Base Armor Increase Ability

[The_Holy_Raider]

Okay, this should be simple. I'd like to create a passive ability that increases your armor. Kinda like devotion aura, but on a single unit. Problem is, I don't want the armor to be bonus. I want the extra armor to be given to the unit's base armor. Which means, if the ability gives 2 armor and the unit has 4 armor, in it's armor display I want it to say Armor: 6 and not Armor: 4+2. I think's it's possible since I've seen it at DotA as well (Dragon Knight's Dragon Blood). Thanks in advance. Oh by the way, I know this could somehow work using upgrades but I don't want the unit's armor to be upgradable (I don't want the icon that says 0, 1, 2 etc on the armor icon which says how many times the armor's been upgraded).

This library can apply bonuses like the ones listed.

Dragon's Blood does infact use an upgrade to add armour.

Setting the upgrade class to NONE fixes this.

Wow... that's a lot of... Jass
But either way, the bonus armor is applied as a +X.
I'll try Kino's idea now.

Ah, I am sorry, forgot it was a bonus, dumb me.

Okay what I did was:
unit learns ability, ability equal to X, create dummy that has can research Y, order it to research it.
Is there a better way to do it? It might sound stupid, but it annoys me that the minimum research time can be 0 but actually takes one second... as a result a second has to pass after learning the ability for the bonus to be applied... as for the "research complete" message and sound, I can just remove that through game interface right?

Use

• Player - Set the current research level of Bonus Armor (Upgrade) to (Level of Bonus Armor for (Triggering unit)) for (Triggering player)

(It's instant and does not require unit creation).

Ugh. Silly me, that was too simple.
Thanks a lot dude
