The new Event: A unit takes damage

[SnowYell]

Now you can select the event A unit takes damage. I first realize this now.

However, as I am new to this feature, how do I prevent it from crashing?

Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Unit - A unit Takes damage
Conditions
Actions
Set VariableSet Unit = (Damage Target)
Set VariableSet Unit1 = (Damage source)
Unit - Cause Unit to damage Unit1, dealing 50.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

The attacker takes 50 damage when the attacker deals damage to the target. However this will make it crash as it loops. How do I prevent this from triggering itself endlessly?

ALSO, this only affects damage taken. Can i make it affect healing somehow? Or do i just make an ability deal 1 damage and cause it to go through damage trigger and then heal?

turn off (this trigger)
deal dmg
turn on (this trigger)

Edit: as for healing - I don't think you can. Heals don't do negative dmg to units, so it will not fire the 'Unit Takes damage' and 'Unit is about to take damage' events.
I think you would need to completely write your own healing spells, but then again at that point you would not need to fire the damage events.

Place a dummy unit somewhere on the map and have it deal the damage instead, that way you avoid the infinite loop

Alternatively, you also have this new handy function as a workaround:

• Event Response - Set Damage of Unit Damaged Event to ((Damage taken) + 50.00)
