Adding Skill points at begging of game

[Kunfury]

Im trying to make it in my map where certain NPC's get 250* their level of strength and agility. anyone have a trigger that would do this?

Something like this?

• Tr
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Picked unit): Add (250 x (Strength of (Picked unit) (Include bonuses))) points

This is what you mean by Skill Points, right?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes, with triggers where you do some simple maths and multiply their hero level by 250. You then set their hero stats of strength and agility to that computed value.

You will probably want to run this when you spawn the units, so eithor on map initialization or directly after they get created/trained/built.

250 @.@ that's A LOT

=Offtopic=
A lot of people was confused about this Triggers & Scripts and This Helping Board. XD. Even I got the wrong idea.

=Ontopic=
I wonder what abilities who he use... 50 levels per ability??? Now that's a lot. Then add the multiplyer.

Is that confusing even a little? Seems quite straight-forward.

And on Triggers & Scripts:

If you think this is confusing, let me know what needs to be cleared up and I'll request that the notes be changed.

This trigger would do the trick if the units are on the map at game start:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add <selected unit> to NPC_Group
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is in NPC_Group) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Modify Strength of (Picked unit): Add (250 x (Hero level of (Picked unit)))

You need a unit group action like the one above for each NPC on the map so they're all added to the NPC group before the pick action.

Got it?

no i want it to ADD strength... Ok let me put it this way, i have a level 85 npc under browns (computer) control. At the very start of the game i want it to add 85*250 strength and agility

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just make a trigger that does exactly what you said?

Set unit strength to 250 * getherolevel
Set unit agility to 250 * getherolevel

There are natives to both get the level of a hero and to set the strength and agility and intelligence of a hero to any value. You can even use natives to get what value of strength or agility or intelligence a hero has with or without bonuses (green +X)

 

[Kunfury]

what are natives?

 

[Dr Super Good]

The function declerations which jass (WC3's scripting language) uses to interface with the game engine.

GUI interacts with these natives through the use of "BJ" functions (somtimes "swapped" but mostly BJ) which a lot of them do nothing more than swap the argument order of a native.

I think this is what your asking for, please tell me if it works.

 

[SanKakU]

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the solution simpler than making a trigger for it? edit strength per level and agility per level for the hero in the object editor. change the number to 250. done.

 

[sentrywiz]

Just add strength under Hero Triggers. No need for jass

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just add strength under Hero Triggers. No need for jass

That is contradictory, as GUI compiles to JASS when you save the map thus it still needs jass.

I edited it a little but it worked! this is my finished trigger.

[Dr Super Good]

It leaks a group of all units in the playable map area.

 

[Kunfury]

mine or his or both or what do you mean?

 

[haxel96]

both,
In the beginning of the trigger, before the FIRST action, add a custom script:

set wantDestroyGroup = true

 

[Kunfury]

what would that do? Sorry but i do not understand scripting

 

[haxel96]

That will remove the leak, just do it or else the game will start lagging or crash if u got lots of leaks.

 

[Kunfury]

when i save it it says Expected a variable name? What does that mean and how do i fix it?

This is the fixed trigger of yours:

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 12 (Brown)
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Add ((Hero level of (Picked unit)) x 250)
        • Hero - Modify Strength of (Picked unit): Add ((Hero level of (Picked unit)) x 250)
      • Else - Actions

1. Add the "set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true" for cleaning Unit Group leaks
2. Remove the "Do nothing" action because it practically does nothing, so why should you add ?
It will lessen your trigger performance

 

[Kunfury]

I had gotten that exact thing a while back but forgot to remove the do nothing action. ty though
