Making an aura negative

[Marsunpaisti]

So, I got a problem making negative auras like aura that reduces the attack damage of nearby enemies. When I try to put a - marker in front of the value I want it to decrease, it just automatically removes it , So how can I make it work properly?

Example: You want devotion aura, instead of incereasing allied units armor, to decrease enemy units instead?

When opening the value (where you put the number for ammount of armor increased in this example) Hold Shift then press enter (while holding), once its oen u can release shift. Doing this alows you to put much larger then normal numbers in and lets you put the - sign. You can do this to any value in the object editor.

Welcome to the hive btw!

Thanks for your help, I have been wondering this when I started mapping and haven't bothered to ask it before now.

You can do this to any value in the object editor.

As far as I know, only to real values, such as HP or Mana.

Gahh, now I can enter the - marker on the value but when i press OK button it resets the value to 0...

in WE, go to file > preferences.
In one of the tabs here you can check "allow negative real values". If this flag is unchecked, negative values will return to 0.

or just hold shift and double click to value you want to change then it will accept negative values but allow negative real values as eleandor said is permanent and best way

I don't think it does. You must have this flag checked before it'll allow -1...

just give it a try well I didnt know this too learned 2-3 days ago
hold shift double click the thing you want to change type a negative value press ok and it will set it negative
my WE was set to allow negative values
Newgen wasnt so I tried it for checking if it works
then made it allow negative too

eh...

turn it off and try again.

 

[Marsunpaisti]

Ok now it works thanks.

Yeah, it works, but not for Unholy Aura. I mean it does, but hp reduction is always done by percent. Not by constant hp per second.

 

[Need_O2]

... :/ unholy aura gives constant hp on default already
You can set it to percent if you want
Im looking at "Level 1 - Data - Percent Bonus False" text right now
so dont tell me "its not like as you said"

 

[Altazen]

Oh... Yeah, sorry bout that. Didn't see that option before.
