Trigger event: critical strike?

[Buudeluu]

Hello guys

I've been working on a map for a pretty long time now and I've encountered another problem. I would like to make a trigger that heals you for a percentage if you crit. I think i have the actions right, but i can't seem to make the event/condition work. Any suggestions?

Thanks, buudeluu

Triggering below:

• Mortal Blow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mortal Blow
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + ((Max life of (Triggering unit)) x 0.20))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Heal\HealTarget.mdl

If you use passive Critical Strike ability (like Blademaster's Critical Strike), then your trigger won't work.
"A unit Starts the effect of an ability" and similar events are fired only by active skills, not passive skills.

You will probably need damage detection system and trigger your own Critical Strike ability.

Passive abilities doesn't fire the event that is Spell Cast-Related.

I sugest using this as an event:

• Unit - A unit Learns a skill

^ Learns a skill? Bad idea.
There's no such thing as to detect Critical Strike function(because its chances are too inaccurate)
Suggestion? Creating your own coded critical strike via http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/physical-damage-detection-gui-v1-0-0-1-a-231846/

So there is no actual way to trigger this by just using the GUI?

I would use a DDS and trigger the critical strike.

and if you still need a event for it use a custom event my setting a real variable to 1.00 and then 0.00

^ The link i posted is much safer.
Normal DDS that has criticals can cause every damage to critical hit too.

I am now using a custom crit strike system using triggers, but the problem i'm encountering is that some of the crit strikes seem to stack and sometimes it even gives a crit of 0!, but that damage is there nontheless.

Here are the triggers:

• Critical Throw 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Assasin
    • ((Attacked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Critical Throw 2 <gen> the event (Unit - (Attacked unit) Takes damage)

• Critical Throw 2
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Assasin
  • Actions
    • Set CritChanceCritThrow = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Real(CritChanceCritThrow)) Less than or equal to (3.00 x (Real((Level of Critical Throw for (Damage source)))))
      • Then - Actions
        • Set CritDamage_CritThrow = (2.00 x (Damage taken))
        • Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing CritDamage_CritThrow damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String((Integer((1.50 x CritDamage_CritThrow))))) + !) above (Damage source) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
        • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
        • Set CritDamage_CritThrow = 0.00
      • Else - Actions

Hm, this is quite bad:

• The detection can easy bug and is abusable.
• You leak Events and possible stack multiple events on one unit.
• The dealt damage may not be accurate, as it gets reduced two times by the units specific armor reduction.
• The spell is not MUI.
• These triggers can even let the whole game crash.

What you do here is very unsafe and bugged, I recommend you the DDS posted above. There you can just do something like this:

• Critical Throw 2
  • Events
    • Game - damageEventTrigger becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Assasin
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • damageType Equal to PHYSICAL
      • Then - Actions
        • Set CritChanceCritThrow = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Real(CritChanceCritThrow)) Less than or equal to (3.00 x (Real((Level of Critical Throw for (Damage source)))))
          • Then - Actions
            • Set CritDamage_CritThrow = (2.00 x (Damage taken))
            • -------- Here you set the damage to the desired value --------
            • Set amount = amount + CritDamage_CritThrow
            • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String((Integer(amount)))) + !) above (Damage source) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
            • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
            • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
            • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
            • Set CritDamage_CritThrow = 0.00
          • Else - Actions
        • Else - Actions
