[Solved] Custom ARMOR

[alex1989]

Hello, please help me. Is there any way to convert all points (item - charges remaining) into the hero's armor? For example, when wearing an armor with 50 charges remaining, it will be 50 armor, but when you take it off, it will be deducted evenly from the number of charges remaining. Or is there any other way that the total item charges remaining in 6 boxes will all be counted as armor? When you lose 1 point of remaining charges, 1 armor will be deducted.

Well, you can make different types of body armor, set the charge level to 100, for example, and create an event: when you receive damage, one charge is deducted from the item.

There is no native way where item charges become armor.
You can modify armor via triggers, but that is IMO buggy and should be avoided.
A viable approach would be to use multiple "Item Armor Bonus" item abilities as these stack together.

• You should determine an upper limit for the bonus armor provided by your item with charges (i.e. each item can have up to 50 charges, you can have 6 such items... so 50*6 = 300 max charges = 300 armor bonus).
• Create a set of abilities based off "Item Armor Bonus" item ability. Each ability will have 10 levels
  • Each ability's level 1 will add 0 armor
  • for first ability, level 2+ will increase armor by 1s (so starting from level 1, it would increase as: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, up to 9)
  • for second ability, level 2+ will increase armor by 10s (i.e. 0, 10, 20, ...)
  • for third ability, level 2+ will increase armor by 100s (i.e. 0, 100, 200, ...)
• The sum of bonus armor from all three abilities at maximum level will be 9+90+900 => 999
• When unit acquires the item with charges, check if it already carries other such items. If not, then add to the unit all 3 armor abilities
• Similarly, when unit loses an item with charges, check if it carries other such items. If not, then remove all 3 armor abilities
• At some point (when acquiring the item with charges, when losing a charge, etc.) you will need to recalculate bonus armor:
  • sum all charges
  • divide that number by 100, then run a (modulo 10)+1 on the result => you get level for the "third" ability that increments armor by hundreds
  • divide that number by 10, then run a (modulo 10)+1 on the result => you get the level for the "second" ability that increments in tens
  • finally, run a (modulo 10)+1 on the result => you get the level for the "first" ability that increments armor by units

Example calculation:

• Sum of charges is 457, referred to as "total_charges"
• "third" ability: mod(total_charges / 100, 10) + 1 = mod(457 / 100, 10) + 1 = mod(4, 10) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
• "second" ability: mod(total_charges / 10, 10) + 1 = mod(457 / 10, 10) + 1 = mod(45, 10) + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6
• "first" ability: mod(total_charges, 10) + 1 = mod(457, 10) + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8
• note that each ability's level 1 increases armor by zero, so level 5 for "third" ability will actually increase armor by 400, not 500, etc.

Example triggers:
Item name is "Charged Armor". The three abilities will have an "Ability" suffix in the name.

Alex, which patch are you on? The solutions all vary depending on what you can and cannot do, which depends on whether you've updated your game or not. You need at least v1.31 to get access to most of the useful stuff.

Anyway, this appears to be what you're trying to do:

• Add Armor
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Charges remaining in (Item being manipulated)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set Armor of (Triggering unit) to ((Armor of (Triggering unit)) + (Real((Charges remaining in (Item being manipulated)))))

• Lose Armor
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Charges remaining in (Item being manipulated)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set Armor of (Triggering unit) to ((Armor of (Triggering unit)) - (Real((Charges remaining in (Item being manipulated)))))

Item Charges is an Integer but Armor is a Real so to use them together in a Arithmetic function you'll have to use the Convert Integer To Real function to turn Charges into a Real.

Note that if the Item Charges change while you have the item equipped you will have to run another trigger to subtract the previous amount of Charges and Add the new amount of Charges.

Can you help me? When a hero receives an item above level 1 that is a level 2 or 3 or 4 item, the level 1 item will drop out.

I'm sorry for making you misunderstand, in the hero's inventory there is a level 1 item, but when holding an item higher than level 1, the level 1 item will drop. I want level 1 items to be dropped when picking up items higher than level 1.

great, just what I wanted, thank you, can this be added: when there are 2 items of the same level in the hero's inventory, 1 will be dropped.

Try to understand what this trigger is doing and learn from that.

Also, this may have bugs, something about the logic doesn't sit well with me, but the demo map seems to work fine.

            • Item_Slot_Level Greater than 1
          • Then - Actions
            • Hero - Drop Item_Acquired from Item_Hero.
          • Else - Actions

Try to understand what this trigger is doing and learn from that.

Also, this may have bugs, something about the logic doesn't sit well with me, but the demo map seems to work fine.

Thank you I promise to try harder even though my poor understanding of English makes the job more difficult.
