Some help with the Objectmerger

[dudeim]

Hey,

I read a tutorial about the object merger and saw that you can change values of a unit during game say I want to add 2 armor or whatever. I understood that this would go for every unit of that type, but now say I want to only change it for 1 unit. Ex.

I have a Unit A and a Unit B they are both of the same unit type.
Now I want to add 2 armor to Unit A using the objectmerger or another method (note that I don't want the green number I want the normal value)

How can I do it? I know it's possible just don't know how

Ps: It can also be damage instead of armor does not really matter for now.
Ps2: I think it's doable with the objectmerger can't think of any other way so not sure

Thanks!

The object merger can not be run off during the game, it's a low level tool.

I don't think you can modify armor without the green text showing up, but I could be wrong.

 

[Nestharus]

You can modify armor with upgrades (but will apply to all units). You can also modify armor with agility (heroes only).

You can also modify armor with abilities, but that'll show the green bonus text.

It's impossible to do it with ObjectMerger as that is used for *object generation* and *editing*. It's like going into the Object Editor and changing things w/ code rather than with the UI.

Aaah ok well I got the idea from YouTD maybe some of you know it, as in there you can change the basedmg (the whitetekst) of a tower with items or oils (which are kinda like potions that increase base dmg for example).
So this is how I know it's possible.
Btw isn't there something like a tome of dmg that increases the base damage of a unit (if there is I might be able to generate the item with object merger and edit it every time I need to or something like it)

A custom combat system would work.

I believe YouTD did it with researches, but that's my speculation.

There is a tome that increases the damage of a unit. It increases the base damage, so it won't show up the green +bonus text.

Do you know the name of the tome as I can't find it.
@Risen
If YouTD did it with research it would apply for all units of a type and it does not do that you can have 100 towers of the same unit type and still they can have diffrent base dmg.

Edit:
Ok I found the ability (it's an active ability) that increases base damage now how can I efficiently apply it to a unit?
It shouldn't matter how much damage I want to increase it can go from 1 to 10000. Is there a way without creating the objects? Can I change the abilitie's value during gameplay?

> Do you know the name of the tome as I can't find it.

it's Item Permanent Damage Gain (AIaa)

I have to note you that: this damage gain does NOT work on illusion.
Say you have a unit with damage: 10 - 20 and get 50 damage gain (from the above ability) so its damage is now 60 - 70 BUT its illusion will only have 10 - 20

 

[dudeim]

Aye found the abilty but know need to know how to add it efficiently from a range -x to +x

Come on doesn't anyone know a good way of doing this?

 

[emjlr3]

ideally using a method akin to the bonus mod

Well those are all pasive bonuses if i'm right, this is an active spell so does it just work the same way only let the unit cast the spell or something?

What do you mean passive? It would work fine.

 

[dudeim]

Healt/mana etc.. bonus is passive you add it and you get the bonus the normal damage bonus (the white text) is an active ability and then the bonus is added.
