[Trigger] calculation fail

[Chaosy]

I am currently trying to create a spell but it fails slightly..

The following trigger should reduce the hp until it reaches 1 (aka not killing the unit) however it stays at 2 instead of 1.

• Set target_unit = (Picked unit)
• Set life = (Life of target_unit)
• Set max_life = (Max life of target_unit)
• Set calculation = (life - (max_life / 100.00))
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • calculation Less than 2.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Set life of target_unit to (life - (life - 1.00))
  • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Set life of target_unit to (life - (max_life / 100.00))

Why not just this

• Set target_unit = (Picked unit)
• Set life = (Life of target_unit)
• Set max_life = (Max life of target_unit)
• Set calculation = (life - (max_life / 100.00))
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • calculation Less than 2.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Set life of target_unit to 1
  • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Set life of target_unit to calculation

First to make it easier:

• Unit - Set life of target_unit to (life - (life - 1.00))

-->

• Unit - Set life of target_unit to 1

• Unit - Set life of target_unit to (life - (max_life / 100.00))

-->

• Unit - Set life of target_unit to calculation

Does the unit has a HP-regen rate?

Edit: Yo, Ceday

It's a loop, it's not supposed to go instantly to 1 hp.

edit: to clearity, I basically want to decreases the hp by 1% every x seconds but you can't die from it. And since it's a fast loop (0,03) and I haven't added a cd on the "damage" it can't be hp reg.

I don't see this related to our posts.

I think I get your point now... however it still doesn't work even with that change. I will disable hp reg to make sure will edit in a few seconds.

edit: ok so I disabled hp reg on my test units. The Archmage hp stays at 2 hp while the footmen goes down to 1. might it be like that because strength gives hp reg?

I think the STR stat does give bonus HP regen, unless you disable it from the gameplay constants.

 

[Ceday]

Instead of setting life to 1, you can set it to 0.500 so it will show as 1.That is probably the reason why it shows 2 so quickly instead of 1.

Set the comparison to 2.01 or something like this. Reals* are not as precise as you seem to think.

EDIT: Fixed

 

[IcemanBo]

Booleans are not as precise as you seem to think.

Boolean is true, or it is false.

 

[Xonok]

Oops, I meant reals.

Ceday is right, hp is rounded up. Remember that widget life is represented via real, even tho in-game it is shown as an integer.

• Set target_unit = (Picked unit)
• Set life = (Life of target_unit)
• Set max_life = (Max life of target_unit)
• Set calculation = (life - (max_life / 100.00))
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • calculation Greater than 0.50
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Set life of target_unit to calculation
  • Else - Actions

Btw, "set unit life" is rather "true damage" rather than actuall "damage". True damage ignores any resistances and armor values.

That regen issue.

a. Yes, Str Regen.
b. The hero hp/mana regen in OE is only followed after the first revive. (tested)

what?

 

[Vinz]

It works like normal. I don't know if default. But the custom regen you put on heroes is only followed after the first revive of the hero.

 

[Ceday]

I just tested and you are wrong, or I misunderstand you.

 

[Vinz]

Weird. I put mana regen to 0, and I set Int that it doesn't give mana regen. The mana regenerated like normal, and only truly became 0 after the first revive.

 

[Ceday]

I tried with hp regen and set it to 50, maybe your case is different.

Edit: I put a bloodmage to an empty map, set int mana regen to 0, set hero mana regen to 0 and casted a flamestrike.He isn't regenerating mana now.Can you test again?

True, but the "true damage" isn't caused by anyone (there is no killing unit). Sadly blizzard didn't make a function to damage units ignoring armor and resistance abilities...
