Need a bit assist on IDDS

Hi,

I played around with the IDDS from rising dust, but i somhow cant figure out how to get it to work properly.

JASS:

scope DamageSwapPassive initializer Init
private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetTriggerDamageType() == DAMAGE_TYPE_ATTACK and GetRandomInt(1, 100) <= 50
endfunction

private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg("Damage type swapped to FLAME!")
    call SetDamageType(DAMAGE_TYPE_IGNORED)
endfunction

private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger trg = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddAction(trg, function Actions)
    call TriggerAddCondition(trg, Condition(function Conditions))
    call TriggerRegisterDamageEvent(trg, 0)
    set trg = null
endfunction
endscope

This is from the Demo map and i changed from flame to ignored, but there is still damage dealt oO..

I also tried to make SetDamage(0) but it strangly doesnt change anything -.-

And Btw, setting ArmorReduction to 0.00 from 0.06 is not the way to go to get 0 reduction.

Av3n	For your first question... the SetDamage function changes the value of damage associated with the trigger, not the actual damage packet itself. I guess you wanted a damage prevention system... here's a _graveyarded_ addon by Rising_Dusk for preventing damage. Keep in mind it is outdated though. http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t...=PreventDamage -Av3n

As Av3n said, those functions are just cosmetic, they don't effect the actual damage delt. Dusk's prevent damage library is actually pretty decent, I use it.

There are 2 things that reduce the amount of damage a unit takes: armor (only reduces attack damage or damage from UnitDamageTargetEx if it is set to ConsiderArmor) and armor type. If you want 0 damage reduction you'll need to change "Armor Damage Reduction Multiplier" to 0 and all Damage Bonus Tables to have 1.0 for every value.

Anitarf	If you need to modify the damage of attacks, I recommend DamageModifiers which is a very robust damage prevention engine. It doesn't cover the full functionality of IDDS, it lacks the support for tracking the damage type of a damage event, but there are other specialised libraries that can fill that gap, for example xedamage.

Wow guys, Thx for the big and quick help, i rly apprishiate it.

Edit: i got a problems still,

I now use ArmorUtils to get the Armor, but lol... got a serious prob!

My map uses 0 reduction, and so i changed the ARMOR_REDUCTION_MULTIPLIER to 0 but.....
well i have no nullTalisman that allows dividing throu 0... help!

JASS:

        if redc >= 1. then
            //Invulnerable
            return ARMOR_INVULNERABLE
        elseif redc < 0. then
            //Negative Armor
            return -Log(redc+1.)/NATLOG_094
        else
            //Positive Armor
            return redc/(ARMOR_REDUCTION_MULTIPLIER*(1.-redc))
        endif

ArmorUtils gets a unit's armour based on how much damage dealt to that unit is reduced. If your armour doesn't cause any damage reduction, then ArmorUtils can not work. Either your armour has to reduce damage or you need to find an alternative way to obtain a unit's current armour, for example by manually inputting base armour values for all unit types and then implementing all your armour bonuses through BonusMod.

That, good Sir, causes a fundamental change of plans.

Looks like i have to do it then in a very ugly way.

Gonna make all units do 1 damage and set GameConstant DMGreduction to 0.01,
So i would be technicaly able to get the Armor.
And then trigger everything throu IDDS.

They only downsides i can think of are:

Damage 1-1 looks ugly
Any manipulation will have to be coded
Must use Items to show any info about damage

But on the bright Side i dont have to use DamagePreventing :)
and have full on the fly controll.

Thx for help again!

Fledermaus	The other option would be to have a 0.01 Armor Damage Reduction Multiplier and whenever attack damage is delt, deal an extra GetReducedDamage(GetTriggerDamage(), GetUnitArmor(GetTriggerDamageTarget()) damage. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do. (Feel free to post what you're trying to do, we might be able to find a better way for you to do it ^^)
