EMP

Is it still hp removal?

[MauranKilom]

It is. But it checks for the 'Bcyc' and the 'Bcy2' buffs (they are applied to a cycloned unit), and won't change the HP if the unit is affected by one of them.

And i just noticed, technically EMP has nothing to prevent the known 0.405 HP suicide bug.

if GetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(),UNIT_STATE_LIFE)>loc_real02 then
  call SetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(),UNIT_STATE_LIFE,GetUnitState(GetEnumUnit(),UNIT_STATE_LIFE)-loc_real02)

If the unit has e.g. 100.2 HP and EMP removes 100 HP (loc_real02=100) the unit will be left with 0.2 HP which is "dead" according to the wc3 engine (units with HP<0.405 are considered dead). Since the death wasn't caused by any form of damage, the kill would be given to noone and the unit would've committed suicide. Yet I haven't seen that happen (and AM saw more strange things already...); I assume that "bug" wasn't introduced in this version.

That means it will still affect a unit which is invulnerable through other means?

[MauranKilom]

Yes. It will however ignore magic immune units.

The coding (except for tornado interaction of course) is the same for 6.72 so the "bug" wasn't introduced in this version.

Yeah, i checked that later and didn't think of going back to this thread cos i was mailing icefrog.

[chukky-jr]

quick question, Bcyc and Bcy2 are buffs for Tornado and Eul? or is it only used on Tornado?

[MauranKilom]

Oddly enough, Cyclone (the base ability) always places two buffs. I haven't been able to distinguish them.
I tested this once because i wanted a tornadoed unit without the invulnerability, but removing either buff ends the tornado (iirc).
