How to call blood effects?...as in those guts that spurt forth when a hero or unti dies? I wish to have those created on demand...whenever the unit is damaged...
Is there a specific .mdx i should reference in war3.mpq?

2||
Where can i find a list of all attachment points for ingame gfx?
For ins5tance, i doubt that the only existing one is : overhead. Very grateful if someone knows.

and last.

How do you capture the damage of a hero, and save it as any kind of triggerable variable? Or is this also using the "unit - set custom value" that anitarf has told me about? If so disreguard this.

-Thanks again fellow mappers!

As far as special effects go, here are a few:
lefthand
righthand
origin (bottom of the unit)
head (overhead is above it, head is right on it)
weapon
and feet I believe, but don't quote me on the last one.

And the damage thing, are you talking about the damage he does to a unit, or his damage value all together?

1- Use a trigger with- action- special effect- create special effect on point, under "spawned effects" models, there is a lot of blood from dead units.
2-Attached is a list of all atachment points.

The damage he does to a unit is useful. That is what i orginally wanted||

But also, i wish to be able to...manipulate his damage range....with the use of triggers...or if anyone can answer in terms of jass, i will accept the knowledge and bash my head onto the jass editor wall once again.
Hero, say level one, with damage of 26-36.
I would liek to change that at a certain point..say in response to a customised trigger-spell effect...and boost it. But that would mean being able to regulate it with triggers...so i would appreciate any input on that.

But more importantly..to find out how much the said unit/heo has done to the unit he has succesfully atatcked..and hit.

Oh, and thaks alot for the attachment listing!!!!!! ^_^

Why don't you said that you wish to boost the damage?Bonusmod is the best thing to do this, it is on the repository.

Thanks for the redirection to the BOnusMod, but i have the last question unanswered:

How do you detect how much damage an attacking unit (hero and/or reg. unit) has done to the attacked reg unit, building, or hero.
Or is there simply no way to detect this value for trigger use?
-Thanks again

There is a "a unit takes damage" event, wich has a real event response called "damage taken", but the event only work for a specific unit, it is not a generic unit event.

Are you sure of this?
I sjut loaded up my WE and this event doesn't appear there...
Is there a difference between ROC WE and TFT WE? (slightly offtopic question, but would explain why people keep telling me to use actiosn which do not exist o_O )

And by actions i mean events. oops!

Surelly that there is a difference...A big difference.. if you have roc you will not find this event.
If not, check on "Generic unit event".

AH..i see...so more offtopically, is everyone on the wc3campaigns forums set thier midnhs to answer trigger problems and everythign else in terms of the TFT WE?
-Thanks again...i'll ask questions on the forum with an explicit : ANSWER IN TERMS OF ROC WE from now on lol...

SORRY: (lol) i forgot to ask, so for WE ROC there is no 'unit - create custom value' action....is there?

No... put on your signature... sorry, it is just because I never had Roc only, I forgot that there is persons that don't have TFT.
