Adding armor to creeps

[gMThunder]

okay. so i have 3 difficulties for my td. and each is displayed by dialog buttons. so i have a voting system. and if more people picked hard then hard is game type. same for easy and insane. So, i want it so that iif hard is the difficulty picked then the creeps get 4 armor added on to their base armor. If insane mode is picked, it adds 8 armor to creeps. But the problem is, it is a td, so i need it to add armor depending on difficulty to every level.

hope this made sense? HELP!!

You could make a dummy ability based off Devotion Aura and then when a creep is created, you can add the ability, based on the level of difficulty chosen.

Example: Difficulty is easy, add a low armour bonus.

It is probably best to make 3 different abilities.

Make an upgrade based off Animal War Training.

Make the Animal War Training increase armor.

After you decide the difficulty research Animal War Training for the creep player.

In the Object Manager make all your creeps use the Animal War Training upgrade.

so how would i do this? what events in trigger editor would i have to do?

 

[Dmshu]

This is the trigger I use in my map:

        If ((InsaneVote Greater than NormalVote) and (InsaneVote Greater than HardVote)) then do (Set HighVote = InsaneVote) else do (Do nothing)
        If (NormalVote Equal to HighVote) then do (Set Difficulty = 1) else do (Do nothing)
        If (HardVote Equal to HighVote) then do (Set Difficulty = 2) else do (Do nothing)
        If (InsaneVote Equal to HighVote) then do (Set Difficulty = 3) else do (Do nothing)
        -------- If there is a tie for highvote --------
        If (HighVote Equal to 0) then do (If (NormalVote Equal to HardVote) then do (Set Difficulty = 1) else do (If (NormalVote Equal to InsaneVote) then do (Set Difficulty = 2) else do (If (HardVote Equal to InsaneVote) then do (Set Difficulty = 2) else do (Do nothing)))) else do (Do nothing)

                        Set NumWaves[0] = 1
                        Set CreepSpawnNumber = 15
                    Else - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                Difficulty Equal to 3
                            Then - Actions
                                Player - Set the current research level of Insane Upgade  to 1 for Player 12 (Brown)
                                Set NumWaves[0] = 2
                                Set CreepSpawnNumber = 15
                                Sound - Play O04Mannoroth38 <gen>
                                Sound - Set volume of (Last played sound) to 100.00%
                                Wait 7.00 seconds
                                Sound - Stop (Last played sound) After fading
                            Else - Actions
                                Do nothing

Well, basically, in the trigger that creates units add the action Unit - Add Easy Mode to (Last Created Unit). It must be added just after the creep is created.

Red = dummy ability

 

[gMThunder]

okay so dmshu, i created the upgrades. but how do iknow how much armor it gives to the creeps? i want the hard upgrade to add 4 armor and the insane upgrade to add 8?? how do i know how much it adds?

Untitled Trigger 003
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing armor as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player - Set the current research level of armor bonus  to ((Current research level of armor bonus  for Player 1 (Red)) + 4) for Player 1 (Red)

That event will increase all unit's armor to the research level of the Armor Bonus upgrade (Animal War Training w/ the effect of Apply Defense Upgrade Bonus)

The amount each level of the Animal War Training for mine is +1 because that is the data in the object editor on the unit. Set all your units Combat - Defense Upgrade Bonus fields to 1 so that it will match the level you set the Armor Bonus Upgrade to.

Just change the + # on the action to increase it by 4 or 8 depending on your difficulty.

 

[gMThunder]

i still cant get it too work.

 

[gMThunder]

anyone else got ideas? like maybe a ajss code or somethin?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

jass will not be any different than our triggers. what is it that you cant get to work. be specific please

 

[gMThunder]

well i made a building this time instead. a dummy building. and when difficulty is picked and it is registerd it creates a certain unit that casts an ability based off devotion. It is supposed to add armor depending on level. But it doesnt seem to cast the ability because when the level 1 starts and the unit runs through the maze, his armor is not increased

 

[gMThunder]

....?

 

[Dmshu]

Post your trigger that decides what the difficulty will be and tell me what force controls the units that run your maze and I will edit it accordingly.
