Putting a Cap on Stats

[Scauldingpon]

i was wondering is there a way to Cap stats as in Agility, Strength, and Intellect through triggers or any other way?

I know you can just make it so no matter what via using items no unit can get above a certian number but i just wanted to know an faster way.

If 24 hours have passed, you were the last one to post, and your question has not been answered, you may bump your thread. But the 24 hour limit will be enforced, so be careful.

• Auto-check
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Strength of Footman 0000 <gen> (Include bonuses)) Greater than 50
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Modify Strength of Footman 0000 <gen>: Set to 50
      • Else - Actions

Of course if your hero is picking up items, you might have a problem with losing attributes when dropping them. You'll have to check with Unit picks up and item and drops an item, if you want it to be accurate.

funny thing is i just did that same trigger. also i know the rules just it was something that was stopping the progression of my map. got a bit inpatient.

Well to prevent Items from causing a problem.. you could run the same exact check, except the Event is (Unit acquires an Item)... and then make him drop it.

That is what i have. but you are correct with the items being picked up or being put down. and can i just put all the heroes into a unit group so i dont have to make one of these for each unit? AND! how can i revert the stats to go back once the items or stat falls below 255?(which is my stat cap)


Edit: IF i make it so that when the item is picked up it increases the stats via triggers. that way instead of using the item stat abilities it would make it easier but still will have the problem of when items are dropped but still a thought. anyone got an opinion?

there should be a event like " if unit pickup/buy an item"
change the event to that
and add the conditions
item is of typ book off agi or book of str
(Strength of triggering unit (Exclude bonuses)) Greater than (>) 255
and action:
set str off triggering unit to 255

The trigger should only run every few seconds, I'd say something like every 10 or so at the most. Other than that, it should run whenever the hero picks up an item, drops an item, or levels up. Basically when anything happens that could change his stats. Also, especially with items, you should keep track of the hero's "true" strength, so that if he has max strength, then picks up and drops an item that adds strength, he won't lose strength.

well atm there's 65 lvl and the closet any of them are to the max i want is 202. so i want it to be 225 with bonuses so that it wont get any higher. how can i do that. say i have 180 str and +80 from items. with out making the "true" str go to 255. how can i cap the temporary str adding past 255?

 

[Scauldingpon]

i thought this should get its own post. should i just make a variable that contains the over amount of bonus stat and just put a debuf on them to make it at 255? that could do it and have it just cycle every 10 seconds???

I think recycle is better. However,the best way is storing at the event. If you ur gamecache exceeds max value it can handle, ur warcraft will crash.

 

[Scauldingpon]

Well i got it to subtract the str over 255 but not how do i give it back when an item is dropped?

1st Trigger

• RealSTR
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set STRreal = (Strength of (Triggering unit) (Exclude bonuses))
    • Set AGIreal = (Agility of (Triggering unit) (Exclude bonuses))
    • Set INTreal = (Intelligence of (Triggering unit) (Exclude bonuses))

2nd

• STRcap
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Strength of Babarian 0001 <gen> (Include bonuses)) Greater than 255
      • Then - Actions
        • Set STRint = ((Strength of Babarian 0001 <gen> (Include bonuses)) - 255)
        • Hero - Modify Strength of Babarian 0001 <gen>: Subtract STRint
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

3rd

• STR Drop
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Strength of Babarian 0001 <gen> (Include bonuses)) Less than 255
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Modify Strength of Babarian 0001 <gen>: Set to STRreal
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

Now that this all works. thank goodness.. well for the most part. anyway to make this more perfect?

You all are kind of dumb Instead of Include Bonuses, just use Exclude Bonuses x.x

 

[Scauldingpon]

the thing is i dont want any of the stats with bonuses to go past 255.. thats why i have it included.

Anyways, now that i have all the triggers for each stat. when i drop an item say it gives str only it will not set my str back to the "real" str of the unit.. and so forth for the other stats. anyone know how to fix this? they are all based off the trigger i posted in my last post.

Should be enough

 

[Scauldingpon]

Yes cause your opinion helps me fix my problem..

 

[elmstfreddie]

Your triggers are fine, with the exception that they should run periodically, not when he gains/loses an item (just so it's more fluid).

Also, you should add a trigger that if he acquires an item (a tome), to modify the variables (that are set to his "real" str, agi, int, etc.)
