replaced unit dies immediately

[Nordmar]

When using an item, a hero gets replaced by another hero. There are hitpoint upgrades for the hero and when the upgraded hitpoints are twice as high as the heroes default hp, the replaced unit immediately dies when using the item.

Example:
Starter Hero, 100 HP, 0 Upgrades
then I upgrade 100 times the hitpoint upgrade so the hero has 200 HP. Now I use the item and the hero gets replaced and immediately dies. Why?
Both heroes use the hitpoint upgrade...i also tried to replace with different values (old units relative life, new units default, new units max life etc) nothing works

i think i discovered a new bug :S

been discovered long ago, unfixable. you have to use simple bonus life abilities OR make sure bonus upgrade life will never overcome base HP

hm but the problem with bonus life abilities is that they dont stack..and I dont want to use tomes.

Actually they can stack up, if you use a little trickery:

If you want to add x maximum health, you would need the "item life bonus" ability with 2 levels, level 1 = x health, level 2 = 0 health.

Simple add this ability to the desired unit/hero, level it up and remove it. The bonus of its level 1 value remains permanently and you can stack the same ability over and over.

Very easy template how to increase hp mp of any unit from -999999 to 999999

 

[Nordmar]

thanks but I found a better and much easier way!! I found a fix to the above mentioned bug!

Give the hero a max hp of 9999999 (just make sure this value can never be crossed), then give the player a hitpoint upgrade which decreases the hitpoints by X so your hero will have the desired base hitpoints. Then you can use the upgrade which gives hp..completely normal..replacing the unit wont kill anything then.

Id still suggest using BonusMod (or SetMaxLife/Mana snippet), if your health/mana values are reaching really high numbers, you probably need slightly higher leveled ones than the default systems provide, but that should be easy.
