Set damage/armor chat command

[wilze]

How do I modify a units damage/armor with a chat command? :banghead:

I have already made trigger that sets the health and mana of the unit to a requested value (after a tutorial by Tom Jones). Now I need help with this! Thanks in advance!

Edit: One more question, how would I make this trigger loop the unit animation?

• Play Animation
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing <Empty String> as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 4)) Equal to play
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group_A and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s (Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) animation

for damage use the ability item attack damage bonus with 30 levels or more.
at level 1 put 0 bonus damage, increasing by 10 or 5 each level.
then u increase the level by trigger giving the ability to the unit if doesnt have it.

for armor u can do the same, the ability name is item armor bonus

Try the 'Set Damage' link my signature.

Holy crapper! I just imported your system into my map, and I think I did it properly. But I had to change the substring conditions in your test command trigger cause I already had another command that interfered with that one. But now when I test it, the unit I have selected inherits a bunch of abilities? And gains no damage? I'll upload the map so you can take a look.

Mind posting the triggers instead?

The system should work fine. Just copy the system trigger. Remember to auto generate unknown variables (can be found in File>Preference). The damage addition/setting trigger should be the source of your problem. Also, remember to create 5 separate Item Damage Bonus with correct damage value. Make sure you set the ability variable correctly at the Map Init trigger. I guess that's about it.

(The bolded phrase being the most important, judging from your description.)

Bump! (I think I'm allowed to bump now? My clock is telling me it's 24hrs since the last post, if not I'm sorry)

 

[vypur85]

Uh. The problem is as I've mentioned... (Read the bolded text from previous post)

You did not create 5 Item Damage Bonus abilities and set them to appropriate damage values. After that, define the abilities in the Map Initialisation trigger (ie Set Abi_DamageSys_Damage[1] = Item Damage Bonus 1, Set Abi_DamageSys_Damage[2] = Item Damage Bonus 2.... etc).

Read the 'How to implement' in the Set Damage thread. For reference, check out the demo map. You should be on the right track.

And now I feel retarded...

Thanks!
