition

• DamageEventOverride Equal to False

will not run, and thus do not mess with the damage you're trying to deal.

Got it. XD. What about the custom damage type?

[jass=] constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN = ConvertDamageType(0)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL = ConvertDamageType(4)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_ENHANCED = ConvertDamageType(5)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_FIRE = ConvertDamageType(8)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_COLD = ConvertDamageType(9)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_LIGHTNING = ConvertDamageType(10)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_POISON = ConvertDamageType(11)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_DISEASE = ConvertDamageType(12)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_DIVINE = ConvertDamageType(13)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGIC = ConvertDamageType(14)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_SONIC = ConvertDamageType(15)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_ACID = ConvertDamageType(16)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_FORCE = ConvertDamageType(17)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_DEATH = ConvertDamageType(18)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_MIND = ConvertDamageType(19)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_PLANT = ConvertDamageType(20)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_DEFENSIVE = ConvertDamageType(21)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_DEMOLITION = ConvertDamageType(22)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_SLOW_POISON = ConvertDamageType(23)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_SPIRIT_LINK = ConvertDamageType(24)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_SHADOW_STRIKE = ConvertDamageType(25)

constant damagetype DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL = ConvertDamageType(26)[/code]

This has some relation to it.

This has some relation to it.

AFAIK that's completely unrelated, DamageEventType is an integer internal to the damage engine.

I used it in my Damage Modification System to detect spell damage.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

^ So how can I use them to detect the damage type?

There's another resource somewhere that you can use to detect damage type; it works by dealing damage and comparing the life loss to an expected amount per attack/armour combination.

^ So how can I use them to detect the damage type?

simple just use variables, like DamageEventType = 1 or any and u declare what number what must to do

example:

you must trigger the damage like

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Firebolt (Neutral Hostile)
  • Actions
    • Set DamageEventType = 2
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing 10000.00 damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal

in this example we reduce the damage what target take to 1% if damage type is 2

• Set Damage
  • Events
    • Game - DamageModifierEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • DamageEventOverride Equal to False
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • DamageEventType Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Set DamageEventAmount = (DamageEventAmount / 100.00)
      • Else - Actions

you can add armor type if u want via variables, i mean declare same way than the damage eventype and modificate the damage output(DamageEventAmount) related with armor variable

Great. That's all I need. Thks for helping guys.
