Killing detectoin with vHP

Hey, I need a trick to detect killing a unit that has vHP... I use flying units as projectiles that are shot by a player to hit another. The flying units are detected using a give, center location, and give back system. Wat i need is to detect who killed who. There are up to 6 players warring at the same time. The perfect example would be Galactic Gunnerz (yea, this map again!) in wich you get money by destroying units this way.

How are the projectiles in your map fired?



None.

You got a tank wich has a loc centered on it, you got an observer wich also got one, and you create zealots at a gateway to shoot bullets

    Wait, doesn't that second trigger basically solves your problem? You just need to do a trigger for each player, and award them, rather than detecting when Foes bring a wraith there.

    Yea, it works when hitting the player, but when the tank vHP currently gets to 0 %, won't it be difficult to detect?



    None.

    Not really, if you separate it to detect different player's wraiths hitting it when it has 1% left, you can tell who got the kill.



    None.

    Your triggers already detect it. (being hit)
    Whatever actions you want for the shooter execute them there for current player. For example set a dc or custom score.

    EDIT: sry wrote the above 2h ago.

    Yeah make a copy of the being hit trigger and and add a condition "foes brings at most 0/1 vHP to blue tank"
    The first of those copies will run where there's a kill, stopping the 2nd from running, as the wraith got killed already.

    NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
    yeh thts straight up cheating

    NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
