No idea how to do this trigger

[Recklessness]

So I want to know if it is possible to make a GUI trigger that will modify a heroes attributes constantly based off of his other attributes. For example one of my heroes has a passive that increases his Agility by 20% of whatever his Strength is. Problem is I cant figure out a way to make that number constantly refresh considering there are items that give strength as well as by leveling up.

If you don't have all the sources, just poll periodically.

I'm sorry I don't think I totally understand. Essentially all I want the trigger to do is when the hero learns that ability from that moment on his Agility is increased by 20% of whatever his Strength is.

Something like this.

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
  • (Level of AgiToStrAbility for HeroUnit) Greater than 0
• Actions
  • Set BaseAgi = (starting strength of hero) + (str per level x level of hero)
  • // Getting the base agi just so it doesn't keep adding up
  • Set Str = (Strength of hero x 0.20)
  • Hero - Set Agility of HeroUnit to (BaseAgi + Str)

Both variables are integers. You can find the relevant functions yourself as I can't use the Editor right now.

So I tried to do it as you said, but somehow it still does not add correctly and does not seem to work for when I equip an item oddly enough. Also when my hero has 18 Intelligence 15% of that is 2.7 and I have noticed before that the game either rounds up or down, but for some reason it only added 2 strength, do you think changing the variables from integers to real may fix that?

EDIT:

The heroes base Strength is 14 and technically it is adding the bonus 15% Intelligence correctly (2.1), but with an item equipped it should be adding (4.35)

I changed the bonus integer into a real and it seemed to of had resolved the issue... weird...

Hello,

Integers are whole numbers. They do not have fractions.
As such 0.15 converted to Integer is 0.
Also, they always round down, meaning that 0.99 is also 0.

To use fractions, you have to use Reals.

Hope this helps!

Then again, the modifying hero attributes actions only accept integers.
