Paladin
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes research
    Conditions
        (Researched tech-type) Equal to Paladin 
    Actions
        Unit - Replace Knight 0042 <gen> with a Paladin using The old unit's relative life and mana

The trigger itself works but here is the catch. Im learning variables and how could I make that the trigger replaces all the knights not the preplaced knight. I did a unit variable but how do I set that it is kngiht? Im noob.

 

[Mullit]

use a unit-type variable not a unit variable.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Ok, how do I set the Unit type as the wished unit?

Set variable = knight?

 

[Mullit]

you dont need a variable. do it like this

Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
    Conditions
        (Researched tech-type) Equal to Paladin
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Knight
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Paladin using The old unit's relative life and mana
                    Else - Actions

Problem 9:

Another spell. How do I create a spell which takes takes away 1 hit point for every 4 mana points used when casted on a unit instantaneously.

 

[Blackzabbith]

you could base it off of the drain life spell

 

[Chele]

you could base it off of the drain life spell

If I'm right what he meant was that the spell would take away all of your mana and then deal 1/4 of the mana spent to target unit. Am I right ? If so, make a trigger that'll check your remaining mana, divide it by 4 and then deal that damage to the target. I can help you with it if you want .

 

[Rabarber]

Actually, i think subtracting the mana left of the unt from the max mana of it and dividing it by four, and then dealing that damage to a unit would be a better way then just checking how much mana the unit has left, divide that into four and deal damage to the unit.
Just my way of looking at it.

 

[Blackzabbith]

actually what i meant was making a new ability off of life drain and you could then change these fields->

mana cost-4
data hitpoints drained-1
duration hero-1
duration normal-1

i think that should make it do what you want

edit-you change duration to 1 so it would be instaneous like you wanted a won't keep on draining

Spell
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability.
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to [COLOR=Red]Mana strike[/COLOR]
    Action
        Unit- Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) / 4.00) damage of attack type [COLOR=Red]Magic[/COLOR] and damage type [COLOR=Red]Magic[/COLOR]
        Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to 0.00

Red stuff can be changed, hope I've helped .

It would I guess but I think andrewgosu said he wanted it to happen immediately and that would only deal 1 hp and drain 4 mp every second right ?

i must of misunderstood what you said above...

if you didn't want that ^ then what did you want? :nuts:

i'm gonna try the ability out my self to see if it does take away 1 hp and drain 4 mana
istantaneously

 

[Andrewgosu]

Hmm, it seems that i cant locate the "/"(divide) sign after the mana of triggering unit.

Blackzabbit.

If I have 100 mana and I cast the spell, the target loses 25 health (100/4) and dont die because it has 60 hp.
But if I have 240 mana and I cast the spell, the target loses 60 health (240/4) and dies.

 

[Chele]

You have to use the Arithmetics function and change the "+" sign for "/".

I don't know what you did wrong up there ^
but i got mine to work buts its not as instant as you might wanted it to be.

just saying even thou you got the spell the way you wanted to

 

[Blackzabbith]

I thought I should make this cause I dont want to trouble you all with so many threads.[/OUOTE]

I think everyone should do this.

1.saves a lot of thread space if andrewgosu posted all his problems as a thread he would taken up half of first page..

2.if you had a new problem the went with a problem that was a long time ago
instead of searching for the thread that was posted decades ago it would already by in the one thread, easily found.

3.things would be a lot more organized

4. I'm gonna use "Andrew's" brilliant idea my self . If he doesn't mind

note @ Andrew- You should copywrite this idea before someone steals it

Problem 10:

Ranger
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes research
    Conditions
        (Researched tech-type) Equal to Ranger Training {Archer}
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Archer
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Ranger using The old unit's relative life and mana
                        Wait 0.10 seconds
                        Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + 10.00)
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing

Everything seems to be working but instead of giving the picked units +10 hp, it gives it about +20% of its current hp.

 

[Blackzabbith]

did you use set life percentage?

if you did use the set life value and add 10+ life to unit

example- unit orginal life 120
action-set life value 140

edit-set unit does not add life in the way you think it does it actual does exactly what it says .

example a unit has 150 hp
you use the action- set unit life to 10

unit now has only 10/150 hp left
hopes this helps

 

[Andrewgosu]

I didn't use set life percentage.

And i know how life percentages work, I finished the 8th grade you know

Hmm, the trigger itself seems to be buggy because im telling it to add + 10 hp if the unit is not at full health, but it gives 2-4 health.
