[Trigger] % of Strength gain

[Just_Spectating]

Is it possible to increase a unit's strength based on a percent of the units strength? (a battle shout kind of ability)

ive come to know that attribute gain can only be used with whole numbers, so i was wondering if there was a way to round the decimal to the nearest whole value so it can be added.

any ideas?

Damn, that's hard.

I had a similar problem a while ago. Read this for your answer and keep in mind what's said in post #4.

To get a %value of strength as bonus you have to convert the strength to real:

• Set YourHero = Your hero //self explaning :)
• Set YourPercentValue = 25.00 // For a bonus of 25%
• Hero - Modify Strength of YourHero: Add (Integer((((Real((Kraft of YourHero (Exclude bonuses)))) / 100.00) x YourPercentValue))) //Adds 25% of the basestrength of yourhero

i also would add the difference beetwen the old and the new value cause its only a spell which shouldnt last forever.
If you dont have values like 100k str you may make a abilty with 100 lvl which gives 1 str for every lvl and at the right one when the spell is casted. Remove it later.

If he wants it like battle shout, then its going to be an aoe buff (roar), so the value will be different for every unit affected.

Yes u can......... First make ...

Set Integer1 = Strenght of the hero ... example = 20

Okay now we have .... Set Integer1 = 20

Then Set Integer1 = (20/100) x (the percent u want) ...

If u want it 10% ..... then ... Set Integer1 = (20/100) x (10) = 2 strenght ...

Then add it to the hero when he level up ... simple

Can we please stop posting here already? The percentage question has already been answered trice, while I don't think that's really his question because it's too simple and he's an experienced mapper. I think his real question was how to get numbers rounded to the nearest full number, which I already explained.

So please stop posting more posts here, because his question is solved unless he encounters problems, doesn't understand it or has more questions.

(20/100) x (10)

why?

just STR * 1.20 = 20% increase

@RMX and Ciebron

If i have 48 strength, then 1.20 (20%) would = 57.6, therefore, warcraft will not input this number and the trigger will be innactive.

only whole number integers are counted when dealing with attribute modifications.

And to that, I gave you your answer.

Try converting the strength to a real variable, then set the strength to "Convert Real to Integer" and set your variable (which represents the strength) there.
It will round the real down, so the 57.6 will become 57

Convert your value to inte---- oh wait, this was answered already 20 times. :icon_sarcasm:

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah, avator was the first one to actually solve this.

anyway, hoping if you guys could help with the next problem.

After adding the amount of strength, i need to remove it once the buff wears off.
any ideas?

 

[ap0calypse]

Create a timer that starts when the ability is cast and ends in X seconds (= spell duration).
When the timer ends, revert the strength.

 

[GhostWolf]

The easiest way actually would be to use a simple local and a wait (seeing as it's probably more then one second, who cares about the accuracy), as this shows, assuming you want the triggering unit.
I didn't put the actual Jass actions because you might want to use the GUI-Local bug.

• Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
• Add attribute to u
• Sleep
• Remove attribute from u

 

[Just_Spectating]

its not only the triggering unit, but allied heros within 600 of it as well

 

[GhostWolf]

In that case change that to an array, would require a bit more Jass.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just store the ammount added. If the spell is recast or expires, remove the ammount added.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i found a way, that i think might be MUI but is definitely MPI, and since this is an RPG, MPI is good enough.

I had posted a (sort of) solution to that earlier in this thread, then realised it wasn't what you asked and deleted it :/
