Dynamically Increasing the Max HP of a unit

[bugbear]

How would a custom script look to increase the Maximum HP of a specific unit? I tried using Item HP Bonus ability as a Unit ability, but increasing the level of this ability did not actually change the maximum HP to the new amount.

For Example: Lvl 1 = 50 bonus HP and Lvl 2 = 100
Increasing the ability to level 2 still only gave a 50 HP bonus to the unit.

This ability has 20 different levels to it, so I don't really think making 20 different lvl 1 abilities would be a good idea, hence my request for a custom script.

Thanks in advance.

I think item ability can stack...

It doesn't seem to stack on units by just adding it over and over.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add +101 HP (Level 2 = +1) to Footman 0000 <gen>
    • Unit - Increase level of +101 HP (Level 2 = +1) for Footman 0000 <gen>
    • Unit - Remove +101 HP (Level 2 = +1) from Footman 0000 <gen>

I just learned of this today. Apparently when level is increased the ability will simply permanently add the amount of HP it would add at level 1, and when removed it will remove the amount of HP it would add at the level it's currently on. So every time this trigger runs it would permanently add 100 HP to the footman.

You have no idea how much frustration you've saved me with those 3 simple lines of code. Thank you, thank you, thank you.


Also, how do I mark this as solved?

You can also get the unit to use tomes to achieve a simlar affect.
However this method I will look into as it could have useful features like allowing not just HP and damage to be permantly increased.
