anyone good in arithmetic?

[MissKerrigan]

Hello,

I made a trigger that sets the unit property (Live + Maximum Live) of units when they are spawned, but I think the computer isn't all fair to me:

(For this example, the Hitpoint Integer is set to 12)


Unit - Set (Triggering unit) Maximum Life to Hitpoint Integer * 3 / 4


Now, for some reason my units are dying when spawned like they had 0 or less hitpoints
Am I doing something wrong here?

The only reason that could happen is if Hitpoint Integer is 0 or negative. How do you set the Hitpoint Integer to 12?

 

[MissKerrigan]

well actually I start the integer with 1 and add it 1 each round, but something goes wrong in round 12

Round 12 is a level where creeps moving faster so I am trying to give them 75% of hitpoints

(I don't want to create a behavior which reduce 25% damage, because it will all messy then)

Simply set the units life to "Current life * 0.75".

 

[MissKerrigan]

wont work, because of the next reasons:


1. can't set integers to 0.75

2. there is no such option as 'current life' I could found

3. I even can't use current life because the unit is coming more times in the game


(all units are 1 hp in the data editor and set to an arithmetic number when they spawned)

 

[X-maul]

1.
Unit life is a real.
2.
Yes there is, it's called a unit property.
3.
Do you mean that the same unit is coming back?

Check this action:

     Unit - Set (Picked unit) Life (Percent) to 75.0

If I understood you right, you want the unit to have 75% hp, this will do the trick.

 

[MissKerrigan]

1. ?

2. unit property, then click on 'function'?

3. No, it's not coming back, but the same unit type is spawned again

(1 round takes 30 levels of creeps, after this the 30 rounds coming again)



if you are wondering about which map I'm talking about, you can see 'Garden Defense'

(it's changed ALL way)

X-maul's action will work. Use the action called "Set Unit Property". Set the property to "Life (Percent)" and the value to 75.0.

Even if they all have different health, this action will still set their life to 75%.

Won't that change the units current life to 75% instead of setting the units maximum life to 75% of its original value?

 

[MissKerrigan]

actually I having only problems with the wave which is 14 hitpoints, can't get 75% of 14 hitpoints...

 

[Dave312]

It sounds like the you have a bug somewhere else in your triggers and it just happens that when your hitpoints equals 14, you see the result of the bug. Try displaying all your variables in your trigger when it happens to trace the source of the error.

 

[MissKerrigan]

already changed it


wave 7 = 14 hitpoints

wave 8 = 16 hitpoints



I changed wave 7 into wave 8, now it works, units having 12 hitpoints

 

[Siretu]

Won't that change the units current life to 75% instead of setting the units maximum life to 75% of its original value?

Well yeah. I realized that just when I was about to post. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to set max life to percentage.

To fix this, I think you can first set the current life (percentage) and then set the max life to the current life.

 

[MissKerrigan]

I set things the next:

integer starts with 1 and goes +1 every wave


I set hitpoints integer x4 but if a fast moving wave is coming, then the integer x3
I have also waves that moves slower which I set x5
