Best SetUnitMaxState type system right now?

[HappyTauren]

Alright guys, I used this system a long time ago, like more than 5 years ago, and I know there's been a ton of new stuff, anybody can tell me what's the most usable thing now?

BonusMod gotta be the first one that comes to mind and thus the most common one.

Nest tried to make his version but I don't think it was appealing to the general crowd. It's highly possible that it's better performance wise though.

edit:

Ap0colypse sent me a GUI version which I assume he made himself, this was a few years back but I still have it. Hardly the best one performance wise since it's GUI but if you prefer GUI I can send it to you.

Should've said vJass only.

Okay, I'll go for bonus mod for now.

BonusMod is submitted on wc3.net, what is in the graveyard is not the actual version.

graveyarded version can be fixed according to 3rd or 4th comment

The version on wc3c is still working though, right?

The one by earthen fury (or something like that) has got two flaws which I must mention.
1. The main function (the one that does the work) and the redirecting function (the one that redirects to the main function as a wrapper for easy usage) are flipped.
The systems method is to increase/decrease he or mp.
However, the main function seems to be "SetUnitMaxState ()"
2. When you are changing a lot of hp/mp, the system will either crash or come to the op limit because the abilities that are used do not get to high enough.

Iirc, he did create the abilities with the preprocessor functions, but if not, that wouldoesn't also be a must.

Nestharus' one will probably be the best performance wise cause he uses based numbers.
But apart from that, changing the one in BonusMod by the two changes above would do fine.

Dat-C3 came up with a pretty cool method if you only need to set max hit points:

function SetUnitMaxLife takes unit u, real newLife returns nothing
    local player p = GetOwningPlayer(u)
    call SetUnitOwner(u, Player(14), false)
    call SetPlayerHandicap(Player(14), GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_MAX_LIFE) / newLife)
    call SetUnitOwner(u, p, false)
    call SetPlayerHandicap(Player(14), 1)
endfunction

Player 14 is Neutral extra. But it is usually nice to have the other features of BonusMod, so I just end up using that instead. I just figured I'd throw this out there as an option.

If you just need the max life and mana, you can use UnitMaxState without the full BonusMod.

In the end though, I just might end up modding SetUnitMaxState for my own needs.
