Change hero defense to depend on str

[meatfactory]

Is there a way to change a hero's defense to be based on his strength (without using hidden abilities). I can remove the bonus added from agility, but I can't make the hero gain armor from strength. Any ideas?

Use hidden abilites.

you can change how much damage a unit takes by using a damage engine which modifies the damage based on something you specify for example the wc3 damage reduction formula for armor is ((armor)*0.06)/(1+0.06*(armor)) - this gives an ever decreasing amount of reduction per armor point, what you could do is write

damage = damage - (((sqrt(strength))*0.06)/(1+0.06*(sqrt(strength))) * damage) -- so for example a unit will be hit for 100 damage and he has 100 strength then he will only take 100 - (10*0.06/1+0.06*10 * 100)= 62.5 damage

however this way the amount of reduction will not be displayed anywhere and there is no way to display it unless you use some kind of lame texttag somewhere

I thought about that, but the idea is to use the default w3 armor display.

Clever: Swap the names for STR and AGI in the game interface settings.

But he might also need atk/move speed from Agi.

Attack speed and health can be handled by a bonusmod, health regen and movespeed with simple libraries.

Exactly. The problem with armor is, that there is no way to change base armor with just abilities or scripts (except through abusing the morph bug, but this is not recommended as morphing causes a variety of unwanted bugs), so if he wants armor tied to a base stat, just rename the stats and trigger everything else instead.

Good Idea I will try it like that! +rep

I don't need attack speed for the project I'm working on. I got the other stats handled by scripts/variables.
