System Damage

[hgkjfhfdsj]

In which case, I agree, you need to attach to the damage stack some how. But then you need callbacks to flush your attachments as the damage stack increments... which becomes a pain.

i got lost there
for learning purposes could you/someone sketch what it would look like?

hi there, im kinda new in jass. im trying this system and its really good. im making some basic examples to find out the system. however im getting "undeclared function Damage_IsAttack" error

scope Example initializer Start

private function Actions takes nothing returns boolean
     if Damage_IsAttack() then           
        call Damage_BlockAll()
    endif
    return false
endfunction

function Start takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerAddAction( t, function Actions )
        call Damage_RegisterEvent(t)
endfunction

endscope

what's wrong in there?

 

[Laiev]

copy the trigger from the post, not the demo map

will work fine

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

- what version jasshelper/system?
- i think you meant TriggerAddCondition?

 

[aggro]

>>i think you meant TriggerAddCondition?

yeah, thats the point. i couldnt add Damage_IsAttack condition. it gives the error what i told up here. i have the latest jasshelper newgen etc.

Out of date version in the demo map. Get from first post, instead.

//
    private struct Detector extends array // Uses AIDS.
        //! runtextmacro AIDS()
        
        private static conditionfunc ACTIONS_COND
        
        private trigger t
        
        private method AIDS_onCreate takes nothing returns nothing
            set this.t=CreateTrigger()
            call TriggerAddCondition(this.t,thistype.ACTIONS_COND)
            call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent(this.t,this.unit,EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED)
        endmethod
        
        private method AIDS_onDestroy takes nothing returns nothing
            call DestroyTrigger(this.t)
        endmethod
        
        private static method AIDS_onInit takes nothing returns nothing
            set thistype.ACTIONS_COND=Condition(function OnDamageActions)
        endmethod
    endstruct

Due to the JASSHelper compile-time wackiness, putting the AIDS textmacro at the top of the struct like this wastefully creates three conditions to execute onInit, onCreate, and onDestroy, needlessly increasing handle count and needlessly slowing down those processes. Putting the textmacro at the bottom of the struct prevents this problem. Then again, you're using the method operator unit from the AIDS struct, which stupidly compiles to a condition-evaluation instead of inlining if the textmacro is below the declaration. vJass totally fails.

I am new and I don't know jass can anyone help me.
I know don't how to make every skill deal damage using "Damage" ex. "Shock Wave"

 

[Laiev]

you need recreate that spell with trigger to use the function to deals damage by the system

 

[Lmfaocj]

you need recreate that spell with trigger to use the function to deals damage by the system

How would I do that, with the shock wave spell because it's a aoe and has not buffs, how would I make the skill deal damage?

and does normal attacking have something I can add so it does not detect normal damage.

like if I was to use

//function Conditions takes nothing return boolean
//    if ( not (  ) )
//        return false
//    endif
//    return true
//endfunction

function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local real Damage=GetEventDamage
    call Damage_Block
    call UnitDamageTargetEx( GetEventDamageSource(), GetTriggerUnit(), Damage, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGIC, WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS)
endfunction
    
//===========================================================================
function HyperAttack takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t= CreateTrigger()
//    call TriggerAddCondition( t, function Conditions)
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Actions)
    call Damage_RegisterEvent
endfunction

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

If you don't know JASS, it's probably a bit unrealistic to try to trigger damage for something like Shockwave...

There's a few ways, the simplest being make it deal 0 damage, then register Damage's Zero damage event, and deal the actual damage. If you use a dummy caster, you can also attach the caster to the dummy and the amount of damage... Would allow you to change the damage of spells over time, etc, as well.

But if you don't know JASS in the first place, it's a bit of a pain. By a bit of a pain, I mean I don't find it likely that you can complete it.

Edit: I wonder if someone can make a system which does the above in an effective way..?

//          function Damage_RegisterEvent takes trigger whichTrigger returns nothing
//              - This registers a special "any unit takes damage" event.
//              - This event supports dynamic trigger use.
//              - Only triggers registered on this event may block damage.
//              - Only fires when the damage dealt is not 0.

How do I control this thing, or to put it more precissly, what am i suppose to do with this function? Where am i suppose to call it?

EDIT: can normal damage (regular attacks from unit within the map) be blocked? Or do I have to make another "healing trigger" for those attacks?

in the event part, instead of any other event, call it, that is the event

EDIT: can normal damage (regular attacks from unit within the map) be blocked? Or do I have to make another "healing trigger" for those attacks?

ya, it can block regular damage from unit

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

instead of any event?

what if i want an periodic event or something?
or possibly a player chat message event?

EDIT: am i suppose to put this in the regular trigger event register, at the bottom of the trigger? or in the actions of the trigger simply calling an event register function?

 

[Laiev]

Yes..

function onInit takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    
    call Damage_RegisterEvent(t)
    call TriggerAddAction(t, function Callback)
endfunction

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

but, what is this OnInit function, i mean from where to call it/use it?

am i suppose to call it from the regular action function? or
from the InitTrig_<triggername> or what?

EDIT: what confuses me is that they say "must register every trigger to it, or else they cant block"

 

[kingkingyyk3]

Jasshelper allows you to make your own init function.

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

within which segment of my "custom script converted trigger" and when will it fire?

 

[kingkingyyk3]

scope <MyScopeName> initializer <My Init function name>
