reduce HP method in Unit class?

[Lionhardt]

I had a look at the script that is used in Cluster Freak. Apparently the unit class has a method Destroy(). Call looks like this

Code: Select all

unit:Destroy()

. Is there also a method to deal x amount of damage to a unit? x being ether a percentage or a absolute hp value. I guess there is not... but would be great. Because I'd like to modify that script for my own purposes.

Code: Select all

unit:SetHealth(instigator, health)

Instigator is a reference to the entity that is making the health modification, can be the unit itself. Health is the value to set the health to.
A unit halving its own health then might be

Code: Select all

local fraction = 0.5
unit:SetHealth(unit, unit:GetHealth() * fraction)

This is a good reference: http://supcom.wikia.com/wiki/LUADOC_1.5.3599
