Add to mana trigger

[SimonKurciski]

I am trying to do a very specific thing. I want to set up a trigger that, every 30 seconds, adds a certain amount of mana to to a building, and I want that ceratin amount to be determined by an integer variable. So, this would be a rough outline of what I want to avhieve:

EVENTS - Periodic event - Every 30 seconds

CONDITIONS - None

ACTIONS - Unit - Set mana of Research Center 0000 <gen> to ((Mana of Research Center 0000 <gen>) + Variable ManaPoints)

Ok, see that part that's bold? That's the part it won't let me do. The variable option is greyed out, and it says "no variables of this type available." Please help me, this is a very important bit for my map.

If your useing a interger variable, For the bold, find Conversion- Convert Interger to Real in the fucntions drop down, ill come up REAL((value of footman)), clock the value of footman and set it to your interger variable

Wait....what does it mean to clock the footman? And would it be possible, like this, to make the mana go up by a value that increased or decreased based on the integer?

Your variable would have to be a real, not an integer, which I assume you used. Reals are like numbers with decimal and that describes things like life, mana, and time. While integers are whole number which are used in hero level, stat attribute, ect.

oh, sorry, im not the best typer, i ment it to be click, and as far as yay saying it has to be real, thats why you convert it to a real
