Zero Damage

[sniper_zero]

Does a unit with zero damage still proc the event of a Damage Detection system?

 

[Chaosy]

I think so, however I can't confirm it.

 

[Nestharus]

A lot of DDS's filter out 0 damage events as many of these events are invalid.

Furthermore, if my memory serves right, the minimum damage a unit can do is 1 damage when not factoring armor in. When factoring armor in, then you can get down to 0 damage (I think, it may still be 1).

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Bribe's DDS can do that for u. (With the event DamageEvent equal to 2.00).

 

[Spartipilo]

Weep's also detects 0 damage as damage.

Okay, thanks. I'll use Bribe's since it also has that cross-compatibility with Weep's but has that issue with spell damage right?

EDIT: @Nestharus I think it gets to 0 with armor. There was one time I gave a unit 3400 armor and it said damage reduction was at 100%. The game wasn't even playing the "units are under attacked sound" when it was being attacked and the icon wasn't blinking red.

DotA's towers have 9999 armor when Fortified, yet still take 1 damage.

EDIT: I also tried '99999999' armor with Divine Type, it still blinks red even if it doesn't deal damage.

Correct. The minimum damage a unit can take from a basic attack is 1 regardless of damage or armour.

Correct. The minimum damage a unit can take from a basic attack is 1 regardless of damage or armour.

Not correct = ).
A basic attack can have 0 attack damage. Also nonzero attack damage can be reduced to 0 by a ridiculous amount of armor.
