GetEventDamage not working for enemies? wtf

JASS:

ffunction hgdamagecheck takes nothing returns boolean
    local unit u = LoadUnitHandle(udg_hash, GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit()), StringHash("hgattacker"))
    local unit target = LoadUnitHandle(udg_hash, GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit()), StringHash("hgself"))
    local boolean bool = LoadBoolean(udg_hash, GetHandleId(u), StringHash("HGactive"))
    local boolean dafired = LoadBoolean(udg_hash, GetHandleId(u), StringHash("DAfired"))
    set hgpassed = true
    call BJDebugMsg(GetUnitName(u))
    call BJDebugMsg(GetUnitName(target))
    if (GetEventDamage() >= 1.0) then
        call BJDebugMsg("damage >1")
        if(GetEventDamageSource() == u) then
        call BJDebugMsg("passed damage source check")
            if((GetUnitAbilityLevel(target, 'B004') >= 1)) then
                call BJDebugMsg("Has B004")
                return true
            else
                if (GetBooleanAnd(dafired, bool))then
                call SaveBoolean(udg_hash, GetHandleId(u), StringHash("DAfired"), false)
                call BJDebugMsg("has B003 and is active")
                return true
                else
                endif
            endif
        else
        endif
    else
    endif
    call BJDebugMsg("falsed it")
    set hgpassed = false
    return true
endfunction


when the check is called for a player owned unit it passess the checks and returns true.

when check is called for an enemy unit it doesnt pass the
JASS:
if (GetEventDamage() >= 1.0) then


Why does this not work for enemy units?

EDIT: return value of GetEventDamage() = 0.0 when the damaged unit is an enemy, but he still gets damage by the attack (which i seen), WTF?
EDIT: EDIT: the function i posted is used as a condition in a trigger.

Purpose:
I attack a unit while having an ability (Item Attack Frost Damage Bonus)
and save the attacker and the aterget to hesh, create a new trigger that registers when the target is damaged.
If the target is damaged i than check if the damage is >=1
if it is than i check is the attacker = damage dealer
and finally does unit have a "slowed" debuf (to avoid having attacked, than damage via spell of the attacker before the projectile hits, resulting in double effect)

if it does it returns true to the trigger conditions
if it doest it sets the global bool to false and returns true.

The action in the trigger first checks if the global bool is true, i it is than it continues with it's course otherwise it does nothing

Problem is when the enemy unit is attacked by my hero, the trigger is made, event is registered but the condition doesnt pass,
the EventDamage displays as 0.0, even though the target clearly gets damaged....

so what gives??

What do you mean by 'the condition doesn't pass'?

Is that the condition function doesn't run at all, or the damage >= 1 condition doesn't pass.

Maybe ppl will understand your problem better if you post the whole trigger(creation,event registration...)

Add a line call BJDebugMsg(R2S(GetEventDamage())) and see what it displays.

    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
