Why isn't this trigger working?

[Wardonis]

EVENT: Unit - A unit Finishes research
CONDITION: (Researched tech-type) Equal to Max mana

ACTION: Set maxmana = (Integer((((Max mana of Willy) x 0.02) + (Max mana of Willy))))
ACTION:Unit - Set mana of Willy to (Real(maxmana))



maxmana is an integer variable

all i'm trying to do is increase the max mana of the hero willy by 2% each time this research is used.

Nevermind, found the problem. "Set mana" is not "Set max mana"; it's "Set current mana". Let's say Willy starts with 100 mana. He does a research, and the trigger is called.

Willy: 100/100 MP
maxmana = (100 x .02) + 100 = 102
Set mana of Willy to Real(maxmana)
Willy: 102/100 MP, or just 100/100 MP.

See the problem?

Well, I'm assuming you have "A unit" specified as something? In my version of the editor at least, you can't just leave it as "A unit".

Second, because I'm picky, you can compact (Integer((((Max mana of Willy) x 0.02) + (Max mana of Willy)))) into (Integer((Max mana of Willy) x 1.02)

I know the action and condition work. I tested that part with a simple move action. Its the action i have up there that isn't working. Even condensed as you have i think it would behave the same

Thats what i believe the problem is with it myself. But i haven't found anything in there that lets me trigger change max mana of any char.

EDIT: I tried it out and this is exactly whats going on, i drained his mana and hit the upgrade button and its topping him off instead of pushing his max up like i want.

anyone know a way i could perm push a char's max mana multiple times?

If i could get the %max mana increase upgrade to work i wouldn't have to do any triggers. I know there is something in the upgrade section but i've tried using it and nothing happens. increasing armor, damage or adding abilities through it works but i can't push mana or mana regen with it like i want to.

If Willy is a hero, I believe you could raise the intelligence and do it that way. Of course, that would be a 25 MP increase, but that's the only thing I can think of besides using a trigger, which I haven't done before to alter maximum stats.

This thread ought to help.

If its a research then just make it increase the max mana of all units who benefit from it.

i tried that, nothing happens. even though all my other upgrades are working for him. if anyone has ever made use of that upgrad i'd appreciate a quick walk through on it, it should be working and its not so i must have missed something but i've gone over it like 20 times

also i don't wanna touch intel, i have tomes that random drop that boost stats

This thread ought to help.

thanks kaerf but i found that thread as well as a jass one and i had no idea what i was looking at or how to even begin implementing it.

Upgrading max mana is working perfectly fine for me.
Try to remake the upgrade.
