[Solved] Health and mana restoration on levelup

[Smiddle]

Instead of having HP and mana healed when a hero levels up (or when a unit receives a HP/MP bonus in general, I assume), I want the percentage to remain constant. Found nothing in gameplay constants. How to?

 

[defskull]

Are you talking about the "default" HP/MP "healed" by Warcraft III Games when your Hero levels up ?

It is not a form of "healing", it's just that Hero has attribute that is called as Strength and if your Hero has an increment of Strength by greater than or equal to 1 when level up, it will adjust your HP Percentage accordingly, not "heal" you exactly.

For example;
Current Hero HP: 400/1000
Hero levels up: Each level up gains 3 Strength; each Strength gives +17 HP
Current Hero HP: 400/1000 + (17 * 3) = 451/1051

This is the mechanics, so what do you want to do exactly ?

You can also modify it via trigger to;

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + 50.00)

Trigger above will "heal" Hero by 50 upon level up

You can also "heal" it by percentage;

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + (0.10 x (Max life of (Triggering unit))))%

Trigger above will "heal" Hero by 10% of its Max HP upon level up

but you know 451/1051 is not 400/1000 so it will still "heal" him a little bit in
but as defskull shown you can modify it with triggers easily

Yes, that's it. As edo494 said, 451/1051 is a larger percentage than 400/1000, so the hero will actually be healed. What I want is to retain the percentage health; in this case it would be 420/1051, so that it equals the 40% it had before leveling.

Now that I know the mechanics, adjusting the HP shouldn't be too hard, but the tricky part is to detect every strength bonus. I assume using a periodic trigger would be the easiest.

What you really meant was;
400/1000
Hero levels up
400/1051

Is this what you meant ?
To retain the HP ?

but the tricky part is to detect every strength bonus

What do you meant by this ?
The Strength per level, and X bonus HP per Strength are all set in Gameplay Constants, so there would be no problem as you define them yourselves, you have the power.

Why the need of periodic trigger by the way ?

No, retain the HP percentage. This is what I want:

400/1000 = 40%
Hero levels up
420/1051 = 40%

What do you meant by this ?
The Strength per level, and X bonus HP per Strength are all set in Gameplay Constants, so there would be no problem as you define them yourselves, you have the power.

My heroes don't have integers (whole numbers) as Strength per level. For example, if your strength per level is 1.5, it will alternate between gaining 1 str and 2 str.

Why the need of periodic trigger by the way ?

I assume this will be the easiest way to detect a HP changes, since it can happen in many ways. Level up, items, upgrades, etc.

Thanks, that looks good.

Implemented it, doesn't work...

I'm quite sure I copied everything correctly (not entirely sure about the mana bit, but otherwise yes). Nevertheless, it neither worked before I added the mana parts.

I found what I was doing wrong, now it works wonderfully (the mana thing too). Many thanks! (Can't rep because I have to "spread some around" before giving you again)
