1.how to make hp go down over time during game progress
Unit - real - set HP of unit
same for mana

3. make random items used for different tasks during game in random spots - hmm?
set a = item 1
set b = item 2
set c = item 3
set x = random integer 1-3 if c = 1 then create a at random position on playable map area

4. how to make items in your inventory (eg. island troll tribes inventory resource building)
Unit aquires a item
item = recipe
if unit has bacon in slot 1 and bread in slot 2
then remove bacon and bread and create sandwich
else nothing

BTW, I haven't heard anyone using the map builder expresion , people tend to say map makers or map creators.

Bah, you dudes can't think in more conventional ways :/

1. Object editor: Stats - Hit Point regeneration -1.0
2. Object editor: Stats - Mana regeneration -1.0

You add this to units you want to lose health. To be able to give negative numbers go to File->Preferences

I assume he wants to have degeneration at specific moments, not during the entire game.

 

[gameslayer001]

then just make a boolean and when he does want mana to go down set it to true and false if he doesnt.

turning on and off a trigger would avoid the periodic event from triggering when it doesn't need to, and would also negate the requirement for a useless global..

 

[skylergr3]

where do you find item = recipe thing? in triggers? and in actions? or events?

 

[Arusar]

maybe you should look the tutorial

 

[skylergr3]

any tips on LOAP maps? i need to know how the whole realestate thing with the realator and when you buy a house thing works out

For the health degeneration you can just set it in object editor. Hold shift while you select the value. And if you want them to lose hp at night (cuz its cold) then you can just set the hp regen to night only
