[Trigger] Custom Mana Regeneration

[Peacehagen]

I want to make a triggered mana regeneration for my Heroes but here is my issue:

Event - Every 1 sec of the game.

Action - Set mana of HERO to (0.25 + 0.02x Intelligence of HERO)

Obviously not all triggers are there, but that is not the issue, the issue is when the mana gained each sec is less than 1, the Hero never regenerates mana. In addition, only whole numbers like 1, 2, 3 etc counts towards the mana regeneration, not the numbers after the . like 1.25 only gives 1 mana per sec.

So my question is:

Is there an easy way to fix this or do i need timers or something? If so, could someone help me create the necessary triggers?


P.S.
The reason why I want triggered mana regeneration is because some Heroes use the formula above to regenerate mana, some Heroes regenerate (3 + 0.05x Intelligence) per sec and some Heroes have no mana regeneration but have some spells that generates mana and some that consumes.

Would be very grateful fr some help, +rep ofc!

you cant tell if 1.25 regens mana but it does its not possible to see because mana is not in decimals anyways this is simple just make a periodic trigger that runs every 1 second(mana per second) and preset the mana amount into a variable so its easier to configure then set your unit's mana to mana + the amount in the variable

As you can see from this test, the Mana Regen of Blood Mage raised from 1 to 3 (+1.5 MP Regen/second).
Which means, it does accept Real values.

0 + 1.5 = 1.5 (Show 1)
1.5 + 1.5 = 3.0 (Show 3)

You just can't see Real values inside the UI, but the fact that it is in Real.

Yeah, but if the total value is below 1, the Hero wont regenerate any mana at all. For example if the total mana regen is 0.5/sec, then it should restore 1 mana every 2 sec, but the Hero never gets any mana.

Anyway, I solved it, maybe in a inefficient way. I made a variable with array for every player and through a loop I added the mana value every 0.1 sec. And each time it added new numbers to the variable I made a check if the value of the variable is 1 or more. If it is then the Hero gains 1 mana and the variable is reduced in value by 1.

It is working as intended but if someone knows a better way you are welcome to share

Thanks for your help gorillabull and defskull

Have you tested the test map, carefully ?
Try change the 1.50 to 0.50, and you will notice the Blood Mage will gain 1 MP per 2 second (because 0.50 MP per 1 second).

Okay, so the test map download is 0 at the moment, no wonder you're throwing theories ;p

I have no problems in setting mana regen to below 1 when using the JASS natives... I mean they still regenerate correctly...

btw, I think you have a wrong action peacehagen:

• Action - Set mana of HERO to (0.25 + 0.02x Intelligence of HERO)

no wonder you don't regen, because you're setting mana to the same value over and over again...

 

[defskull]

Yes it should be (Mana of (HERO)) + YourFormula

• Unit - Set Mana of HERO to (Mana of (HERO) + YourFormula)

In this case, your action is the problem, not about value below 1 or whatever.

and oh, I may have not tested defskull's map but I know using reals/decimals as triggered mana regen works based from my own experience in my current map in which I regen maybe 1 mana per 3 seconds at default settings of the hero and the triggers...

 

[Peacehagen]

It may be the action, didnt test the map because it didnt work for
me when using the same thing. But it must have been the action.

Sorry for all the problem and thank you for helping out everyone
