Detecting Critical Strike

[Mapster]

Ok i want a simple yes/no.
Is there a way to detect Critical strike without having to make a trigger for it, i have found a trigger/tutorial but the trigger is huge so i might as well ask before i make it.

Cheers once again,
Mapster

Mmk i've made the trigger for Critical Strike and it partly works.
When the game starts it works when i upgrade it, but after a while it stops working.

I'm using a trigger thats made by Ghan_04 posted here.

            Else - Actions

I'm using 1 more trigger which adds to the event of the trigger above

Initialization
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Trigger - Add to Critical Strike <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage)

Is there a different trigger that i should be using for the event because the topic that i was reading didn't really say much in GUI.

> but after a while it stops working.

Naturally. You only add the units to the trigger at Map Initilization. You need to do it whenever any unit enters the Playable Map Area.

Thanks a lot man!

huh?

In your trigger, the Double does 3x, the Triple does 4x, and the Quadruple does 5x damage. (Damage taken already done, if you do again Damage taken it does 2x, if you multiply damage taken by 2, it does 3x, Damage taken x3 = 4x, Damage taken x5 = 5x)

btw Ghan_04's trigger to Triple / Quadruple... damage instead of Double / Triple... damage.

Note : The trigger fires even if it is attacking by using a spell.

No, level 3 does 4x damage than original. ?

No, level 3 does 4x damage than original. ?

Just count (and it's not what I said or what you said)

1 : The damage is dealt
2 : The unit takes damage
3 : The event fires
4 : The conditions are checked (lets say True for the 4x damage)
5 : The 4x damage is applied on the unit (he takes a total (4+1)x damage)
6 : The unit has taken damage
7 : The event fires
8 : The conditions are checked (well Infinite Loop if there is Unit - Cause Damage on the trigger, and will take more damage from critical.. since it took more damage with critical)
....

- Loops if Critical Strike runs
- Does 1x more damage than it should
