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 -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

    so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
