Order unit to attack damage source unit when damaged

[excis]

Hi, I'm trying to make my own version of WoW's Concecration and i suspect i would need to use a damage detecting trigger but im wondering if it is possible without.
What i want is a unit takes damage
order damaged unit to attack damage dealing unit.

not all people play WoW, include me. Mind you explain a bit more regarding the spell?

If the spell is excatly simple as your description, use GDD by weep. If will work fine.

You mean something like this?

• Example
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Attack (Attacking unit)

The spell is basically you activate it and fire spawns beneath you dealing dmg to all enemies who stands in it.

I get the spell...

Are you trying to make it into a taunt? So that when it deals damage to a unit, it will attack it?

The trigger does not need to be complex, and I suggest the spell itself be based on an aoe, such a thunderclap ingame.

Make a trigger that goes off when an ability is cast
-condition ability = concencration


Then make a temporary unit group and set it to all the units around the casting unit (adjust the distance to correlate with how wide your concencration ability deals damage)

Do something like this:

Make a unit variable and set it to the casting unit, let's call it "Caster"

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 100.00 of (Caster))) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Caster))) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack Caster
      • Else - Actions

If you have any questions plz ask!

You dont have to make a Unit Variable right? Just set the unit to attack Casting Unit

 

[Seprest]

oh yeah, you can do that, no variable

      • Else - Actions

that trigger leaks, i would not recommend using it.

would be better if you do it somehow like this:

• set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 100.00 of (Triggering Unit)))
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Caster))) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack Caster
        • Else - Actions
  • call DestroyGroup (udg_TempUnitGroup)

if you dont do it this way each time this trigger is run it will take some of your memory and not give it back until the game is closed. if this trigger is run frequently it will cause lagg.
