Transfer Damage ?!?

I tried to figure this out since about an hour, is there any way to do the following:

Unit X and UnitGroup Y are owned by the same Player (or allied)
Now I want that when Unit X is attacked a (random) unit of Y takes the damage. (X loses 0 health, Y loses the damage that was dealt to Unit X)

Is this possible with Triggers or Abilitys?

Thx

PS: This will be used pretty often in my campaign so you´d get credit for sure :D

I belive there is a Unit takes damage event (you would want to use this and not unit is attacked). Use that to trigger the actions

Next if you have assigned units to a unit group, or want to create a unit group on the fly you can.

The main part would be: storeing the damage dealt in a temp real value. There is a Unit - Damage Taken when dealing with reals. What you do is: When unit X takes damage, grab that value, set unit X's life = to current life + dmg_Taken. Then pick random unit from unitgroup Y (it could be units owned by player within range (range_Value)) and set unit life = to life - dmg_Taken.

Yesterday I noted why I didn't know about this.

I didn't see it before cause this event only applies to Presetted Unit events not to player owned units / generic unit events.

So it is pretty useless for me.
