Warcraft 3 version and difference about 'take damage' and 'about take damage'

[Asuna Tichondrius]

Since i'm using both 1,30 and reforged current patch, how i make the spell trigger work on reforged or detecting which version's when player is played? since reforged use 0 instead of 1 when using trigger level ability. Also what difference about 'take damage' and 'about take damage'?

Regarding this aspect, I recommend checking this out: Detect Game Version (GetPatchLevel)

Is this possible in GUI?

I recommend replacing the code in the Test trigger (see the attached file in the thread by TriggerHappy) with this code:

Spoiler

function Trig_Test_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer patch = GetPatchLevel()
   
    if (patch == PATCH_LEVEL_127) then
        set udg_PATCH_LEVEL_127 = true
    elseif (patch == PATCH_LEVEL_128) then
        set udg_PATCH_LEVEL_128 = true
    elseif (patch == PATCH_LEVEL_129) then
        set udg_PATCH_LEVEL_129 = true
    elseif (patch == PATCH_LEVEL_130) then
        set udg_PATCH_LEVEL_130 = true
    endif
   
    call DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Test takes nothing returns nothing
    call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0.00, false, function Trig_Test_Actions)
endfunction

udg_PATCH_LEVEL_127, udg_PATCH_LEVEL_128, udg_PATCH_LEVEL_129 and udg_PATCH_LEVEL_130 are the global variables that must be created in the global variables editor so that they can be used in other triggers.

*Remember to remove the prefixes udg_ before creating these variables in the global variables editor.

Also what difference about 'take damage' and 'about take damage'

"About to take damage" => raw damage unit received
"Takes damage" => final damage unit will receive (after all modifiers were applied)

For example you cast Firebolt that deals 100 damage on a hero. Due to 'Hero' armor, spell damage taken is reduced by 30%
Events will show this damage taken:

• About to take damage: 100
• Takes damage: 70 (= 100 * (1.0 - 0.3))

So basically like bribe Pre-Damage event?

yes, Bribe's dds is most likely built on top of those 2 events
