[Solved] Unit Classification

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey.

I'm doing a system that uses Unit Classifications. I learned today that there are only four classifications that can be actually changed by their name(Undead, Mechanical, Giant and Tauren). Well, that's not problem because four is enough for me.

However, what is preventing me to continue the system is that in conditions I don't see Giant and Tauren. How can I detect if a Giant type of unit is attacked?

Rep for the helpers.

UNIT_TYPE_GIANT/UNIT_TYPE_TAUREN in Jass.

Yea, well, I know nothing of JASS so is this possible with GUI?

You can use custom scripts:

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    • Custom script: if IsUnitType(u,UNIT_TYPE_GIANT) then
    • //actions for giant type units here
    • Custom script: elseif IsUnitType(u,UNIT_TYPE_TAUREN) then
    • //actions for tauren type units here
    • Custom script: endif
    • Custom script: set u = null

Really?

Does this work?

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Dragon Buster) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Custom script: if IsUnitType(udg_Unit,UNIT_TYPE_GIANT) then
    • Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing 300.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Custom script: endif
  • Else - Actions

Deals extra damage if the attacked enemy unit is Giant type.

In your custom script, just change udg_Unit to GetTriggerUnit(). Trigger unit is, in this case, same as attacked unit so i suggest you change it to trigger(ing) unit (Retrieving attacked unit calls a BJ - slightly inefficient).

No. Change it to GetTriggerUnit(), not udg_GetTriggerUnit(). Like this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Dragon Buster) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Custom script: if IsUnitType(GetTriggerUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_GIANT) then
    • Unit - Cause (Attacking) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing 300.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Custom script: endif
  • Else - Actions

Also change the attacked unit to triggering unit (just for the sake of efficiency).

Hmm. I got this error.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Bump. I still need help with the case.

I made a simple map where I put the trigger. The idea was that when a Knight is attacked extra 300 damage is dealt to it. However the editor gave me this error. Can someone with at least little JASS knowledge tell me how to fix the problem?

You forgot the "if" in the beginning:
if IsUnitType(...) then

Excellent. Thank you.
