Notes:
Thought I might as well upload it in one place instead of having it uploaded five different times.

Yeah can you post the code
>.<

 

[Tom Jones]

Knew I forgot something.

Mind telling us what's really good about it?

For example:

This system is good for easily manipulating <Fill in text here> and is simpler then <Fill in text here>.

You get the idea

No I don't. Seems rather pointless, since it's already described in the thread title. And I never, by principle, compare any of my work with anybody else's work.

I think I can make an ability that add max life or max mana by percent <= this is good

Maybe instead of:

GUI/JASS: This one is GUI, a JASS version can be found at wc3campaigns by BladeDK

GUI/JASS: This one is GUI, a JASS version can be found at wc3jass by BladeDK

I think the link would be helpful for people looking for a Jass version.

 

[Quauhtli]

I didn't know moderators used GUI

And I agree with Anman, I don't really see what this is supposed to do. (Perhaps if some day I actually am not lazy and look at the triggers)
Set unit maximum hp and mana, does it reset the original hp and replace it with a new value? Like a footman normaly has like 120 hp and you reset it with the trigger which makes the footman now have 250 hp?

I like the idea of this, I'll probably use it to give like a non item power up for the heroes in my campaign when they do an optional quest

 

[Somatic]

Its useful, espically in zombie survival maps where you can randomise the HP of the zombies, increasing and decreasing by a certain mark such that it really make all zombies look different and unique. Nice work Jones =)

 

[Sil3nt]

This is pretty useful instead of setting a heroes hp which could conflict with leveling up stats or obtaining items (which is what i wouldve done cause im so dumb to think of something like this) and its in gui which makes noobs like me understand it =D

 

[Sim]

Approved.

 

[misterurafag]

how did you get the negitive values on your abilities? and i tried to use your method but my unit just dies heres what i put down

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Unit_Health Equal to 3
    Then - Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to Unit_Health_1, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Add Item Life Bonus (Greater) to (Triggering unit)
                Unit - Set level of Item Life Bonus (Greater) for (Triggering unit) to 4
                Unit - Remove Item Life Bonus (Greater) from (Triggering unit)
    Else - Actions
        Do nothing

what did i do wrong?

From level 2: negative values will increase life/mana and positive values will decrease life/mana
Hold Shift and press Enter or Double Click to get negative value

 

[misterurafag]

ok i did that and edited my trigger a little so it looks like

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Unit_Health Equal to (7 / 2)
    Then - Actions
        Set Unit_Health_1 = (Unit_Health_1 x Unit_Health)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to Unit_Health_1, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Add Item Life Bonus (Greater) to (Triggering unit)
                Unit - Set level of Item Life Bonus (Greater) for (Triggering unit) to 3
                Unit - Remove Item Life Bonus (Greater) from (Triggering unit)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Custom value of (Triggering unit)), do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Add Item Life Bonus (Greater) to (Triggering unit)
                Unit - Set level of Item Life Bonus (Greater) for (Triggering unit) to 2
                Unit - Remove Item Life Bonus (Greater) from (Triggering unit)
    Else - Actions
        Do nothing

and when i ran it the health of the unit was originaly 150 and when it comes out it has 1650 health when i want it to have 550 health also it lags a little when it happens is there anyway yo stop this?
where
Unit_Health_1 = units health (at first)
(Custom value of (Triggering unit)) = units health
level of the abilites are
1 = 0
2 = 1
3 = -1

 

[Tom_Kazansky]

>when i ran it the health of the unit was originaly 150 and when it comes out it has 1650 health
I see you have add/remove 1500 times, no doubt you got lag
>i want it to have 550 health
Check the Unit_Health_1 and the Custom Value of (Trigger Unit), you give Unit_Health_1 HP to Trigger Unit and take away Custom Value of (Trigger Unit) HP from it.
>stop the lag
You should make this ability with more levels, I recommend 9 levels:

 1 = 0
 2 = -1
 3 = -10
 4 = -100
 5 = -1000
 6 = 1
 7 = 10
 8 = 100
 9 = 1000

So, if you want to increases 1500 HP, you only need to add/remove: 1 times level 5 and 5 times level 4 => 6 times add/remove in total => it should less lag than 1500 times :thup:

First off, great trigger, does exactly what I've been looking for. Except one thing. I noticed when the trigger gets called in game the game lags just a little bit, maybe a half second; I'm making like a Hero Defense type of map, and the trigger gets call at the start of each level, so the lag definitely noticeable. If I had to guess at the reason why, it'd be the way I have it set up. It changes the health of created units in a region based on how many people are playing, (kind of like a built in difficulty setter) running the trigger for every mob created, and it gets hung up on that. So I guess I'm wondering if its possible to get this trigger working so it changes the max hp of a unit-type, that way it can be applied before creating the creeps (in a template sort of way), therefore running the trigger once instead of x amount of times. And I'm hoping for a GUI solution, as I dont think I'm commited enough for JASS quite yet. Hope my question makes sense, sorry for the long post. Thanks.

EDIT: Woops, didn't realize how old this is, I was still thinking its 2008 yet when I saw the first posts, so I thought it was recent ><
Either way, if anyone can help me out, would be cool. Thanks.

 

[IDF_ALLAH]

Does this work in Percentage as in like a 0.95xhp or like 1.2xhp? or only add/subtract?

 

[M4573R]

I'm using this same method to set damage and health for a unit. Why does it not do anything? Is there some catch I don't know that makes these triggers fail?

I have an ability based off of Item Permanent Damage Increase. I add it to a unit, set the level, then remove it. It doesn't change the damage of the unit at all. Same goes for health.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

It doesn't work because this method is based off a bug to start with. That bug only applies to max life, max mana and I think it may apply to unit sight range. Go use Bonus instead for other stuff, or something.

 

[M4573R]

Is there something I can do completely within world editor? (no addons)
