[vJASS][System] Unit Properties

[vercas]

Oh my god... This is one step from being awesome!

Does it show like
"Min - Max + Bonus"
The damage?
It's all I care about.
(I can't test it here!)

This is excellent work. I'm going to approve this. It's deserved approval for quite a while.

What would be a list of steps to use this in a map? I have:

1. Saved the LUA file in map directory
2. Put the code in a blank text trigger
3. Uncommented object merger line
4. Saved successfully, including object merger
5. Commented out object merger line
6. Made a function to put a unit in the system:

call CreateUnitProperties(hero)  //hero being a unit variable holding a hero

7. Tried modifying the units properties:

call UnitModifyArmor(hero, 100)

But this does not work, perhaps I am missing something simple?

Remember to check that you have all those bonus abilities in object editor, that the lua script actually worked.

You can also add some temporary call BJDebugMsg( " word " ) -calls to the system code to find out where the code stops running, if it stops running.

Ah, I was unaware that it would actually put the abilities in the ability editor. Thought it just kinda put it in the map file. In that case, no, the LUA does not import abilities. This is also the case with the other system I tried. I am using newgen, but is there something else i need to enable for the LUA to work?

Thanks

Uncomment the lines so you have to save, but don't save. Close the map and click yes to save, after that load it again and you should see the abilities in the OE.

thanks, that worked :)
