Item Ability Help

[Stupidmouse]

Im tring to make an ability that activates when you have low hp like under 250 or 25% something like that. I want the ability to give the unit an extra 5 armor then take it away when he goes above that 250 or 25% hp line. I realize it will probably have to use triggers but im unsure exactly how to do it. Anyone try something like this before?

If you want this to be done with items, you need 2 items, one that do nothing and one that gives the 5 armor bonus.
Event
A unit uses an item.
Condition
Item being manipulated is equel to "The do nothing item"
Actions
If, then, else
If
Life of triggering unit is less than 250/25%
Then
Remove "The Do Nothing Item" from triggering unit"
Add "The real Item" to triggering unit
Else
Remove "The real item" from triggering unit
Add "The do nothing item" to triggering unit

You could also get the invetory spot where the real and do nothing items are placed, but that takes some more work. Notice that the Condition is a Item-type comparision, and the if is a Real comparision

Thats not what i want really, sorry if i was unclear before. I want the item to basically to autocast when hp is low. After playing around a bit more i think that its not possible to do with the normal TFT editor. But with WEU there are a couple triggers that look promising. Im still working on it though in case anyone has any hints.

YAY I think someone read the FAQ!

What you are asking is quite tough, that is about all I can say for now.

Problem Solved

Basically what the unregistered guest said was right except for the event. You need 2 items to make it work right. i used copy of the itemarmorbonus ability. To make this work for your map:

BTW this trigger activates an item ability when your hitpoints are low.

Else - Actions
Do nothing

Playersherounit is a unit varible array in my map that stores the hero for each player. First condition is only there to make sure that the unit attacked is a hero since lots of units get attacked on a map. You probably can get away with not having this condition since other units cant carry items. Then you need to reverse (shown below) this when hp goes above 25% of max. Now the Protection will only deactivate when unit is attacked if you just reverse this trigger, for me that is ok because extra armor when your not being attacked is ok, but you can add a couple events like item used equal to heath potion or when a healing ability is used. THen you can have it check hp and shut off when you want it to.
