A way to detect attacks...

11-05-2005, 03:31 AM

Hello,

Since i was making a whole new model, i decied to give it some Dodge and Block animations, like WOW. But, here i got a problem...

1 - I was reading the forum, and know thats is not possible, but i will ask anyway. Its possible to detect when Dodge or Hardned Skin ( thats actually have a chance to block damage ) occurs ?

2 - The jass way, its possible to detect the moment between the unit attacks, ant another receive damage ?

Lets me explain the option 2 better. I need when the unit A attacks the unit B its have a chance of 10% to miss. If the unit A misses, the unit B will play the "dodge" animation.

Finally, I only need a way to make a certain unit do not receive the damage of an attack, but i need a script way to do that.

Bye.

Anitarf	You can not detect when passive abilities fire, but you can trigger them yourself. For evasion, you could dynamically cast a curse-based spells on attackers when they attack your unit. The spell would give a 100% miss chance, but you wouldn't cast it on every attack, but only on a certain percentage. That way, you would know precisely which attacks were dodged.

Hum... i not understood, it can be done in the moment that the Attacker attacks and before the Attacked unit takes damage ?

Correct, "a unit is attacked" event happens when the attacking unit starts the attack (begins playing the attack animation), while the "unit takes damage" event happens when damage is actually dealt.

Thanks its worked ^_^

And i actally found a way to do it without other spells...
There is:

Code:

Dodge
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set test = (Random integer number between 0 and 100)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                test Less than 25
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop
                Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s attack animation
                Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((Name of (Attacked unit)) +  Dodges) above (Attacked unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 10.00% transparency
                Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
                Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
                Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.00 seconds
                Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
                Wait 0.01 seconds
                Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Attack (Attacked unit)
            Else - Actions

The animation and floating text are only visual effects... To display tge "miss" floating text and such...

Its a good way to do it i think... And someone can translate it to jass i will be glady :)

Bye.
