I've looked through the EUD database, and I can't find which one would detect a unit attacking. To simplify things, the unit I'm detecting has local ID 0.

It's the unitnode address that's called GndWpnCooldown or something. BRB i'll post the exact hex.

EDIT +0x55 for the GroundWeaponCooldown. It's a byte.

Btw, how do you use the memory condition? I've only used the death condition before for EUD's.

Cmon, don't you read this?

Here's a good memory condition topic: http://www.staredit.net/topic/8600/

So you can detect which unit attacks? Similar to what unit has lost hp? Well I didn't know that... Would make some things a lot easier.

Only to a certain extent.

If I'm correct, then as long as the unit is on cooldown, this memory condition will come back true. Therefore, ammo systems based on this would be nearly impossible. It's frustrating - a seemingly perfect ammo system, shot to pieces (pardon my graveyard humor).

No, you are speaking of say, each cycle it will come back true? This doesn't matter to me, as long as I can detect that it HAD just attacked.

If you want a better ammo system, check out my Dynamic VHP topic/map in UMS theory.

Seen that, it's not perfect by a long shot. I mean, it is, but only with specific (limiting) dependencies.

Deo, you never answered me, are you talking about like... Every cycle, if their still in cooldown, it comes back true? Etc?

If so... Just have a DC counting how long before their next attack.

I'm going to do some research on this for my rpg. My current plan is to detect if it's greater than 1, which means it has attacked. If you don't have enough ammo, you change alliance status, and the unit will stop. Then I'm going to see how I can detect when the unit has attacked without using a DC, probably by detecting when cooldown is at least 19, at most 21 (for a cooldown 22 unit). There's an added randomizer which adds/subtracts 1 or 2 from the cooldown each attack, which is why units don't always attack at the exact same speed.

Basically you're always reading the cooldown. If you read at least 1, it will always be true while the unit is on cooldown. Note there is an air, ground, and spell cooldown (but they all say the same thing, and are always the same number). The 4th or 1st byte is generally 0(I forget which one).

What do you add that to? My knowledge of EUD's is pretty limited.

EDIT: This map detects unit attack. (I think) It has an ammo system based off of that. I can't open it though; it's protected.
EDIT2: Huh, got it open this time.

A mod may close this now. I got the condition to work.

That's not nearly precise enough. Hyper triggers cycle at exactly eight times per game second, but I have no idea how many frames per second SC runs at. And cooldowns are based in frames. Death counts would have to overcompensate, and you'd have to time it by removing the player's ability to fire until your death count cooldown is over.

That's better than broken, but still not quite exact.

Ok, after some testing. . . @Loveless, yes, it detects if the unit attack is on cooldown, so you need to use a wait or a DC to time it right.

hyper triggers check every other frame. That leads me to believe you can check a range of 2 numbers to see if it's in cooldown (after a successful attack).
Starcraft runs at 16 frames per game second (thus 8 hyper triggers =1 game second).
Real time is different, Fastest is 24 fps, fast is 21, continuing down by 3 each step. Note that "normal" runs at 15 fps, so you can NEVER have 1 game second = 1 real second (unless it's lagging),

When a unit attacks, its cooldown timer is set to its cooldown +/- 2. I think a ghost will attack anywhere from 21-24, but I can't tell due to lack of data on how attacking works. It's not as simple as diablo 2.

For a zealot, the cooldown is 22. Assuming that's frames, and the map is hypertriggered, is that 11 dc's?

yes, but the cooldown varies. The way halloween priest achieved it was by force allying, I think even after you hit the first time.
