Attack Damage Detection

[Arcane]

I was just wondering if it is possible to detect how much a unit hits for (without counting armor reduction or anything else), and add attack bonuses based on that number. (And if so how of course.)

Edit: Sort of like a triggered critical strike.

 

[Drunken_God]

make a trigger like
Init trigg:
map init
pick every unit in map and do add to (damage trigg) the event picked unit takes damage

New unit trigg:
unit enters playable map area
add to (damage trigg) the event triggering unit takes damage

then the damage trigg:
Event: None
Condition: None
Action: disply to all players the text string(damage taken)
and so on

But that would give me the damage AFTER it's been reduced by armor/abilities etc... And it would be impossible to perform a "critical strike" animation.

1 : You can't detect unless you register all (because dices and sides per dice).
2 : Add a hidden critical strike before hit?

this might work.. but it's tedious: make a clone of a unit (wand of illusion), teleport the clone to a far-off area, and make it attack a target that has 0 armor and an armor type that takes 100% from all damage types, etc. and then take an average of that damage or something

@Chocobo: Is that how other people do it? I'm sure somebody has triggered a critical strike before.

@Slapshot136: Er... I'd rather not resort to that method. I definitely thought about it though. The clone might not attack the same as the original. (Say the hero's attack damage was 1-99)

A real triggered critical strike? Not possible. Only a one that simulate a critical strike.

for instance :

Show Damages
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set loc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Damage source) has buff Evasion ) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Set RandomInt = (Random real number between 2.00 and 4.00)
                -------- Damage Multiplier --------
                Set CriticalMultiplier = RandomInt
                -------- Random Percentage --------
                Set RandomReal = (Random real number between 0.00 and 100.00)
                -------- Critical Percentage --------
                Set CriticalPercentage = 15.00
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                RandomReal Less than CriticalPercentage
            Then - Actions
                -------- DamageDealt is a real which handles the whole damage dealt --------
                Set DamageDealt = ((Damage taken) x CriticalMultiplier)
                -------- Anti-Infinite Loop --------
                Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
                Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (DamageDealt - (Damage taken)) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal
                Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
                -------- Shows a Red Floating Text --------
                Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String((Integer(DamageDealt)))) + !) at loc with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
            Else - Actions
                -------- If No Critical it does a white message --------
                Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String((Integer(DamageDealt)))) + !) at loc with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 15.00 towards 90.00 degrees
        Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 3.00 seconds
        Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
