The change maximum life function in World Editor Unlimited has been great!

However the maximum health I am able to add is 4095 at one time

I have read the coding and understand that this is because it is adding abilities which change health (bit values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 up to the 11th spell of 2048) and starts a loop that begins at the 11th spell and descends through the rest others untill all the health has been added.)

Thus the maximum health increase is 2048+1028+... +1 = 4095


I see the function appears to do something to rectify this by returning a false boolean value for the function, but thats as far as it goes I think




So I tried to edit the coding to loop the function that adds the abilities untill the increase amount is less than 4095:

function ChangeLife takes unit U, boolean Increase, integer Zahl returns nothing
local integer i = 1
if not Increase then
set Zahl = 0 - Zahl
endif
loop
exitwhen (Zahl > 4095)
set Zahl = (Zahl - (GetBonus(U, 2)))
call AddBonus(Zahl,U,2)
endloop
endfunction


WE syntax checker unleashes a large amount of errors on me that dont seem to be relevant

But the syntax thing in JassNewgen says "set Zahl = (Zahl - (GetBonus(U, 2)))" is bad types for the binary operator


So what am i be doing wrong??!

It's a bit more complex than just a Jass function, ChangeLife uses abilities to alter a unit's life so you'd need to create a couple more (4092, 8192) in the object editor.
I'd recommend that you use AceHart's Manual of Mana instead, it seems easy to alter.

Yeah I know it adds abilities to do its job. call AddBonus is a custom function which uses 3 other functions to add the appropriate abilities to the unit


But because of the way it is structured if I were to add another spell i would have no where to put it as the next ability variable in the array is the first one for changing mana.

I could do it if I reworked the ability variables to give space for new ones, or started a new ability variable array list


But if looping it works then it would make my life easier as I could go as high as I wanted (for tower defenses this is important)





But thanks for the comment and I'll check out this manabook thing

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
