[Trigger] How do you edit a unit's hitpoints and base damage in game?

[l33t5up4h4x0r]

Ive been mapping for over 4 years and still dunno how to do this. Ive done this in the past by using other ways but generally i need a more effective way to do this. Im making a spell that a summoned unit's hp and damage is based off a hero's int.

Hmm you could to an Techtype for the Summoned Unit which will be the same as the Int. But there is an max Level of 50 tought, and you'll need one Techtree for each Player, plus you can't lower the Techlevel.

Then just set an Trigger which Fires when the Spell is cast, and set the Tech to the suggested level. Maybe you could do at level increase for each 4int the Hero has..

Have you ever heared of the function SetUnitMaxState before? It sets the HP of the unit to the given level. Don't be afraid just because it's in JASS, it's easy to use, and has a tutorial.

I don't know any solution for setting the damage... Only a lame one (using the Claws of Attack item ability with many-many levels).

They call it the Triggers (GUI) section for a reason paskovich.

You could enlight us, and say how you solved it, so it can be done by other with the same Problem.

What I would do would simply give the unit an ability that increase the maximum of hit point:
Item Life Bonus (Greater)
Converted into an unit ability with your Hit Point modification value. You won't see the icon so it will be ok. And for the damage, add the ability:
Item Attack Bonus (+X)
It don't matter the number as you will modify it to the valu you want.

That is what I would do... You could remove the hit point max and the damage increasement at any time...

i used custom ability variable in each to store a hero's stat and use triggers to deal that much damage each time the unit attacks....for the life bonus thing with abilities, i used the item ability life bonus and it dosent seem to work for normal non-hero units...why is dat?

 

[MetalWarrior]

Hum, think think... I don't know why it don't work with unit, cause in my map, it does...

Lame way! That trigger fires when the unit'a attack animation starts, and not when the Attacked Unit is damaged. It will even deal bonus damage when the attacker misses...

The only lame way is one that doesn't work. And while I agree that this is probably not the best way and that this method can cause problems, a simple wait function can fix many of the problems.

Well, if you think so...
