[Solved] Permanent (base) Armor Increase

I was playing some DotA recently, and wondering about DK's dragon-blood ability, where he permanently increases base armor

I know this could be re-created for a single by setting up a research item and its icons to just "appear" as if his base armor increased

But could a system be JASS-ed up to make one able to edit the base armor of any unit?

If there is already a system for it, please add the link

(Offtopic - If you know where a better version of SetUnitMaxState() is, a URL to that would be awesome too)

The only way i know is in GUI, but its just add unit ability. Like wen a unit learns an ability(something like endurance aura that gives you buff an a icon) than you edit the tooltips/icons. And when this ability is learnd just give an (item ability, armor) to learning unit, and for more levels just set the level of (item armor ability) to level of that based ability. This is how i would do it, but it would look like (ingame) 5+4 <--- how would look if i add a item ability with 4 bonus armor

Yeah that is the way I do not want to do it

I could always settle for the normal add ability and get the green item bonus, but I still want to know if there is a base armor changing system

hmmm. mby a some sort of upgrade?

That is what I had suggested at the top of the thread

"Research Item" was referring to a single configured upgrade, but that would be a pain to do for every unit in the game (to make it generic)

I think in dota, it is done with upgrades.

yes, we all know that its done with upgrades in dota, and he knows that, and that is not what he wants

he is asking if there is a way to make an upgrade work on individual units with JASS or a system that can add armor to a unit and not make the UI show +4 or how much he want the armor to be increased by

to my knowledge there is no such function in JASS, but my knowledge of JASS is somewhat average(counting those that actually know JASS)

I gues you will have to live with 5+4 :S :D

Now that I think about it I should probably PM PurplePoot, although hes not coming back from Spain for a while ><

Spiked Carapace

It gives you +5 D:

spiked carapace doesnt give +lulnub
it increases the armor

yeah it can be done with Spiked Carapace )
there is also a function in jass, but with it it will look +X

its not about jass
that system is based on adding +1 armor bonus to a unit many times
and since its an item ability you can add it multiple times
(it doesnt add +1 it adds like if you want +42 it adds 4 +10 and 2 +1 kinda)

Why don't you test it before you start with names...
