[Trigger] Unit Damage Detecting from spells

[HamzahA]

I would like to know how to know a unit damage from casting a spell.. like :
Event - units start the effect of ability
Conditions - ability type bla bla
Actions - damage target x*units damage
while x is a variable can be changed.
how?

Vexorian made a damage detection system. Incidently it also allows stackable orbs.

People were asked not to post that link
Using other people's systems is usually less helpful than making your own(and a lot of the time much less efficient).

You can trust vexorian's systems.

i want it to be GUI, not over 200 lines of JASS .. because im bad at JASS (lazy), GUI is faster and better for me.
Any GUI damage detect system/HOW TO MAKE 1? i want to learn somebullshit here..

I can do it, but my world editor stopped working. :S I'll edit this post soon and send the trigger.

[Edit]:
This trigger adds units that's entering the game

    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)

This adds units that are on the map already in the beginning

you mis-understand me, i want to detect his damage without attacking!

 

[humpadumpa]

?? do u mean the dmg the spell does? O_O i don't think that can be done in GUI ^^

 

[GhostWolf]

I think he means of a way to detect the unit's damage.
There isn't any way I know of, maybe there is in JASS ?


[offtopic] humpadumpa, did you check if your damage checker there works ? I want to finaly know if events like those really somehow create their own variables or just don't work lol.

 

[humpadumpa]

well, you could detect it, if u know what unit it is, what buffs/debuffs it has, what items it has, what lvl it is, how much attributes/level it gets and how much the dmg/primary attribute in gameplay constants is set to ^^

 

[HamzahA]

eh! i have idea, i count base attribute + base damage, i can do it!
thanks for help every1. appreciated.

 

[GhostWolf]

Of course you can do it like that, but its really annoying to start adding all kind of stuff lol
