[MooNek]

Hello, I've got a problem with makeing two skills
1) I want to make skill which will add bonus to unit when the life will get under for example 10%. Anyone know how to make game check actual precentage life of the unit?

2) Second skill will consume 10% of life when used, and i can't find out how to do this ;/
Hope it is possible and you'll help me

1) Is it active or passive ability? There is Unit - percentage lige of unit action.
2) Set life of triggering unit to current life of triggering unit x 0.9

Use a timer that runs every 0.03 seconds and checks if the desired units hp is below x%

There are two approaches for this.

1. Polling: Where you periodically check the life of a unit to see if it is less than 10% of the maximum life for the unit.

2. On damage: Where the unit takes damage that will reduce life below the 10% threshold (be aware the event fires before the actual damage is removed from health). Although this will detect most cases it will not detect life reduction via non-damage sources such as Disease Cloud of the Abomination or calls to set unit life below the threshold.

2) Second skill will consume 10% of life when used, and i can't find out how to do this ;/

There are also two approaches for this.

1. Set the life to the current life minus 10% or the current or maximum life (obviously for current life there is a simplification available).

2. Instead of subtracting the current life by 10% of the current or maximum life, you damage the unit by that amount in a form that will not get reduced. This will run on damage events which may or may not be what you want to happen.
