Looking for a unit state system

envenger · May 15, 2013

I am looking for a system that can change the attack speed and armor for units. There were some systems before but I can't find it now anymore.

A Windows 7 patch w/e broke Lua

But they are here

As those scripts absolutely require Lua, they were graveyarded.

Lua still works on Windows XP and older.

Then i guess I can't use them.. Are there systems like that in other sites?

All unit state systems use Lua

Then any easy way to change attack speed and armor of units using trigger?

Nestharus · May 15, 2013

impossible

if its a hero u can raise there stats. to give them more armor / attack speeds.

Any item ability i can add or remove?

Nestharus · May 15, 2013

yea, but that's where the Lua comes in

Without lua not possible? In any way? Like abilities with binary series buffs and giving them to units?

But it increases there agility which I don't want.

You can cnp the 115 or so abilities into your map and then map each one to a constant and hope that you didn't fudge up somewhere, sure.

I guess if i use binary series it wont be that big.

more like 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 only 9 of these reach up to 511

That is more than enough bonus i want. Then what will be the problem? They wont stack?

Nestharus · May 15, 2013

They'll stack yea, the unit state systems do exactly that though

Zeatherann · May 15, 2013

LUA is just ran at jngp save time right?

Nestharus · May 15, 2013

Yea

It's also Lua, not LUA

So making a pre-made list of how of these binary numbers add up to a certain number be easier or making a trigger?

Like if we need 150 bonus, It will check which binary number is lower than it. Store it in an variable e.g. 128 then subtract it. 150 - 128 = 22

Then it will check which is the next binary number less than it. i.e 16.
22-16 = 6 And it will store 16 in another variable

then it will store 4 and 2.

Later the trigger will add the bonus needed for the attack speed bonus to the target. i.e. 128,16,4 and 2 in this case.

The trigger will need 9 local variables highest to store from 0-400 attack speed.

Is this possible to do?

Nes, don't directly say it's impossible, you're portraying a bad image the "other solutions" you know ?
Check this system: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums...em-v1-2-gui-218590/?prev=status=r2&u=defskull
But yeah as Nes said it, you gotta cnp those abilities into your Object Editor OR if you haven't started a project yet, you can merge them all by using File -> Export Ability Settings....
Export it to anywhere (perhaps Desktop directory), then open your map and import the earlier exported data.

Don't worry about the "Needs Fix" title, it doesn't even affect the performance of the system, just a minor modifications.
And yes, it's bug-free

There is only one solution, and the thing you linked uses the same exact solution as the two I linked.
