[Trigger] Weird problem

[darkrider]

(I post this trigger for you to understand the whole thing)

• Gordon attacks with bone breaker
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • Bone_Breaker_Boolean Equal to False
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Minotaur Gordon
    • ((Attacking unit) is an illusion) Not equal to True
    • (((Attacked unit) is A structure) Not equal to True) and (((Attacked unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Not equal to True)
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to Bone_Breaker_Percentage
  • Actions
    • Set Bone_Braker_target = (Attacked unit)
    • Trigger - Add to Gordon Deals damage with bone breaker <gen> the event (Unit - Bone_Braker_target Takes damage)
    • Trigger - Turn on Gordon Deals damage with bone breaker <gen>

why could this trigger

• Gordon Deals damage with bone breaker
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Damage source) Equal to Gordon
  • Actions
    • Set Bone_Breaker_Boolean = True
    • Set Bone_Breaker_Extra_Damage = (Damage taken)
    • Set Location4[49] = (Position of Gordon)
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer(Bone_Breaker_Extra_Damage)))) at Location4[49] with Z offset 90.00, using font size 12.00, color (100.00%, 20.00%, 20.00%), and 10.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 80.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Attacked unit) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HumanBlood\BloodElfSpellThiefBlood.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Cause Gordon to damage Bone_Braker_target, dealing Bone_Breaker_Extra_Damage damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Location4[49])
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 30
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of Cripple |Demonic Harp Slow for Bone_Breaker_Caster to ((Level of Bone breaker ( Minotaur Gordon ) for Gordon) + 13)
        • Unit - Order Bone_Breaker_Caster to Stop
        • Unit - Order Bone_Breaker_Caster to Undead Necromancer - Cripple Bone_Braker_target
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Bone_Braker_target has buff Broken leg ) Not equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set level of Cripple |Demonic Harp Slow for Bone_Breaker_Caster to ((Level of Bone breaker ( Minotaur Gordon ) for Gordon) + 9)
            • Unit - Order Bone_Breaker_Caster to Stop
            • Unit - Order Bone_Breaker_Caster to Undead Necromancer - Cripple Bone_Braker_target
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing
    • Set Bone_Breaker_Boolean = False

be causing this

as you can see i save the damage this unit (giant arthas) is taking into a variable... then i create a floating text with the amount of damage taken and i re-damage the damaged unit with the damage taken... but for some reason a lot of times a 0 appears there...

What could be happening?

 

[Just_Spectating]

this is like some sort of triggered critical strike ability yes?

 

[darkrider]

well... it is not meant to be a critical strike ability... but can be taken as some sort of...

but i dont understand why, if tell him to do the damage that has already been done, it deals 0 damage (or at least the displayed number is 0)... the event is "unit takes damage" so it shouldnt fire if the enemy doesnt take it

 

[Just_Spectating]

it might be running on the Unit is attacked event, which would explain the 0 damage because attacked unit event checks before the damage is dealt, so it would be 0.

 

[darkrider]

i dont think so.... coz if the variable is not overwritten by a new damage it should have stored the last damage dealt...

besides when a unit is attacked i simply add the attacked unit to a damage detection trigger where everything is done... "unit is attacked" event does nothing
