Trigger help!

[DSanhueza]

I been struggling with this for a while, I want to make a trigger that checks who was the last unit to attack this other unit, you know what I mean? kind of similar to the assist trigger that most killstreak systems have but I need it in simple GUI. yay im a nub :c

In my map I have a lot of knockback spells, thing is when they are knocked back into a specific region they die and when they die I want a message to show up like "Player blah killed player blah" but I cant because they are beign knocked back into the region by this trigger, another thing would be how to edit the knockback system but i dont dare touch that. I'd rather have trigger check who was the last one to deal damage to the unit entering the region that kills the unit. Hopefully somebody understands what I am saying :B

That could be useful for my map but it does not help me with the problem! I need a trigger that saves the last unit that dealt damage to this other unit that way when the damaged unit enters this region I can make sure the last unit that attacked it gets the experience and gold. I've tried a bunch of different ways to do it and still, cant get it straight!

Due to the fact, that you need ANY unit to be recorded, you can simply make attack detection trigger with damage detection trigger inside. The latter trigger would, for example, save the DamageSource into a global variable.

Then, another trigger would see if a unit dies and gives gold/xp to unit saved in global variable.

I am to understand you have plenty of those units to be killed, so you might consider having global variables array with every index corresponding to different unit.

You can use some dummy skills, like a Bash-based 100-lvls skill. Every unit would have it on different lvl (the skill would be hidden, of course) and when the unit is damaged, you would save the DamageSource as a global variable [GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetDamagedUnit(), <<this dummy bash skill>>)].
Of course, if you have more than 100 units to be killed in a short instance of time, I'll have to think about something else...

It does help you.

Event
-damageEventTrigger becomes equal to 1
Actions
-Set LastDamager[custom value of target] = source

Use this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-unit-indexer-1-2-0-2-a-197329/ and the damage detecton and that simple trigger.
