I'm pretty sure it's really simple, I just can't remember

function UnitPreDamaged(... weaponDefID ...)
if weaponDefID == -1 then return newDamageByDebris end
iirc
debris only does
damage when SFX.EXPLODE and/or SXF.FIRE
damage amount, radius etc is hardcoded somewhere here

Change all HP and damage values by the same factor. The only (iirc) unchanged thing is debris damage so you're set (well fall damage is unchanged too but that is default off).

Code: Select all
function gadget:UnitPreDamaged(unitID, unitDefID, unitTeam, damage, paralyzer, weaponDefID, attackerID, attackerDefID, attackerTeam)
if weaponDefID == -1 then
return 0
end
end
Works correctly, but whever the
debris hits, infolog prints this:
InfoLog wrote:[f=0000712] Warning: UnitPreDamaged(): 1st value returned should be a number (newDamage)
As I said it works correctly, but this spammy bit kinda sucks.

That's it? Derp. Thanks.
Could you explain why for the not-so-learned in the room (aka, me)? Well I suppose what I mean is, why is that necessary? Is this common as in something that is done often or is this a special case for one reason or another?

That's it?
acuelly is untested but something like that.
when there is no return, function returns nil.
nil isnt a number, so instead just pass old
damage.

Oh. That was a lot less complicated that I thought it would be. Thanks for the help and explanation.

The odd thing is, I've seen some other gadgets using the UnitPreDamaged callins, that don't retun anything explicitely in most case, and yet they didn't cause that warning.

yes, me too but maybe was confusion with UnitDamaged.
also there is paralyzer, maybe return that too.
