[General] Making aura-buffs update faster

[darwin]

In my Battle for Tatooine map, I use a modified version of Devotion Aura to store your shield strength. I update this when your ship is damaged by changing the level of that ability (it effects only the ship it's in).

The problem is that it takes a long time to update (a second or so). When I change the level of the ability there is a lag and then the armor change appears on the character sheet. Is there a way to force the computer to update this more quickly?

Why don't you just use an item ability, that gives armor? They change the armor instantly

Wereelf,

That's an interesting idea. Do you know if you can change the level of an item ability? I dynamically change the level up and down as the shields regenerate or suffer more ion damage. So I would need to be able to adjust them accordingly.

Try the "Unit - Remove specific buff" and select said buff.

It should remove the lower level buff and the spell will re-apply automatically current level buff. Well, in theory ^^

 

[WereElf]

Yes, you can change the level of item abilities. I do that for some skills

Worked like a charm, wereelf!

p.s. That's actually a stupid statement...because charms don't work. But this did, so thank you.
