No Unit Takes Damage = No Unit !?

No Unit Takes Damage = No Unit !?

I'm thinking of ways to create something like generic Unit Takes Damage event, seeing as the Takes Damage appears only in the Specific Unit Event group.
Alright, what do you think will happen if I put it like this:

Event:
No unit Takes Damage
Conditions
No unit Equal to Attacked unit
Actions:
...(something)...

I'd like to hear your opinion about this weird idea. :?

believe me, nothing will happen :P just try the event 'any unit takes damage'
#3
Ramzabelieve me, nothing will happen :P just try the event 'any unit takes damage'


The event does not exist... Searching for it, you will realize that it was not implemented by Blizzard. They added the event only for a certain unit.

maybe it was a WEU function then, i really thought i once used sumthing like it
#5
:o In that case what should I do!? :cry:
#6
I think the event 'unit is attacked' is the ebst option, or dl WEU just for that 'any unit takes damage' event :P
#7
Where the heck am I supposed to download this WEU!? :? I don't even know what an WEU is, damnit! :x :oops:
#8
:D its World Editor Unlimited, u can just dl it on this site in the tools section, last page. but do make a back up of ur map, cuzx it gives errors sometimes and stuff

WEU doesn't have a working Any Unit Takes Damage event.

I made one, I'll post it after this lecture is done.
#10
really? and then what do u call this?

Advanced - Any unit takes damage


its in the advanced unit events of WEU, so i quess that means u made ur event for nothing huh? :P

Alright, I downloaded and installed the WEU. I opened my map with the WEU and there are two things I'm worried about:

1) What Unit condition fo you use for 'Any unit takes damage'?

2) When I save the map with the new data, the World Editor disabled the triggers with this new WEU events/conditions/actions. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Is it because of the versions?
#12
1) damage source is the dealer of damage, and the target is triggering unit

2) edit map with WEU enchancer and check the advanced triggers

Ok, I think I know how to use this tool now. But... there's still something that bugs me a little; what if I make a spell by using the WEU enhancements and when someone with a normal WE decides to open the map, he won't get anything! Will it pop up the 'Error - No such data exists' window? I mean, won't this map cause errors and maybe crashes if someone else tries to open it?
#14
thats right, it will return errors if someone tries to open this map with normal WE. imo you should just do it with WEU and add a note to the description like "this spell requires WEU to open it" or sumthing.
#15
Yeah, I guess I can warn people about the WEU. :?
I noticed that this Enhancement is something really big! All these Trigger and Object Editor changes, the AI-s and everything else... Will all of this function properly in a Warcraft game? :?
