Is There Way To Set Armor As Fraction? (Real number, Object Editor)

[Map Designer]

Hello,

so I want foot man armor to be 3.75, is there way to do that in object editor? it says it must be real number, but I think ive read some trick which lets us nvm that was WE unlimited which isnt recommanded for 1.21+ (I have 1.26 I think)

anyway, is there better trick?

Why do you need specfically 3.75 armor? You could change the armor damage reduction values in gameplay constants. If you multiply whatever numbers are there by 0.25 then 15 armor gives the equivalent reduction that 3.75 armor does now.


Edit: I'm actually not sure the reduction can be scaled that way if damage reduction isn't a linear function of armor. I am unsure if it is. Can a unit reach 100% damage reduction without infinite armor? If the answer is no then my method will kinda work but not precisely.

but then I have to change armor for all units...

You can use agility or frost armor or some other armor buff/debuff for this though it'll only display in green or red.

Actually @Pyrogasm Idea is quite nice but I must implement it in Future maps. It can make each armor point half step, but the Armor multiplier can only be 1%,2%,3% etc, cant 1.5% so it still cant do quarter armor step (3.75)

as for armor buffs @Dat-C3 agi wont work for units. but Frost armor or devotion aura can work. best option is prolly spiked carapace ability with 0 return damage.

Armor is already a real. The new natives take a real parameter. So use them to set the armor to the desired value.
Keep in mind that the UI will only display it as an integer.

Im still using 1.26 :S

Then I suggest raising up. The alternative to it would be some manipulation using green stats using SC or DA for 1.26

You don't need new natives to do this, Chaos Morph - Applying it to a system or CreateUnitWithProperties (and improved HeroicUnit) are the best methods before 1.29.
