Damage Trigger

[tonton302]

This trigger made me very confused:banghead: but is very helpful to the map.

The trigger would be like this:
A unit attacks another unit and it shows the damage floating up over the unit for about 1 sec and it dissaperes. This trigger is in The Cursed Hero's ORPG and it works in there so if u can help plz.

 

[DragonBlade]

event:
unit - a unit is attacked

conditon:
none

actions:
Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(((Integer((Max life of (Attacked unit)))) - (Integer((Life of (Attacked unit))))))) at (Position of (Attacked unit)) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds

that wont work as he wants it to do.


@tonton302: this is a little bit tricky with the world editor, what you need is a damage detection system (DDS) because the "unit is attacked" event occurs before the attacked unit takes any damage, therefor you 1). cannot get the amount of damage dealt with that event 2). the floating text would appear too early for ranged attacks.

I would say, use Weeps gui-friendly-damage-detection-system (GDD).
this way you can track whether a unit actually takes damage, this will fire for any kind of damage any time for every unit.
