Converting Real to Integer

[LordSaddler1]

I have two questions. First one is, if you have the event, "A unit is attacked", do events involving damage trigger? Or is there another way to bring damage done into a trigger?

Second question is, when for an arithmetic thing for damage, how do you make it so you can put an integer variable in, rather than a real?

Conversion - Real to Integer

Try that.

thx
+ rep, should've noticed that XD
do you know about my first question?

If your first question was about how to detect damage, its a lot more complicated then that.

Here are the separate events:

Unit - A unit is attacked
Unit - Unit takes damage

As you can see, there is no generic unit event for unit takes damage. You need to use a specific unit. Search for damage detection in the search pages and you will see how it works, basically.

I don't believe unit is attacked + damage amount/source will work together.

 

[saw792]

Of course not. That is what I just said.

The 'unit is attacked' event occurs when the attack order is given, before any damage is given or taken or the attack animation is even played.

Unit - A unit is attacked

so, to do this I have to have another trigger that would add the event into this trigger?

Yes. If you're still unsure, search the forums for a damage detection system.

 

[saw792]

Exactly right, for the basic damage detection system.

A good, more advanced system can be found here:

Otherwise you could just use this:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set TempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Trigger - Add to YourTrigger <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
    Conditions
    Actions
        Trigger - Add to YourTrigger <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)
