EDDI Event Heat damage not working?

[Gahaeris]

hello, i have the problem, that my VA not recognizes the event heat damage. then i wanted to check, what Eddi is doing in this case and noticed that there is also no action, when the heat damage event should occure. is that aknown bug, or am i doing something wrong?

Greetings o7

It should be working? Or at least I've had no reason to believe it's not.
From the journal, it looks like the most common trigger I've seen for the event is to be engaged in combat and overheating in normal space.

Does the speech responder script trigger?
Are there any errors / exceptions written to EDDI's log files (located at %appdata%/EDDI)?
Can you post a screenshot of the VoiceAttack command you've written to respond to this event?

Hello, and thanks for the answer.

Thats the thing, the speech responder does also not trigger, the heat damage, but it does trigger the heat warning, and maybe I misunderstood that, but i thought the heat damage event occurs when the temperature level is above 80 percent and the heat warning, when it is at 100. or is the heat damage something completely different?

as you can see in the screenshot, there is only the heat warning event in the eddi log and no heat damage event, which should occure a few seconds before and also no error.

in VA i have not really a script only the event as command which triggers "play a random sound" my idea was to use my own generated "ship voice" via sound files for these warnings instead of the ingame ship voice. and here the same the "100 percent" warning works perfectly but the 80 percent not.

i hope this helps a little bit

It's actually the opposite. I believe you get a heat warning when above 80% heat and then damage when you are above 100% (potentially multiple times if the elevated temperature is sustained).

[Gahaeris]

yes i thought it should be the other way around, but when i hit the 100 percent the "heat warning" triggers. maybe there is something wrong with my eddi installation, i just noticed that i have the same problem with shields up and shields down, no action in VA and also no action with the speech responder

[Gahaeris]

correction, shields up and shields down is working

It is described in the journal: https://elite-journal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Combat/#heatdamage

HeatWarning >> When written: when heat exceeds 100%
HeatDamage >> When written: when taking damage due to overheating
HullDamage >> When written: when hull health drops below a threshold (20% steps)

Both damage events could be related to the ship variable problems, as @Tkael has mentioned before.

I was able to do some more testing on this today. It looks like module damage begins when HeatWarning is triggered (at 100% heat) and hull damage begins when HeatDamage is triggered (at ~165% heat).
