Take inflicted/received damage as variables?

Maltheo2005 · Dec 22, 2012

I'm kinda tired so i can't get this thing right. How do you take inflicted damage on unit or received damage from a unit as variables? Can anyone guide me? Thanks.

Where can i find those action and condition triggers? Those are what I need.

Bribe's GUI Damage Engine v2.2.1.0

Damage
- Events
  - Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
- Conditions
- Actions

now the variable which detects the amount of damage is DamageEventAmount.

if you want to specify the attacked unit, then..

Damage
- Events
  - Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of DamageEventTarget) Equal to Footman
- Actions

the footman is the unit that receive the damage.

if you want to specify the attacking unit, then...

Damage
- Events
  - Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of DamageEventSource) Equal to Footman
- Actions

the footman is the unit that deals the damage.

if you want to deal damages back to the attacker, then...

Damage
- Events
  - Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of DamageEventSource) Equal to Footman
- Actions
  - Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
  - Unit - Cause DamageEventTarget to damage DamageEventSource, dealing DamageEventAmount damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  - Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

remember to turn off the trigger first before you deal damage.. or else it will create an infinite loop..

pretty easy, right ?

Can't find DamageEventSource nor DamageEventTarget in condition triggers. :/ I only found this

(Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Footman

That system is kinda hard to grasp.

Oh God Why ????

anyway, Bribe's GUI Damage Engine v2.2.1.0 is a system which you must import to your map if you want to use them (Damage Engine and Unit Indexer) and these system provide you some Variables (DamageEventSource, DamageEventTarget, DamageEventAmount, DamageEvent, DamageModifierEvent).

download the test map on the link provided on the thread and copy the Damage Engine and Unit Indexer trigger... also remember to copy the Cheat Death Ability + 500000 from the test map...

when you import the Damage Engine, some of the actions will be disabled, just double click on the disabled actions and press enter then everything should be good..

if you think this is hard to understand, then go to the thread and read the tutorials there...

Thank you for the help, really appreciate it. But I'll consider this as a 2nd option since I think this wouldn't be easy for me.

Anyway here's my current trigger. It's plain simple. Though it's not working yet, i think it's halfway there.

Damage receives gives gold
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is attacked

  - (Attacking unit) Equal to GS_Hero

  - Set GS_Owner = (Owner of GS_Receiver2)

  - Set GS_Dmg_Rec_int = (Integer(GS_Dmg_Rec))
  - Player - Set GS_Owner Current gold to ((GS_Owner Current gold) - GS_Dmg_Rec_int)
  - Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (- + ((String(GS_Dmg_Rec_int)) + Gold)) above GS_Receiver2 with Z offset -10.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 10.00% transparency
  - Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees

  - Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds

Set GS_Dmg_Rec = (Damage taken)

that variable will always be 0 because the event 'Unit - Unit is Attacked' is when the unit swings their weapon, therefore there is no damage yet on that time...

if you really want an easy way to achieve this, then follow En_Tropy's trigger, but i guess it's leaky because one after another event will be created when a unit enter (Playable Map Area)

You're right. I just need to get that Inflicted damage into variable. But i don't know how. +rep for your help.

TwoVenomous · Dec 22, 2012

to answer your question for En_Tropy, you can find this actions

Trigger - Add to Temp 2 <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

in the 'Trigger - Add New Event', when you click on this, it will display :

Add to (this trigger) the event Event

change (this trigger) into your second trigger, and the Event to 'Unit - Specific Unit Event'..

and then change the Unit to Triggering unit, and change the Dies into Takes Damage

you can find Takes Damage between Changes Owner and Gains a Level...

Wait, i think i'm getting the idea.

But what event should I set for 'Trigger- Add New Event' to start? Time elapsed?

you have to make sure that the trigger meet it's condition, in your case it's :

(Damage source) Equal to GS_Hero

who is GS_Hero ?

Sure I could. It's pretty messy, especially the triggers & variables

but i'll send it. I don't see any file attachment through PM.

Take inflicted/received damage as variables?
