Detecting Invulnerability

[Ben]

Is there any way of detecting invulnerability? In reality I'd like a condition like: matching unit is unvulnerable = true

Thanks

You can detect if a unit has the ability Invulnerable (Neutral Passive) or if it has a buff (Divine Shield for example)

Well as u say unvulnerable u mean vulnerable? Invulnerable is unhurtable, vulnerable is hurtable

You can make a buff called invulnerable and do condition
if unit has buff (Invul) = true then etc...

EDIT:Except that maybe spell stealers etc can use steal buff....
I guess if a unit becomes invulnerable you can set the custom value of that
unit to 2 say...
andddd the condition would be if custom value of unit = 2 then (he is invul) etc.
then have another trigger when u cast invul or use invul potion , when its done
it the custom value goes back to 0 or 1... could use, after 15 secs or w/e
based on how long invul is

You could make a variable (integer I guess) and make the unit invulnerable at the begin of your map.

Something like..

Events - Map initialization
Conditions -
Actions - Make Footman 001 Invulnerable
Set InvulCheck = (InvulCheck + 1)

Events - ...
Conditions -
Actions - If InvulCheck equal to 1 then it's [B]invulnerable[/B] else it's [B]vulnerable[/B]

Events - ...
Conditions -
Actions - Make Footman 001 Vulnerable
Set InvulCheck = (InvulCheck - 1)

Do you get where I am going? But this will be kinda annoying if you wish to do it for like 100 mobs or more across your map.

If there are only certain units that are invulnerable, you can put them in a unit group !

hmm... would have to make a lot of variables
would custom value do the job?

 

[Nexor]

just check for it's level of Invulnerable, if it's 1 then it's invulnerable if it's 0, the unit is vulnerable

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Where does this "Level of Invulnerable" come from ?

 

[Nexor]

You cant check directly if the unit has the ability or not, this is the ultimate solution for this problem

 

[WolfieeifloW]

I'm asking where you even get the initial 0/1 in the first place.

 

[Nexor]

I don't get your question

 

[WolfieeifloW]

just check for it's level of Invulnerable, if it's 1 then it's invulnerable if it's 0, the unit is vulnerable

What is a "level of Invulnerable"?
How do you know 1 is invulnerable while 0 is vulnerable?

 

[Nexor]

I think this can only be used with the ability addition/removal of Invulnerability (Neutral) and cannot be used with the trigger action :S

It's easy, if you have a skill that makes you invulnerable then it can't be level 0, if you don't have it it can't be level 1

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Oh, okay then.

@Ben:

You can detect if a unit has the ability Invulnerable (Neutral Passive) or if it has a buff (Divine Shield for example)

I'd go with this suggestion.

I wish there was a proper way to detect invulnerability, since in my map I have divine shield, triggered invulnerability, and units with the Invulnerable (neutral) ability.

Checking for the buff or ability won't work in all situations
