[Datnes]

Hi, I think its quite simple question and I am sure it was here allready, anyway, I couldn't found any posts that are similar to this.

How to add,remove armor using triggers?

> I used tech to it, but i can not unlearn the tech again :/

You can not do this directly, but basically you just add/remove an ability that adds armor. Such as "Item armor bonus"

Note that what you're asking has a lot to do with Bonusmods

 

[Datnes]

Is there another way?

Is there another way?

The only way is following Xonok's idea. To repeat it, to add armor, just add an abilty that adds armor such as Item Armor bonus or if you want an ability that increases armor of nearby units, Devoton Aura. For reducing armor, either remove ability that adds the armor, Item Armor bonus or Devotion Aura, whichever you used here or you can make an ability that adds a negative armor. Just configure again Devotion or Item Armor and set the armor given with a "-" sign

There is, but this is pretty hard...
Use a dummy unit that has the corruption ability (decreases armor) then make it attack the unit.

There is also the GUI-version if it's the vJass that is bothering you.

The poblem is that the game has items that have random +armor bonus. So when the item has +10 armor, the function is (IntegerA 1 to 10) with function add +1 armor

What? I'm not quite sure what you mean.
If you have a +10 armor bonus, then these will be added: +8 armor, +2 armor. There is no loop from 1 to 10 that adds +1 armor every time.
Did you try out the map?

How bonusmods work:

Lets say you want to add 4821 armor. It's a lot, but it's good to use large numbers in this example.
You have 13 abilities.

Abilities

• Slot 0 = +1
• Slot 1 = +2
• Slot 2 = +4
• Slot 3 = +8
• Slot 4 = +16
• Slot 5 = +32
• Slot 6 = +64
• Slot 7 = +128
• Slot 8 = +256
• Slot 9 = +512
• Slot 10 = +1024
• Slot 11 = +2048
• Slot 12 = +4096

If you look at the list of abilities you might notice, that the bonus of each ability is 2ˇSlotnumber(2 raised to power of Slotnumber)

You first check the highest amount in the list.
Is the amount higher or equal to 4096? Yes it is.
So you add 4096 armor and the amount that has to be added is decreased by 4096.
You now have 725 more armor to add.
Is the amount higher or equal to 2048? No
What about 1024? No
512? Yes
So you add 512 armor and decrease the amount that has to be added by 512.
You now have 213 armor to add.
Is it higher or equal to 256? No
128? Yes
So you add 128 armor.
You now have 85 armor to add.
Is the amount 64 or higher? Yes
Add 64 armor and you now have 21 to add.
Is the amount 32 or more? No
16 or more? Yes
Add 16 and you have 5 to add.
Is it 8 or more? No
4 or more? Yes, add 4 and you have 1 to add.
2 or more? No
1 or more? Yes. Add 1

Now the loop continues to check all other abilities or just ends.
The system has successfully added 4821 armor by using only 7 abilities.
With 13 abilities the system supports adding from 1 to 8191 armor. (highest amount*2)-1

Hey guys can try using trigger lol like every 1 second add 1 armor...???

 

[Binsu]

Set your event to Every 1 sec then for Action, give Item Armor bonus +1

 

[Xonok]

Set your event to Every 1 sec then for Action, give Item Armor bonus +1

Abilities don't stack...

 

[Binsu]

AH, then give an ability that increases in order like

Item Armor Bonus +1

then after a second

Item Armor Bonus+2 then so on...

That's essentially what a bonusmod does, except that it's more refined. Aka, you say "GIMME 278 armor!!!" and it does, while using a minimal amount of abilities.

Abilities don't stack...

Don't some of them do? I mean I know item abilities stack.

 

[Xonok]

Item abilities don't, items do. If you put those abilities on units, then they no longer stack. And if you use up all 6 item slots, then you can have up to 2ˇ6 armor, which is only 64, while a bonusmod(like the one I made) can support millions, without taking any items or showing any abilities.

EDIT: Check BonusModHash in this map.
The bad side is that it's vJASS, so you can only use it with JNGPE. However, adding/removing stats is just 1 function, so it should be easy.

Is that different from the NewGen that's in the tools section?

JNGPE is JASS NewGen Pack Editor, so no. Although newest JassHelper might be needed, so the editor that JASS class uses is the best(uploaded by Magtheridon)
