Showing Damage? mine appears as zero's why is this?

09-27-2006, 02:04 AM

Well I know how to make it show the damage, but the damage isnt being calculated properly or something...

Everytime I attack, "0" appears, instead of the damage I deal, which is 4...

If I use String to real it shows it as 0.000

if I use String To Integer, Then Integer to Real, it displays 0, So, anyone know where my problem is >>

Trigger:

Damage Delt

Events

Advanced - Any unit takes damage

Conditions

Actions

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer((Damage taken))))) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 15.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Set FloatingText[0] = (Last created floating text)

Floating Text - Change FloatingText[0]: Disable permanence

Floating Text - Change the lifespan of FloatingText[0] to 3.00 seconds

Floating Text - Change the fading age of FloatingText[0] to 1.00 seconds

Vexorian	seems like an issue with WEU's any unit takes damage event

corvy	Yes, that must be it. The event must not be setting the damage taken to any value, as any real or integer will just return zero if it is not given a value. Try using the "Unit enters map area; add event for trigger" method; it's tried and true, and I've heard bad things about WEU specific functions anyways.

I didn't write this, I just had this map saved away and I found it. The author didn't put his name on it and the map is called 'Dection System'

Trigger:

Unit Check

Events

Map initialization

Conditions

Actions

Set TextDamage = (Units in (Playable map area))

-------- - --------

Unit Group - Pick every unit in TextDamage and do (Trigger - Add to FloatText Creation <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage))

-------- - --------

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TextDamage)

Trigger:

Unit Detection

Events

Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)

Conditions

Actions

Trigger - Add to FloatText Creation <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

Trigger:

FloatText Creation

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer((Damage taken))))) above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 5.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 100.00 towards 85.00 degrees

-------- - --------

Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.40 seconds

Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.65 seconds

shadow1500	That method leaks. If you have a lot of unit recycling it might be a good idea to implement a leakless version: http://www.wc3jass.com/viewtopic.php?t=2608.
