"Specific unit event"

[InfinateAnswers]

When i choose this "Specific unit event" i cannot make a variable for unit. I cant use anything other then Specific because it is the only one that has the option "Takes Damage" and i need that number.

Hmm I don't now the exactly plan of yours but you can do something like that:

• Test123
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Storm Bolt
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Test456 <gen> the event (Unit - (Target unit of ability being cast) Takes damage)

• Test456
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)

i need something like this

• Counter Base Dmg
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Takes Damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CounterBaseDamage = Damage Taken x CounterDamageMultiplier

I dont know how to set unit because it isnt possible to make variables for it.

ok just do this, you can add any condition to it you need.

• test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to (test part 2) the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

• test part 2
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CounterBaseDamage = Damage Taken x CounterDamageMultiplier

1) Failed - you add the event to the wrong trigger [Ok you edit that ^^]

2) That was exactly the same I created before and it was wrong ...

• Counter Attacked Unit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Hero of Blade <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Counter Base Dmg <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

• Counter Base Dmg
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CounterBaseDamage = ((Damage taken) x CounterAbilityMultiplyer)

• Counter Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Hero of Blade
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to ((2 x (Level of Counter for (Triggering unit))) + 18)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Attacking unit), dealing (CounterAbilityMultiplyer x CounterBaseDamage) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Pause (Attacking unit)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Attacked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Thunderclap\ThunderclapTarget.mdl
    • Wait LvlOfCounter seconds
    • Unit - Unpause (Attacking unit)

Hmm like that?

No a unit is attacked trigger will fire off before a unit takes damage trigger.. try adding the damage after the wait, you need to give it time for the damage to happen before the attack trigger (becuz its instant)

My trigger might have been similar but it was more simplified and exactly was he asked for.

i cant tho... it has to be instant right when the damage is taken =x mayb instead of a unit is attacked i send the new event from the previous trigger to that one. And your trigger made no sense because it wasnt what i asked for. I asked for a unit being damaged not a spell being cast. If i was casting a spell i wouldve said that but im not.

Then your going to need to put this part in the takes damage trigger somehow not "attacked trigger"

• Actions
  • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Attacking unit), dealing (CounterAbilityMultiplyer x CounterBaseDamage) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
  • Unit - Pause (Attacking unit)
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Attacked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Thunderclap\ThunderclapTarget.mdl
  • Wait LvlOfCounter seconds
  • Unit - Unpause (Attacking unit)

that wait can cause problems you sure this is gonna be MUI ?

 

[InfinateAnswers]

how much delay should there be? between damage and attacked. Can it be half a second?

 

[Dr. Boom]

Moin moin =)

There is no answer of your last question - why:

Damage: This trigger runs, if the unit really takes damage.

Attack: This trigger run, if the unit swings back to attack and then you press "Stop". The target unit don't take any damage but the trigger will run.

Edit: For real now to solve this problem^^:

• TestTrigger2311
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Paladin
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to TestTrigger2312 <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

• TestTrigger2312
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Acid Bomb for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempInt = ((Integer((Damage taken))) x (Level of Acid Bomb for (Triggering unit)))
        • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Damage source), dealing (Real(TempInt)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Set TempInt = 0
      • Else - Actions

Just add the %chance to the 2nd trigger and this works then ( I tested it ) [TempInt = Integer variable]

Yes but they are creeps. Creeps dont hit stop unless the AI says so. My map you dont fight users except for PvP. So do you think with the system i have now it will be fine?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Events hook up triggers to be executed when the game engine runs a certain step. As such you can not have an event with the subject (where to hook it) being variable. In theory you should be able to unhook triggers and rehook them but for some reason blizzard did not add event unbinding natives.

Fortunatly in SC2 they have an any unit takes damage event but in WC3 you will have to emulate one by banding all units to a trigger.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Yes but from my preliminary tests the system i have seems to work. It does damage to the unit = to damage received based on my multiplier which is at 1 untill level 3 of the spell
