Unit's life becomes less than x%

[Grimhorn]

Right now I'm trying to make a trigger that will spawn a unit when your hero reaches 50% hp, and I am having trouble getting the event part of the trigger to work properly. Since there isn't, or I'm blind, a straight percentage function I tried working around it. First I tried "Unit - Percentage Life" and made a unit, set him at 50% and tried out the trigger, but it didn't work.

The next thing I tried was a "Unit - Property" and then made a separate trigger that would adjust the hp of the targeted unit to correctly match 50% that of the heroes. That didn't work either.

I have tested it as just a flat number, and it works fine. So it must be when I try to set the value from another unit. Anyway here is the working part of the trigger with just a flat value set into it. Any help would be appreciated.

What you could probably do is create a Real variable, and when your hero takes damage, then set the variable to his maximum life. Then check if his current life is equal to or less than the variable, divided by two.

It would look something like this:

• Events
  • GDD_Event becomes equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • GDD_DamagedUnit equal to [your unit]
  • Actions
    • Set MaxLife = (maximum life of GDD_DamagedUnit)
    • If/Then/Else
      • If current life of GDD_DamagedUnit equal to or less than (MaxLife/2), Then do
        • Unit - Create [the unit you want to create]
      • Else

I did that freehand, so it might not be exact and I don't know if something like that would work, but it's worth a try.

Ahh, got it working, your idea of just having the heroes max hp/2 as a variable got me thinking, and just putting that in the event trigger made it work.
Thanks! =D
