Regen value at run time

[PsychoPif]

I would like to set a variable to the hero hp and/or mana current regeneration rate.

I've found a way to get the movement speed but not the regen.

I guess I could compute it from the hero current str/int, but then I would need the check for each buff avaible in the game and add it to the str/int bonus if the hero is under that spell.... That would be a real pain.

Anyone got an idea or answer ?

Your best bet would be to calculate it. Could you let us know why and maybe we can find an alternative solution? You could try pausing the unit and using a timer and equation... but it would rarely come out right (At least not as a real... maybe a .5 but doubtful)

It's only to provide more information to the players, so I don't need the precise amount.

What about something like this? Compleatly untested so it may be wrong...


Variables:
Hero is a unit array that hold each layer hero
DeltaD is a rear variable
Rest is real arrays

    Events
        Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time

                        Set NewVaule[(Integer A)] = (Mana of Hero[(Integer A)])
                        Set DeltaR = (NewVaule[(Integer A)] - OldVaule[(Integer A)])
                        // The difference beetwen the old mana vaule and the new, ie mana gain over 5 sec.
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

                                DeltaR Less than 50.00
                                // If it is less than 0 he has used an ability, if it is greater that 50 (or a vaule the fits your map) he has used a mana poition.
                                // A better soulution whould be detect each time he uses a spell and set a variable to false, inside the else set that variable to true and use that variable as condition
                            Then - Actions
                                Set Regain[(Integer A)] = (DeltaR / 5.00)
                                // This is the mana/sec regneration
                            Else - Actions
                               // If the vaule is out of range we cannot use it insteed we use the old vaule
                    Else - Actions

This is a good start thanks, I'll see what I can come up with this and I'll get back at you.

The information qill be requested by the player so I don't have to run the trigger all the time.

Here's what I got. It's working, but as expected, it's not precise or at least not enough to base any effect on it.

            If - Conditions

            Then - Actions

                Game - Display to (All players matching ((Color of (Matching player)) Equal to (Color of (Triggering player)))) the text: Calculating health ...
                Set HPBeforeRegen = (Life of Heroes[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
                Wait 3.00 seconds
                Set HPAfterRegen = (Life of Heroes[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
                Game - Display to (All players matching ((Color of (Matching player)) Equal to (Color of (Triggering player)))) the text: (Your hero hp regeneration rate is  + (String(((HPAfterRegen - HPBeforeRegen) / 3.00))))

                Game - Display to (All players matching ((Color of (Matching player)) Equal to (Color of (Triggering player)))) the text: You have no hero at...

For the time being, it will be enough as a system message, but I have an idea about a skill that turn the target hero regeneration rate into a DOT. The more the rate will be, the more damage the hero will take. Since it will probably be used at the same time as other damages, I cannot do that kind of calculation. If you or anyone has an idea how to do this, it would be nice.

Thanks for the help.
