Hero HP Problem/Glitch

[Pritrostell]

SOLVED

In the code for the cinematic, I had set the letterbox to turn off without fade (instant). Doing this bugged it so that the display at the bottom would only update when forced to (IE changing selections or opening menus). Changing the fade out to 1.00 seconds fixed it.


Hey all, I am making a "test" rpg mini-map just to see what I can do. I am following a tutorial atm so it might look familiar, and I will post it later when it is finished for feedback.

Anyways, whenever i attack something with my hero, the creeps health goes down normally but my hero doesn't lose health until AFTER the creep is killed. Once it dies, i lose a large sum of health, presumably the total from the fight.

I noticed that if i fight alot of things at once and take alot of damage, it goes down about once every 2 seconds or so.

Any ideas on the problem and/or fix? Help appreciated +rep

EDIT:

I just noticed that if i de-select my hero during a fight, then re-select him, it corrects the hp from the damage before selection. I have a trigger selecting the hero after creation automatically for the player, could this be affecting it?. Also will post all triggers, only 2 anyways...

Neither of these triggers do what you described.

i know, i figured i'd post them just incase i'd done something wrong... which leaves the problem of my glitchy hp

I've never had this happen before despite the several amounts of custom units and maps i've made and messed around with. It's quite irritating to have 600hp for a 6 second fight, then all of a sudden the creep dies and you're left with only 480 hp out of no where (made up amount, not that it matters)

any ideas?

Bump and update

I've just noticed that it's not just my hero that does this...

If i engage a creep in battle, and then select the creep, their hp bar above their heads goes down but the numbers underneath their picture do not.

Apparently i'm having a selection bug issue, has this ever happened to anyone before. If so, how did you fix it?
