Berserk resets mana to zero

[ZiBitheWand3r3r]

Human Priest has "Berserk" (instead of Heal)
When Priest cast "Berserk" he benefits from disabled spell book with ability "Item Life Regeneration" inside.

If regular Priest upgrade "Priest Adept Training" 'Rhpt' is made 2 times (unlocks "Dispel Magic" and "Inner Fire") then cast "Berserk" will cause to Priest lose all mana (drops to zero).
What is going on???

It does not happen, if you use the default spell book abilities. You can use item life regeneration wihtout spell book though, because it is hidden.
I have no idea how this is connected to the upgrade though. Makes no sense for me.

Yeah, for me also, this is magic..
I know Item Life Regen is hidden thats not the point, cause in original map spell book contains more abilities. thanks for lookin anyway

Man, I don't even know how to start typing this message. I'm speechless and can't comprehend why this bug happens this way... It seems the problem lies on the Mana Point Bonus from Priest Training upgrade, and also a spell book with any ability added to it (an empty spell book won't do anything). I've started messing around with the upgrade's base and increment fields, and depending on the numbers you assign to them, your priest gets his current mana points set to a different value as soon as a spell book is given to him. By default, base and increment fields are set to 100 mana points. If you set both to 99, when you add the spell book to a priest, he gets his current mp set to 199. Setting base value to 95 and 100 to increment, his current mp is set to 158.

The easiest way to fix that is storing the unit's current mp before adding a spell book, and restore it after you give a spell book to it.

Edit: typo

Looks like you're right.
If Priest's base mana pool is 200 - then as long as after upgrades max mana on Priest will be below 100% of base value (below 400) all works fine.

If max mana after upgrades will be equal to base value * 2 then bug reset mana to zero will appear.

If max mana after upgrades will rise above 2xbase value then diffrent bug appears: after adding spell book mana is immediately set to max!

Im also thinking about game version.. I'm still on 1.28.0.7205
btw whats your version BloodSoul ?

after next tests I found out that these bugs appear when adding spell book while unit has buff:

• mana shield
• immolation
• wind walk
• berserk
• roar

didnt test more, thats horrible..

 

[BloodSoul]

btw whats your version

1.27b (1.27.1.7085)

after next tests I found out that these bugs appear when adding spell book while unit has buff

Argh, I thought that terrible bug would only happen with mana point bonus. ):

EDIT: I tried to reproduce the same bug with those buffs you mentioned, but they're working as intended for me.

This bugs also affects life points. But starts affectings when the numbers are near 2x the initial value.

This is bizarre. It seems likely the unit's current mana is being updated much like as if the upgrade was researched (to give the same percentage of total mana), but buggy values are being used and it's resulting in floating point errors. Nice find.

 

[ZiBitheWand3r3r]

Thats also true.

If unit's base hp is 300, then if he gets by upgrade more or equal 300hp bonus, then adding spell book while he has buff (listed in my previous post) will kill the unit.

It seems likely the unit's current mana is being updated

I dont understand why it is udated if unit gets disabled spell book ability with passive spells inside? It does not cost mana. I barrely remember something like that related to Bonus Mod with MaxHP/MaxMana addon, where author told us to not using upgrades with this system. I didnt know it is so bizarre buged with life and mana values.

I don't know if it helps, but now that Blizzard has given us the "hidden icon position" of X:0/Y:-11, you may not even need to use a Spellbook anymore.

 

[ZiBitheWand3r3r]

Most obvious solutions sometimes are invisible Thanks for remanding mi of this 0/-11.
However bug described in this thread should be fixed by Blizzard.
