How to make Intel not increase a heroes mana

[AlloyJ]

I have a hero which is based off of rage. His mana needs to be capped at 100. I don't want people to be able to buy an intel item and increase it, as that defeats the purpose. Is there a way to prevent intel from increasing mana on certain heroes?

I dont know if you can limit the cap to 100, but you surely can limit the current amount of mana.

If (Hero) mana is greater than 100, do: Set (Hero) mana to 100. Simple

Ah, I greatly over thought this. Thanks.

You can also change whether intel gives mana in constants.

sorry about my dumb questions, I got it now. I'm new and I get frustrated easily with this stuff.

Btw, use the edit button. (Doubleposting within 48 hours is not allowed)
Also, you don't need to be sorry about asking for help. There's very few people that never need help.

plz do not triple post instead hit the edit button on ur last post.
Select unit is for a preplaced unit. If u want it to be a unit that isnt preplaced u need to use a variable.

So, how do I make it only work for a specific unit through variables? And sorry for triple post, I was going to try to delete my previous ones, but found out I couldnt.

u can delete ur own posts.

How is ur unit created ? by training it, buying it, through a portal ?

 

[AlloyJ]

you buy the unit. It seems I can't choose any of the variables in the list as an unit for this trigger.

 

[deathismyfriend]

is the unit trained ? normally heroes are trained not bought.

 

[AlloyJ]

No, it's bought. There is no queue time, they spawn instantly and are from Taverns. Does that change anything?

 

[deathismyfriend]

not really one sec and ill give u a test map and some triggers. all that does is change the event

 

[AlloyJ]

Well, the only thing really going wrong for me is that I cannot use a variable as my option for "UNITS mana becomes Greater than 100, set mana to 100". It doesn't allow me to use a variable where it says UNIT.

 

[deathismyfriend]

do u have any variables already made ? if u dont have any unit variables made u cant use them.

heres a test map so u can see how it works.

 

[AlloyJ]

alright, thanks a million, and yeah I made a variable for my hero.

Edit - Ah, see, I'm trying to make the mana set to 100 for only one certain hero, not all heroes.

 

[deathismyfriend]

with the variable it will only set it to one hero if u add conditions. U can use only a variable instead of a variable array like i did. Then u set the unit to that variable. when that specific unit is bought.
u just do a unit type condition so only that unit will be put into the variable. if u have multiple units u will need to increase an integer to keep track of the max index for the unit.

This will work for only one unit and it will work if u have more than one unit of that unit type

 

[AlloyJ]

I'm just trying to select my custom hero as a target for the mana limit - how can I do that easily?

 

[deathismyfriend]

u have to do it through triggers. it depends how u are trying to select it. the way i posted adds units to the loop when they are sold. u use the conditions so it only adds the unit type of that unit. u need to explain a lot better on what u want. It should be easy to altar wat i posted to ur liking tho.
