Creep XP

[ryerye1996]

i can't figure out how to change the amount of XP given from a creep. I also need to change the XP given depending on the hero's lvl. for example: a creep gives 100% XP when the hero is the same lvl as the creep, but when the hero is a higher level, the creep only gives 80% of the total XP.
Help is greatly appreciatted

It might not be the best, but if all your creeps are of the same level, you can just set exp gain to lower every time your hero levels up. if its not, maybe u might wanna try...

Event-
A unit attacks
Condition- attacking unit is a hero AND creep is lower lvl
Action- set exp gain lower

Event-
A unit attacks
Condition- attacking unit is a hero AND creep is higher level
Action- set exp gain higher

As i said, this might not be the best.

Try Advanced -> Gameplay Constants -> Hero XP Gained - Creep Reduction Table

how does the reduction table work?

Actually normal options already have this feature, when hero is higher lvl he gains less exp from lower level monsters. Also, every level hero needs more exp to level up.

I think what the TO wants is a way to decrease the xp gained per level difference.

For example you are level 3 and kill a level 3 monster, you get 100%; if you are level 3 and kill a level 2 monster, you get 90%, etc. ...

This is NOT possible via gameplay constants, as the creep reduction tables only reduces xp gained by ALL LEVEL creeps.


You need to trigger your experience system, which is a good idea anyways, since the ordinary xp system sucks (more players = less xp fucks up multiplayer games)


Basicly, set the creep reduction table to one single value: 0 and then add to heroes experience manually when a creep dies.

Hey buddy, I understand these topics can be quite frustrating so I will post a trigger of mine that I use, that when a creep dies, a hero gains a certain amount of experience depending on the creep.

To customize it for a specific hero level, create a Integer Variable and set it to the hero's level and do something similar to this:

Hero Level
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 8 (Pink) Dies
    Conditions
        (Killing unit) Equal to (Learning Hero)
    Actions
        Set HeroLevel = (Hero level of (Learning Hero))
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                HeroLevel Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                If ((Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Scout lvl 1) then do (Hero - Set (Killing unit) experience to ((Hero experience of (Killing unit)) + 20), Show level-up graphics) else do (Do nothing)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

Note: You will need several of the actions that I have listed for every hero level and creep that is killed, it can turn out to be an extremely long GUI Trigger.

If you use JASS, here is the JASS code:

Hero Level
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 8 (Pink) Dies
    Conditions
        (Killing unit) Equal to (Learning Hero)
    Actions
        Set HeroLevel = (Hero level of (Learning Hero))
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                HeroLevel Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                If ((Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Scout lvl 1) then do (Hero - Set (Killing unit) experience to ((Hero experience of (Killing unit)) + 20), Show level-up graphics) else do (Do nothing)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

Hero Level
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 8 (Pink) Dies
    Conditions
        (Killing unit) Equal to (Learning Hero)
    Actions
        Set HeroLevel = (Hero level of (Learning Hero))
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                HeroLevel Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                If ((Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Scout lvl 1) then do (Hero - Set (Killing unit) experience to ((Hero experience of (Killing unit)) + 20), Show level-up graphics) else do (Do nothing)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

I hope that helped you, feel free to contact me personally if you have any more trouble

I would suggest getting a formula that can work across the levels, here's an example of a basic system for this:

• Experience
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Dying unit)) controller) Not equal to User
    • ((Owner of (Killing unit)) controller) Equal to User
    • Actions
      • Hero - Add ((Level of (Dying unit)) x 5) experience to (Killing unit), Show level-up graphics

You can add a reduction percentage by multiplying that by the percentage in decimal form (XY%=.XY) But that will require a lot more triggers, unless the reduction percentage is ((Hero Level-Creep Level)/100). Basically, there's no way I can think of to do it without a lot of triggering.

Also, strongfoe, you used gui tags on your jass triggers, or just forgot to actually put jass.
