Hero attributes real/integer

[Solu9]

I have been wondering for some time how hero attributes should be seen.

In the object manager they are seen as reals.
Fx. A unit can have 1.5 Strength and each level it can also gain a fraction of a number.
But when used in triggers as well as attribute increasing items the attributes are seen as integers.

So what are they, and why are they reals one place but integers the other?

I think they are reals but get converted to integers so they're basically reals rounded down to whole numbers, why idk.

 

[Ceday]

They are saved as real, but when they are used in game they are rounded down as death adder said.

They saved as real so a hero can gain for example 1.5 str per level.

 

[Solu9]

Right.
But what is the purpose of limiting the Hero Attribute trigger function to integers when it in fact reals. The game could round down automatically after the trigger had run.

 

[Ceday]

They probably saw no purpose with using real attributes.

.10 maybe is equal to 1

Ex
the hero str add 1.5
but if you see in attributes is show 1
.5 is hidden

No, that's not the case. It's like Ceday and Death Adder wrote.
You can easily check this yourself in the world editor - e.g. paladin hero gains 2.7 strength per level and starts with 22 strenght and 650 hp.
Level 2 - he has 24 strength, 700 health
Level 3 - he has 27 strength, 775 health
He gains 25 hp bonus per strength point only. There's no in-between.
