How to make a unit not die by an attack more than its max HP?

[Ayanami]

In the first place, why 100% GUI? It cannot be efficient. There's no way it will be. You will at least have to integrate basic JASS functions, at least for leak removal. I don't see why there is a need to use 100% GUI. And as I said, Weep's GDD uses global variables. So no custom script will be needed. It's just that his snippet is written in JASS, but you'll be able to use his GDD functions with Global Variables, meaning GUI. There's a reason why it's called GUI-Friendly Damage Detection (GDD).

I only use some custom scropts like:
call RemoveLocation (udg_loc)
call DestroyGroup (udg_group)
and some others


WOW!

I DIND IT NOW!

USING my way of reciclying units I can detect buffs in dead units because they are not dead, I just hide them and make invul + pause.
using my way I can detect buffs on units supposed to be dead.
I dont thing GDD ca doo it

Ok, I believe my answer lies within Weep's GDD? I don't know what its about, so I'm going to go take a look at it now. Hopefully I'll understand it.

And as for

just use the item ability +100 HP. and changee to +999999 HP.
then you give this ability to the unit when damage is DETECTED and starts a countdown timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds. when timer expires you remove the ability from the unit.

no need for WEPP.

only use the basic:

a unit takes damage

It still doesn't work, because if the unit is already dead from being hit by more than its current HP in one shot, how can you add the item ability to it?

 

[Jedi]

Is your unit already on the map, or you are creating it later ?

 

[Wummi]

Preplaced (already on the map). It would be wonderful if someone could post a trigger of how it would work.

the damage is detected before it is dealed

Maybe this is a use for the seemingly useless Unit is attacked function in GUI.

 

[Wummi]

the damage is detected before it is dealed

If that is the case, how come my Fortress still dies when the first action of the trigger is to turn the Fortress Invulnerable?

• Fortress Takes Damage
  • Events
    • Fortress 0000<gen> takes damage
  • Conditions
    • Life of Triggering unit is less than or equal to 12000
  • Actions
    • Make triggering unit Invulnerable

If at any given moment the Fortress' Hitpoints is greater or equal to 13000 and say a creep with 50000 Chaos Damage comes and attacks it, the Fortress is still destroyed.

im not talking about unit is attacked.

Maybe the invul ocurs after the damage is taken, try giving 999999 hitpoints to your unit

 

[HeX.16]

Well if it is damaged then it will die before the effects... Attacked will place it before it takes damage....

 

[mapguy]

attacked will not prevent damage. because the attack ocurst before the damage.
you just have to add +999999HP to your unit.

 

[HeX.16]

Careful common sense below

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Item Life Bonus (Greater) to (Triggering unit)

 

[Weep]

If at any given moment the Fortress' Hitpoints is greater or equal to 13000 and say a creep with 50000 Chaos Damage comes and attacks it, the Fortress is still destroyed.

As said, the event occurs before the damage is dealt. Its health has not yet fallen below 12000. Your condition needs to be like this:

• Fortress Takes Damage
  • Events
    • Fortress 0000<gen> takes damage
  • Conditions
    • ((Life of Triggering unit) - (Damage dealt)) is less than or equal to 12000
  • Actions
    • Make triggering unit Invulnerable

Under which comparison can I find the Damage Dealt in the condition? I can't find it.

 

[sylvannis mb]

hey i know use are all talking about other stuff but have you tried this?

• damage
  • Events
    • Unit - Keep 0000 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - (Damage taken)) Less than or equal to 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to 1.00
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

and this

• invul
  • Events
    • Unit - Keep 0000 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Less than or equal to 10000.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Invulnerable
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

and the command that gives invul, just change to the trigger you want
hope this helps

Real Comparison, and sorry, it's Event Response - Damage Taken, not Dealt.
