How to make a new upgrade?

[Chewii]

Hello all. How can i make a new upgrade that makes -armor?

I know it sounds weird but i need that. Thanks!

Hold shift and open the field in the upgrade? This will allow you to enter negative numbers. I dunno.

 

[Chewii]

I know that you can hold down shift in fields to get negative numbers.. But every upgrade has effect, the armor upgrade has the effect apply defense upgrade bonus. I've searched if i could find the effects in the Buff/Effects section. Nothing there. So how to do this ?

 

[Ramza]

That's because each unit has their own ''Combat - Defense Upgrade Bonus'' value. There you can set negative numbers.

You could use a global aura that gives '-armor' which is only active if the required upgrade is researched.

Thank you for the help.. but.. i want this when i pick up a item that gives +2 defense the defense will be added as a upgrade. And when i drop the item the upgrade will be removed.

I don't want all theese 2 defense +100 i don't like the + after ^^ It looks more nice with the other way. Can you do this in anyway?

Ty for the help!

Ah, okay, a item that gives you the armor not as that green value but as the white. i think this is only possible in the way Ramza mentioned. but i've got no experience with that value, sorry.
maybe you could modify the agility via trigger, the hero would get more armor (the white value), but also attack-speed and movement-speed will increase (depending on your gameplay constants)...

 

[Chewii]

ye its the only way as ramza said.. But i thought of you mb can make a trigger like when that items is being dropped by a unit he will get -2 armor and when he picks it up again he will get +2 with white.

You can't undo upgrades. Use Item Armor Bonus with negative effect instead.

 

[Chewii]

As i said i don't want with red text -2. I want it to change in the main thing where it stands with white text.

You can't undo upgrades. Use Item Armor Bonus with negative effect instead.

Unless you have a set (maybe 300000000 sets) of Upgrades
1 for Positive (for +armor) 1 for Negative (minus -armor)

 

[Garfield1337]

defskull,
True,but the index near armor value can't be decreased.

 

[Chewii]

The only way it can be decreased is the thing ramza said..
hold shift and change armor upgrade value on the unit.. But you can't make it both + and - .. soo anyone have any ideas ? ^^

why don't blizzard make triggers for Set Upgrade to level lol.. +__+..
i thought i seen some skill, that eats target's defense,

Well chewii, rather than using Upgrades, maybe use a 200 level devotion aura or something, lol, i think that works better, so people can see its base, and the + too, it can be made to stack too.

 

[Chewii]

But devotion aura is + with green text isn't it? I don't want it with green text ^^ But if there's no other way ofc i will use it then

But im asking just incase

 

[Adiktuz]

You cant edit it directly unless you use Ramza's method...

but if its okay if the bonus will show with the green color
example:
+1 , -1 etc.

you might want to check BonusMod though its in vJASS...


WAIT, an item which increases armor? why dont just give the item an ability based on the bonus armor ability (rather than devotion aura because devotion aura wont stack unless you create a new devotion aura + a new buff for every item)...

I made it diferent way! download it here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin_data/i9tq35/_files/test.w3x
I'm still newbie I can't create with unit loses a item so now It has a little leak I think you or someone else can easy fix it.

 

[Chewii]

Thank you but i can do that thing alone. And it wasn't the thing i needed. But thanks anyway

If you can't do this i'll do the other way i thought of ty everyone.

 

[Gekigengar]

have you tried Gylph of fortification with Upgrade level -1?
lol, i haven't tried one. give that item everytime the item is dropped xD
