Is it possible somehow?

[BloodDrunk]

Is it possible to make my own upgrade?
I mean i want to make a custom upgrade which will increase the armour.
I think it needs some good coding, so if it's possible, can someone do it?

why dont use the upgrades in object editor?

if u want decrease later then just use item abilities for change the unit armor

 

[BloodDrunk]

I can't find the upgrade for armour

 

[shadowvzs]

right, there is only "apply defence bonus" and "change defence type" but u can do it with ability then, like item - devotion aura (set it to self) - if u need icon
or
Item Armor bonus (if u want without buff icon)

 

[BloodDrunk]

I know that already, but I need upgrade because I respawn creeps every 25 seconds. With the ability, everytime they spawn, I'll have to give them that ability, and I have wayy too much triggers for doing that..

I dont even need to check the object editor to get any upgrade for armor,
just check footman for instance and hover with mouse over his defence

This goes for any race

NE - archer, sentinel
undead - ghoul, crypt fiend
human - footman, rifleman, knight
orc - grunt, troll headhunter/berserker, shaman

the name for human one is: Upgrade - Iron plating

btw: Dota uses the same thing, the creeps has a defence and every I think 5 minutes the creeps get upgraded a little bit, then you have big creeps which is like 15 upgrade level and then you have mega creeps(no building "creating" other's side units(crypt etc) standing). This is I think level 30

now, what I don't understand again is: How much armour does it gives it?

I see only this: Effect 1: Apply Defense Upgrade Bonus

how do I know how much armour will it give?

 

[edo494]

isnt it based on unit? I recall footman has defence upgrade bonus defaultly set to 2 and when I try to change his defence I ever try to change that so maybe thats the value you are looking for (in JNGP its (udup))

lol Ive found out it should be wrote defense not defence ...

if u check in object editor a unit there have a field Combat - Defense Upgrade Bonus

whatever if u change to every unit then why dont make a aura with huge range? like 99999?
(hold shift then edit the range in object editor)

then u add this aura to 1 unit from that player and it is applied to every unit owned by that player

 

[BloodDrunk]

so, If I understand it correctly, it goes like this: Let's say normal defense is 3 and defense upgrade bonus is 2, then when I set the level of upgrade to 1, the unit will have 6 armour, right? 3x2=6 or it works different way?

 

[edo494]

it is add with + not *, so level 1 is 3+2(5), level 2 is def+level 1 + 2(5+2 = 7) etc

shadowvzs:

Auras are better used with different effects as you can only have a finite number of them on you, if you made it with devotion aura, and lets say had a hero with devotion aura, they wont work together afaik(maybe Im wrong but I doubt)

i am not sure but i guess is 3+2

I'm increasing the armour every 10 mins, and then every enemy unit will have that aura, and I want it only the creeps to have it, and it depends on the mode that is selected

 

[BloodDrunk]

f*** u blizzard, why make it so complicated xD. Ok I'll try and see how it works xD

defense upgrade work only 1x, but then u can use aura and give to 1 neutral hostile unit (could be that unit invisible or building too i guess ) then increase the aura lv by 1 afte each 10 min with periodic trigger

 

[edo494]

be aware of the fact that you cant change level of upgrade downwards so once the upgrade reaches level 1 you cant go back to level 0

 

[BloodDrunk]

I made it work without fucking with this upgrade shits haha, her'e s rep for helping anyway

Take a random item ability that gives armor. Rename it to "Blizzard Sucks (+X)"

Replace the X in the name with the amount of armor you want to give.

Uncheck the item ability tag. This makes the ability for units.

When a creep spawns, give the ability to that unit. No mess, no upgrades, no complicated triggers, just an innocent "Blizzard Sucks" ability. When the unit dies, no harm is done.

But if you need it on a permanent basis, then make an upgrade. Otherwise stick to the "Blizzard Sucks"
