I'm trying to figure out why this trigger doesn't work:

Events
  Unit - Any Unit is attacked with Custom Weapon
Actions
  Player - Modify player (Owner of (Attacking Unit)) Minerals: Add Hero Damage
  Text Tag - Create a text tag with the text ("+" + (Text(Hero Damage))) for (All players), using a font size of 12, at (Position of (Attacking Unit)) and height offset 1.0, initially Visible, and fog of war enforcement set to True
  Text Tag - Set Duration time for (Last created text tag) to 1.0 seconds
  Text Tag - Show (Last created text tag) for (All players)

Hero Damage is a global variable, and it is set to a non-zero value.

Why doesn't this show the text tag or give minerals?

Try changing the Event to

Any Unit Takes Fatal or Non-Fatal Damage (from [Specify your Weapon's dmg effect here])

It may be more reliable, I've had issues with using attack firing even if the attack is cancelled before damage is done.

You also may want to specify a condition that the owner of the damaging unit is not the owner of the damaged unit, so you can't leech by attacking your own units.

@Stompppp: Go

Leeching from own units is fine, as there will be very few other units that could sustain multiple attacks. Also, the minerals aren't given whether the attack succeeds or fails.

@willuwontu: Go

Custom Weapon is a selected value.

Your event isn't fireing. Custom Weapon may not be the correct weapon.

@TMMagic: Go

Custom weapon is the correct weapon, I've double checked.

@willuwontu: Go

Will do!
