[General] Is there a better way to do this?

[Kakerate]

In my map, I am creating a "Spell Power" system. What I mean is that certain items increase how much damage your abilities inflict. The map is multiplayer. Each player will only control one hero. Dealing with just the items aspect of this system, when a hero uses an item the map needs to know which player used the item, so I used this trigger for each player in the game:

If ((Owner of TempUnit[1]) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) then do (Set SpellPower[1] = 3.00) else do (Do nothing)

Do I need to do this for each player in the game? Is there a shorter way around this? Many thanks!

• Set Integer = PlayerNumberOf(OwnerOfTriggeringUnit())
• Set SpellPower[Integer] = 3.00

Integer is a variable.

• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set SpellPower[(Integer A)] = 3.00

@icemanbo: good call, xD
@chaosy : how would I do it so that I can do that and have it still work for just the player whose hero used the item? I definitely don't want it so that when one hero uses the item all heroes get the bonus.

I suppose you want them to have a base spell power too?

dont use that method for adding for one unit

The base spell power is one Well anyways, I think I will go with IceManbo's method, looks pretty straightforward and simple. Thanks to both of you for your help!

youre missing the point xd
that's how you should set the spell power to 1 in the init trigger. Doing it manually is bad for the structure.
