Im making a spell called explosive shot, its supposed to keep track on how much damage the caster has done to the target in the next 5 seconds.

Trigger:
  • Explosive Shot Initial Cast
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Explosive Shot (Explosive Shot)
    • Actions
      • Set ExplosiveShotCaster_U = (Casting unit)
      • Set ExplosiveShotTarget_U = (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Set ExplosiveShotDamage_Int = 0
      • Countdown Timer - Start ExplosiveShot_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds
      • Trigger - Add to Explosive Shot Damage <gen> the event (Unit - ExplosiveShotTarget_U Takes damage)
      • Trigger - Turn on Explosive Shot Damage <gen>

Trigger:
  • Explosive Shot Damage
    • Events
    • Conditions
      • (Damage source) Equal to ExplosiveShotCaster_U
    • Actions
      • Set ExplosiveShotDamage_Int = (ExplosiveShotDamage_Int + (Integer((Damage taken))))

Trigger:
  • Explosive Shot Turnoff
    • Events
      • Time - ExplosiveShot_Timer expires
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Trigger - Turn off Explosive Shot Damage <gen>
      • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(ExplosiveShotDamage_Int)) above ExplosiveShotCaster_U with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency


The problem is that it wont show the correct damage at all, and if i cast it on a unit that has been hit by it before, it will count the old damage as well.

Weep's GUI-Friendly Damage Detection system.
DuelPlayer beat me to it.

Why would you not want the system? It's very good and especially easy to use.

Because i rather not use a system i dont fully understand, and i wanna keep it as simple as possible, which means no system i gotta learn and keep in mind when i make heroes.

When a unit enters playable map area you add an event to a trigger:
(triggering unit takes damage)
then when damage is dealt you detect the source and manage the triggers to work based on:
Damaged unit has buff?
is it equal to Target_unit_ability_stomp ?
damage source equal to hero_093?

But you will have to recycle your unit or you get an event leak on your map...

Event leaks are a problem. GDD solves this problem. You say that you rather not use a system that you fully understand. But do you actually understand what you're doing in the first place? Try convert your GUI into JASS. See if you understand what's going on. Basically, you don't understand the programming language itself but you're programming with alternate method known as GUI. In my opinion, GUI is just plain inefficient.

It's probably because I found out how inefficient GUI is. If you pick up v/JASS, you'll realize how inefficient it is.

GUI doesnt need to be efficient for a game which is more then 7 years old.
what do you expect? it serves the only purpose of being (rather) easy and fast to learn and use.

Guys don't turn this into a GUI vs JASS debate. There are plenty of those already.

Your best bet would be to use GDD (in terms of efficiency and leaks). However, if you feel the need to understand everything you're doing, you can trigger it yourself.

My AOS has a GUI made damage detections and unit recycle system.
This is not awesome, but fits it's purposes.
PM me and I send you the triggers.

i strictly recommend anybody in here to not PM him to get those systems.
mapguy, seriously, stop advicing people to use inefficient resources. if you believe this hard in your own work upload it at the turorial and resources sub forum for an open discussion, if you dont then stop giving bad advice to newbies.

I told him my system is a shit, but this GUI.
he chooses what is the best for him.
I know the best is to use GDD or WEPP...I just offered a GUI made system.

He can use whatever he wants. I just offered mine cause it's GUI and the guy said he wants a system he can undertand.

Even if it's a GUI System, if it's inefficient, there's no point. Which itself contradicts itself as there really can't be an efficient GUI based system. But again, you could post it up in Tutorials and Resources section to discuss about the efficiency.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
