Hey everyone, I was wondering, is there anyway I could detect the exact amount of damage dealt to a specific unit after he has been attacked (physically, not via a spell) by another unit? Perhaps there is some way to convert it into an integer or a real or something, because I cannot seem to figure it out :P Help would be greatly appreciated. - Lazurus |

Interestingly i have the exact code you need. I had to do this in my map. I stripped it just to the damage value. I have one unit attack the other, you might need to detect it a different way. Code:
Actions Set oldhp = (Integer((Life of unit_thats_attacking))) Unit - Order unit_being_attacked to Attack unit_thats_attacking Wait until (oldhp Greater than (Integer((Life of unit_thats_attacking)))), checking every 0.50 seconds Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(((Real(oldhp)) - (Real((Integer((Life of unit_being_attacked)))))))) at (Position of unit_being_attacked) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 14.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 50.00% transparency |

Ah, thanks for the advice, john, but I don't really understand JASS, and I am not sure if it would work. From what I can understand about the coding (which is probably very little) aren't you ordering the units to attack eachother and then recording the different from the HP values? - Lazurus |

O_o Thats not jass!! You are completely correct about what I am doing, however. You will probably have to set the oldhp variable beforehand, and then check it after a hit, then reset it to the new hp. 200 posts!! finally! |

Theres a way to know how much damages a unit do but the problem is that it only work with specific unit events.... Theres a event in specific event that is A unit takes damage, and i think there an option to equal an integer ( or real i dont remenber) to the damages that takes that unit. But as i say backwards its only to specific units , mean that it only work with unit that you put in the map ,not variables or created units .. Its a shame :( By the way somebody knows why the difference beetween specific units events and general units events??? |

You can also apply the Specific Unit event "X unit takes damage" to ALL units, if you do a lot of legwork: you use the action "Add event to trigger" at map initialization and whenever a unit enters the playable map area. |

Hey I discovered a Form to Aplicate the event - Specific Unit to whichever unit you want , Use this trigger - Add Even to trigger , there you could use Specific Unit event with a unit variable Enjoy :D |
