Decreasing unit max HP

[CommanderZ]

Let's say I have an unit which starts with 1000 hp. How can I decrease its max HP to 900 on the run? JASS allowed.

on wc3campaigns.net there's such a system made by blade.dk ; jass

It's by Blade.dk, Eleandor (Elenai!)

I would get a link, but wc3c is apparently down at the moment.

That system is a bit overkill for me, I just want to drop the HP from 1000 to 900. I know it is something with adding and removing bonus HP ability, but I managed only to increse max HP, not to decrease it.

Then make the ability take health by holding shift when changing the values. It will let you go negative.

Through triggering there are two functions:

• Actions
  • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to 100.00%
  • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to 900.00

The first is percentages, the second is a value.

I have no idea what event and/or conditions you need to trigger the trigger.

Gavmandan: Hmm, I will try it

Wraithwynd: Lol, "How can I decrease its max HP to 900"

if you don't reach you aim with the "less HP" ability
you can also give a "more HP" to your unit and remove it in the trigger

That's the SetUnitMaxState thing.

That's the SetUnitMaxState thing.

That's what I meant, Greenpoot

Here's a fairly simple way to do it using "upgrades".

Create a unit with 900 max hit points.
Give it an upgrade that increases it's max health by 100.
Automatically apply the upgrade at map startup (or whenever) so that it will have 1000. To lower it's health, simply reduce the level of the upgrade.

To only have a "specific unit" receive the effect, you could make the upgrade non-global (do this by inputing "true" for 'applies to all units' within the upgrade... don't ask me why it's backwards, it just is). This makes it so that the upgrade will only apply to units that are made after the upgrade takes effect. So, you could:

1. decrease the upgrade
2. replace the unit with the same type, facing same direction and keeping it's current hp/health etc.
3. re-increase the upgrade (to ready it for future occasions).

Hope all that made sense.

I've solved it finally with the way YoshiRyu suggested, thanks and +rep
