Damage Taken

Castlemaster	I'm aware that the only way to find out the damage dealt by a unit is the JASS method. While shuffling through a real variable defining, I stumbled upon a "damage taken" command. My roommate said this was only for summons and doesn't do what it says. Anyone know exactly what this is?

wantok	Are you talking about the Event Response - Damage Taken in GUI? You can detect when a unit takes damage in GUI. Damage Taken gives you the damage.

Castlemaster	If that's so, then how come there are JASS codes to detect the same thing? Or do they detect something else.

Here it is in GUI and JASS.

Trigger:

Untitled Trigger 002

Events

Unit - Footman 0000 <gen> Takes damage

Conditions

Actions

Set n = (Damage taken)

JASS:

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_002_Copy_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_n = GetEventDamage()
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_002_Copy takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_002_Copy = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_002_Copy, gg_unit_hfoo_0000, EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_002_Copy, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_002_Copy_Actions )
endfunction

There are Jass codes that do it because you can take care of leaks much easier. Besides, Jass is just better.

Hydrolisk	This Event only takes SPECIFIC units. It can be used for several things in GUI, though probably best for detection. A lot of triggers would do the trick.

Jazradel	Something like: Trigger: Events: A Unit Enters the Playable Map Area Actions: Trigger - Add ((Triggering Unit) takes damage) to ShowDamage ShowDamage Trigger: Actions: Game - Display (Real to String(Event - Damge Taken)) to All players Is one way to use it.
