How can I make a an event of a generic unit take damage?

Burger_Bling · May 14, 2007

Please be more specific...
Is this what you want though?

Trigger
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is attacked
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing damage damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal

Ham Ham · May 14, 2007

No, I want this:

Events:
Unit - Generic Unit Takes damage.
Actions:
My Actions

Register when any unit enters the map, and add a trigger to them.

Example;

Shadow1500's Damage Detection System

This is not possible on gui?
I dont know anything of jass =/

It IS possible in GUI, it will just leak

I've done it in GUI, how does it leak?

Add Damage Trig
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
- Conditions
  - <<Conditions>>
- Actions
  - Trigger - Add to Damage Trig <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)

Add Damage Trig 2
- Events
  - Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Trigger - Add to Damage Trig <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)

Damage Trig
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Unit - Kill (Damage source)

Basically, either when a unit Enters A Region or when it is picked by a Pick Every Unit you can add an event to another trigger. This lets you add every unit you want the Damage Trig to consider.

The events last forever. Also, that group there is leaking. Finally, you're getting multiple events for the same units.

The only real issue is that the events last forever, since there's no way to remove them once the unit dies.

I simply didn't kill the group (not too familiar with leak extermination) so one could do that and no leaks there.

Not sure what you mean by multiple events for the same units, you should only use one of those Add Damage Trigs.

He means that everytime a unit enters the region a new event will be created(an event is also an object that has to be removed!)
It will leak the hell outta your ass using that trigger(especielly if the group leaks arent fixed)
Just use shadow1500's which PP just linked, it is easy to use and jass knowledge isn't really neccesary to implement it.

It's the playable map area, meaning the entire map...that's rather the point. Just use a Condition or two to specialize the type of unit you're looking for, such as Unit-Type. This isn't the kind of trigger you want for every unit, I do know that.

I didn't design the trigger to be leak-free, just an example of how it could be implemented.

One question I have: you say an event is also an object that has to be removed. Does that mean that you can remove an event from a trigger in the same way you can add one? I don't see any GUI actions to do that, but GUI is GUI.

PurplePoot · May 14, 2007

Shadow1500's does a similar thing, but it's 100% leak-free, and not too hard to use in GUI, so there's really no reason not to use it
