Set the damage amount of a damage event.

In 1.31 PTR there’s currently 3 new damage events:

1. EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED - old classic event for a specific unit;

2. EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DAMAGED - Same as 1, but for all units of a specific player on the map;

   // This seems to work fine anyway:
   call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(gg_trg_a, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DAMAGING)
   

3. EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGING - triggers before any armor, armor type and other resistances. Event for a specific unit like 1.

4. EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DAMAGING - triggers before any armor, armor type and other resistances. Useful to modify either damage amount, attack type or damage type before any reductions done by game.

1 and 2 - modify the damage after any reduction. 3 and 4 - changes damage before reduction. Amount you set will be reduced later according to target’s resistance, armor etc.

If set to <=0 during 3 or 4, then 1 or 2 will never fire. Misses don’t trigger any damage events. Set to 0.00 to completely block the damage. Set to negative value to heal the target instead of damaging.

event

EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED

note

If you’ll call UnitDamageTarget from within a trigger, which reacts to a damage event or triggered by one, it will cause infinite loop and game will crash, so you should handle such scenarios with additional logic.

note

Tip: calling GetEventDamage after you set it with this function will return the value you set.
