Intro
Hello, this is my first submission in the spell section, so apologies in advance for any mistake. I present to you the New Bonus System. Since Object Merger stopped working and we still have no ways to edit the bonus values of a unit natively, I decided to create this light weight system to manage that and give everyone a simpler way to work with bonus values than the Bonus Mod.​
​
How it works?
By using the new Object API introduced to Warcraft, we can now modify an unit ability field value, so when giving an unit a bonus, we add a specific ability to that unit that gives such bonus, if it do not have it already, and change that ability field bonus value to the desired value. Retrieving the amount is also trivial, by just reading that field value.​

How to Import?
Importing New Bonus is really simple. Just copy the 9 abilities with the prefix "NewBonus" from the Object Editor into your map [Raw Codes Z001 to Z009 in demo map] and match their new raw code to the bonus types in the global block of the library. You can also define their raw code when pasting to be Z001 to Z009, that's why I created them with this raw codes. Then create a trigger called NewBonus, convert it to custom text, delete all text in it and paste the Library code there. That's it, you are done!​
​
Requirements
NewBonus requires patch 1.31+ and RegisterPlayerUnitEvent Library. NewBonus Extended also Requires DamageInterface, CooldownReduction and Tenacity libraries.​
vJASS: 
function GetUnitBonus takes unit u, integer bonus_type returns real
    -> Returns the specified bonus amount for the unit
    -> Example: set amount = GetUnitBonus(GetTriggerUnit(), BONUS_AGILITY)

function SetUnitBonus takes unit u, integer bonus_type, real amount returns real
    -> Set the specified bonus type to amount for the unit
    -> Example: call SetUnitBonus(GetTriggerUnit(), BONUS_DAMAGE, 100)

function RemoveUnitBonus takes unit u, integer bonus_type returns nothing
    -> Removes the Specified bonus type from unit
    -> Example: call RemoveUnitBonus(GetTriggerUnit(), BONUS_AGILITY)

Considering the test map alone, I would approve this system. However, certain things addressed in the Code section of the review would need to be resolved before approval. Hence, this has been moved to Awaiting Update.

Hi Chopinski, not sure if it's a bug or an error on my side, but the BONUS_SIGHT_RANGE does not reverse with "call RemoveUnitBonus".

@Ugabunda I've tested what you reported and there's nothing wrong with the system, so it must be something on your trigger. I noticed that you are using the SetUnitBonus() function, which overwrites previous amounts with the new one, you might want to use AddUnitBonus() for that matter maybe. You can test the Sight Range bonus on the test map, it takes a 1 or 2 to update but it works as intended. Check if the unit getting it's bonus reduced is the correct one as well.

Mmm was just able to test it. A few things:
  1. You were right, for some reason not the right units were selected to remove the sight bonus. However:
  2. When I select the right units, the bonus removal still does not work. I'm using now:
  • call AddUnitBonus(udg...
and then

  • call RemoveUnitBonus(udg...
FYI: In your test map the Sight Range bonus does not work either (+100 does nothing, and removing does nothing)

***

Edit: I also tested it with damage, and there the bonus damage gets removed correctly. So I really think it's only Sight Range:

Mmm was just able to test it. A few things:
  1. You were right, for some reason not the right units were selected to remove the sight bonus. However:
  2. When I select the right units, the bonus removal still does not work. I'm using now:
  • call AddUnitBonus(udg...
and then

  • call RemoveUnitBonus(udg...
FYI: In your test map the Sight Range bonus does not work either (+100 does nothing, and removing does nothing)

It does work, i will send a GIF showing it working once i have a little more time. Sight Range takes 1 or 2 seconds to take effect and it works in tiles apparently, so if you bonus is to small it might not produce a visible change.

Just edited my previous comment. So damage is added and removed correctly. But not Sight Range. And yes, the "removal" takes 2 seconds to take full effect. But the "restoration" does not happen at all (I chose -350 Sight Range).

Hey man! Epic work in this great system! I got a request tho. So in my map, I want to make a crafting system, which will produce the same item-type but with different qualities, so different stats. I wondered if you could make possible that i link stats to a specific item, not item-type, and link it to the item not the unit, so as to work automatically when changing the unit carrying it

LinkBonusToItem already uses an item object as a parameter, so what you want to do is already possible with just that, you just need to use conditions when your unit acquire an item to figure out what bonus it will get. The system requires no change for you to be able to do that.

Hi Chopinski, you were right about the sight range. In your test map it does work. I didn't realize the change because 100 is too small of a change. But if I go down to -1400 and "null" the bonus, sight is restored indeed.

But in my map I'm still unable to restore sight for some reason, even though I pick the same units and use:
  • Custom script: call RemoveUnitBonus(udg_DarkAscension_TempUnit, BONUS_SIGHT_RANGE)
Can you please check the trigger? I really don't know what else could be wrong...

I haven't read it yet, but tell me what you want your ability to do. Post it's description.

Sure, this is what it should do:
  • The ability is based on Moonstone ability to summon an artificial night
  • Upon cast, the caster gets 50*ability level bonus damage for the duration of the ability
  • Upon cast, all enemy units lose the shared vision gained from allies (= you can only see your own units) and have reduced sight radius of -350 for the duration of the ability

Ok, Do you wish for the debuff to be dispellable?

For the caster? no, should not be dispellable. If somehow possible, he should only retain the bonus damage as long as the the artificial night remains though.

For the units affected by vision impairment I wouldn't add a debuff. Probably adds too much lag when >100 units get added a debuff at the same time...

That depends on how you do it, but yeah, since you are using GUI. You should try to learn JASS, it would make your modding life so much easier. Later i will try to solve it, im at work right now.

Hey Chopinski, I experimented some more, but this function doesn't seem to work for Sight_Range (it does work for damage though):
  • Custom script: call RemoveUnitBonus(udg_DarkAscension_TempUnit, BONUS_SIGHT_RANGE)
But I saw that I can use a "timed" version of Sight Range:
  • Custom script: call AddUnitBonusTimed(udg_DarkAscension_TempUnit, BONUS_SIGHT_RANGE, udg_DarkAscension_SightReduction, udg_DarkAscension_Duration)
With this it works! And I have a version of the spell which works now (not MUI, but it's functional):

What I'm failing to understand is why the "call RemoveUnitBonus" works for damage, but not for Sight_Range?

Edit: Regarding JASS, I'm trying to pick up some code here and there. But I still fail to understand how people can possibly know all the text by heart. For some things I simply don't know where to even start.

Writing code in wc3 is not much different than creating triggers in GUI, things are named accordingly and you have tools that mimic GUI's "Search For Text" feature.

Plus you wouldn't write your JASS in the World Editor, you would use some other tool like Visual Studio Code, which will have intellisense support and will be an overall MUCH better experience.

Intellisense is what relieves you of having to memorize everything. So for example, when you type the word "Create" a dropdown menu appears with every single function related to creating something. CreateUnit, CreateItem, CreateGroup, CreateDestructable, etc... and after selecting a function you will have instructions as to what to type next to get the function to work. See my attached picture "example".

It's honestly much easier and 100x faster than GUI once you get the hang of it.

With all that being said, I feel obligated to recommend learning Lua over JASS, because it's just nicer in every way. The only reason JASS is worth using as far as I'm aware is because it's been around all this time and has many systems that take advantage of it (including this great one). But if all of these systems would be converted to Lua I wouldn't really see an argument that could be made to use JASS ever again. The only reason this is even a problem in the first place is because the Editor only supports one language at a time, JASS or Lua. Maps use JASS by default (you're using it in your map right now) so it's hard for people to make the conversion over to Lua. So I guess what I'm saying is... learn Jass, THEN Lua.

@Ugabunda I've recreated your ability based on your description. Haven't tested with the Set and Remove functionalities from new bonus, but they should work since both use the same base code as the Add. I've noticed that you were using the Set and Remove in a bad manner, maybe because you didn't understand than fully yet. The SetUnitBonus() will overwrite any previous bonus amount that the unit have for a given bonus type and RemoveUnitBonus simply calls the SetUnitBonus function but just using 0 as a parameter. The AddUnitBonus() will consider any previous Set/Add bonus that the unit have and add (or subtract if its negative) to it, so this should be the best function to use. Most of the time (if not all of it) you will want to use AddUnitBonus instead of Set and Remove to avoid making mistakes like that, at least until you fully understand what the system is doing.

Here are the triggers. AddUnitBonusTimed() is MUI by itself but the auxiliary variables that i used to make this might be overwritten with multiple casts, but i'm sure you can make it fully MUI by yourself.

                  • (Player((Integer A))) Not equal to (Player((Integer B)))

                • Else - Actions

I also uploaded a test map so you ca see it working. To test it in game simply select the paladin unit and see the magic happening.

Many thanks @Uncle and @chopinski !

This Intellisense explains a lot. I recently get more and more annoyed with GUI because it is so slow when creating triggers which should be easy (selecting 100x the same functions, creating ugly global variables, needing to click 10 times to add a small change in a variable...). So yeah, I'm soon at the breaking point of overcoming my laziness with checking out JASS more seriously.

So.. i found a weird bug interaction with this system.
I wanna increase the armor of a unit that increase by some percentage of mana if they have a spesific buff by using the system api and another one that increase them by some percentage of strength using warcraft api. Like this :

Mana to Armor
  • Mana to Armor
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set ArmorManaTempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Evaluate Condition <gen> conditions) Equal to True))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ArmorManaTempGroup and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set ArmorManaUnit = (Picked unit)
          • Set ArmorManaRealMana = (0.02 x (Max mana of ArmorManaUnit))
          • Custom script: call SetUnitBonus(udg_ArmorManaUnit, BONUS_ARMOR, R2I(udg_ArmorManaRealMana))
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_ArmorManaTempGroup)

Str to armor
  • Strength to Armor
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set ArmorSTRTempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ArmorSTRTempGroup and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set ArmorSTRReal = (0.30 x (Real((Strength of (Picked unit) (Include bonuses)))))
          • Unit - Set Armor of (Picked unit) to ArmorSTRReal
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_ArmorSTRTempGroup)

Each of them are working fine.
Except if you turn on both of them.
My unit's armor got decreased instead by the total amount of it gets from mana to armor value.
I really confused now. What am i do wrong here?
Here also the test map

It's not a bug. Your problem has nothing to do with the system but with how the SetArmor blizzard function works. That function takes in consideration the bonus (green value) armor amount, so when you set the armor amount of a unit that has a bonus value it compensates the White value to match the total amount, that's why you see a negative value when you learn your ability. To make it work how you want you have to make a few changes that you can see below. Basically you have to add to the amount that will be passed to the blizzard function the bonus amount that was set by this system. It's a weird behavior but that's how it works, that function does not take in consideration the white value only. I also fused the 2 triggers into one, so it's a bit more efficient and easier to read. Also on a side note I recommend you use the AddUnitBonusTimed function from my system instead of the SetUnitBonus. SetUnitBonus will overwrite any value previously set, so if at some point in some other trigger you change the unit armor the Set function will make that change almost impossible to recover.

  • Armor
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time

Ah now i see how it is.
That is also applied to the other stats to, isn't it?

Anyway thanks for the explaination.

Just FYI: You can edit the demon hunter's evasion ability's evasion chance with blzsetabilityreallevelfield thus you don't need to use damage interface to make evasion. Also implementing evasion this way prevents secondary effects from occurring when an attack misses where as damage engine or damage interface your unit will still get stunned from bash for example even if the damage is changed to 0.

edit: Could we have a demon hunter evasion based evasion chance bonus in the next new bonus release please?

Yeah, I know all that. I wanted to specifically integrate both of my systems with NewBonus because I create Maps myself and with that I would be able to have more control over events. I can include a version that do not use the other system and with more bonusses types in the future, but right now I'm very busy with work and college. When I got a little more time, I'll go back to it.

Your Extended version is not using 3 globals you declared (probably because of the non-extended version)


JASS: 
        private constant integer CRITICAL_STRIKE_ABILITY  = 'Z00C'
        private constant integer EVASION_ABILITY          = 'Z00D'
        private constant integer LIFE_STEAL_ABILITY       = 'Z00E'

Yeah, it's because I CTRL + C, CTRL +V the configuration block block and only changed the types for the extended version. It's there but does nothing. Not worth the effort of reposting a new version since it's inoffensive.

OK, but can the ability manipulated in a way which calculates multiplicatively, and not additively?

Or maybe have a setting where you can choose how the stats should behave when adding up? (this would be useful for items specifically)
Click to expand...
You can create your own way of manipulating this bonus specifically, but that's a job for a separate system.

Alright, thanks. Just some pointers: I guess this is the area which I have to adjust, right? (current_amount + amount):

JASS: 
static method AddUnitBonus takes unit u, integer bonus_type, integer amount returns integer
                local integer current_amount = GetUnitBonus(u, bonus_type)


                // Added in version 1.5 to avoid overflow/underflow of the field value
                if amount > 0 and current_amount > 2147483647 - amount then //Overflow
                    set amount = 2147483647 - current_amount
                elseif amount < 0 and current_amount < -2147483648 - amount then //Underflow
                    set amount = -2147483648 - current_amount
                endif
    
                call SetUnitBonus(u, bonus_type, (current_amount + amount))

There's more to it than that. Take a look at my Cooldown Reduction system. It does basically what you want but for cooldown reduction. I don't recommend messing with the system code, you can create some unwanted behavior for other stuff. You will also need to know jass a little bit.

I'm having a problem with "GetUnitBonus". I can correctly grab the current BONUS_DAMAGE of a hero, but not BONUS_ATTACK_SPEED.

In the trigger below, the "Omnislash_AttackSpeed" (a Real variable) is always -1.000 in-game, even though I pick up several items which increase BONUS_ATTACK_SPEED.

  • Omnislash
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Omnislash
    • Actions
      • Set VariableSet Omnislash_Index = (Omnislash_Index + 1)
      • Set VariableSet Omnislash_Caster[Omnislash_Index] = (Triggering unit)
      • Set VariableSet Omnislash_Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Set VariableSet Omnislash_Counter[Omnislash_Index] = 0
      • Set VariableSet Omnislash_CounterMax[Omnislash_Index] = (55 + (5 x (Level of Omnislash for Omnislash_Caster[Omnislash_Index])))
      • Set VariableSet Omnislash_CounterReal[Omnislash_Index] = 0.00
      • -------- --------
      • Custom script: set udg_Omnislash_AttackSpeed = GetUnitBonus(udg_Omnislash_Caster[udg_Omnislash_Index], BONUS_ATTACK_SPEED)

The items which I pick up also use your system, and correctly increase attack speed (I test this by attacking a dummy, and the hero does attack faster). For example, the following item:

  • elseif GetItemTypeId(i) == 'asbl' then
    • call LinkBonusToItem(u, BONUS_ARMOR, 10, i)
    • call LinkBonusToItem(u, BONUS_ATTACK_SPEED, 0.3, i)

Am I doing something wrong?


Edit (separate question):
In the NewBonusUtils is a timer, which runs at 0.03125 per second.
I assume that's the timer which is used when I call "AddUnitBonusTimed".
However, for my map, 0.25 per second is good enough.

Can I safely increase it, without destroying anything in the background?

I'm having a problem with "GetUnitBonus". I can correctly grab the current BONUS_DAMAGE of a hero, but not BONUS_ATTACK_SPEED.

GetUnitBonus returns -1 when an invalid bonus type is passed to the function, so check if you are writing the bonus type correctly. Check if the abilities match with the codes in the configuration. Check if you are passing the correct unit as well. I tested in the test map and the system manage to get the bonus attack speed fine so you either doing something wrong or you imported something incorrectly. I tested it in the latest version of the system in both vJASS and Lua.

You can change the timer timeout but make sure to change in all occurrences, although I recommend not to. That timeout is standard and will not cause any performance loss for you even when having thousands of instances so I see no point in doing it.

Thank you. Ah man, was a pretty easy fix: I just needed to add "GetUnitBonusReal".

Regarding the timer: I always read though that you should be mindful about using 0.03 sec triggers.
Is that just for old PCs that had troubles processing so many instances of events, and nowadays that's no longer an issue if you say that "you can have thousands of instances"?

Oh, you are using an older version of the system. In the latest version those functions with the Real in the end where removed and you can use one function for both real and integer bonus types.

You should be mindful when you are doing a lot of things every 0.03 seconds, but in this case it's just checking for an ability level and that is pretty fast even in JASS.

I just wanted to update to the new version (NewBonus, NOT extended), and I think there is a bug with BONUS_DAMAGE.

If my variable is a "Real" type I can get the DAMAGE_BONUS:
  • Custom script: set udg_Attack = GetUnitBonus(GetTriggerUnit(), BONUS_DAMAGE)

1624479191242.png


However, if I change the variable type to "Integer", I get an error:
  • Custom script: set udg_Attack = GetUnitBonus(GetTriggerUnit(), BONUS_DAMAGE)

1624479264392.png


Error message:

1624479286075.png


Edit: Same for Strength, Intelligence, Agility etc.
Or are we meant to always use "Real" variables, regardless if it's Magic resistance (previously Real) or Damage (previously Integer)?
