Increasing the Hit Point Regeneration by a percentage

[Tzi]

Hi there!

I've got a minor question about hit point regeneration.

I want to increase a unit's hit point regeneration by X%, but without giving it an visible ability (such like Auras, Buffs, Green Buttons...).
In addition, I don't want to use "Item Life Regeneration" [Arel, Arll], except they're causing a useful bug.


Am I overlooking any non-periodic-trigger solution?

I suppose this is the way to go.
There is no ability that increases life by percentage (with your requirements).

In object editor the very right field: Researches or Techs

There you can modify a research to increase the hp-regen rate. Now you have to ensure that your specific unit uses this research. This also can be handled in object editor at your unit.

In game you simply can upgrade these techs with a GUI action. (cetegory: player-actions)

Neat idea, but I won't be able to lower this effect after I added it, am I right?^^

(like Minute 1 = 0% ---> Minute 2 (Researched) = 50% ---> Minute 3 (Lowering) = 20%)

No I think it's not possible directly to decrease researches. You could work with a research which does the opposite and then play around, but that would be nap.

Periodic event would be maybe most dynamic and best solution here.

Damn... I feared it...
Just to clarify^^:
Sometimes there could be aprox. 100 units at once that probably will be looped in a Dynamic Indexer (no Hashtable) using GUI, and later, if I'm experienced enough converting it to vJASS / WurstScript.
With keeping in mind that this map is aimed for being played as 5vs5 online, is this solution causing noticeable fps-loss? I don't have the possibilities for testing it in a realistic scenario, so I can't assess it^^

If you index them, then loop through 100 units, thats really no problem. Even in GUI. And no need to do it each 0.01 seconds, for example for life regen you can set the rate much higher.

Yeah, I was thinking about something like 0.10 or 0.15 anyway.
That it's close to the gap, where it still looks smooth.

Thanks for the help

You're welcome.
