[Trigger] Percentage HP instead of Flat hp

[Dominic74]

So i have this aura that adds Hp, when ever other units are near by.
Is there anyway to increase their hp by X% of ther own max instead of adding flat hp?

I think it would be easier to modify unholy aura and just change the -Data Percent Bonus- Field to True

But if you wanna use a trigger, you could do this

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to (((Max life of (Picked unit)) x 0.01) + (Life of (Picked unit)))

Does this add the value permanent`?

The "maximum life" option would be permanent. Just "life" is the unit's current HP.

In StarCraft II this would be easy as buff behaviours support percentage life bonus...

In Warcraft III you will need to create a maximum life modification system. There are generally 2 ways to do this.

1. Use modify maximum life item ability with multiple levels. A bug in the code means that it does not change modify amount upon ability level change yet will still remove the appropriate amount of life for the current level on ability removal. Add the ability, set it to a different level with different life amount and then remove it to permanently modify the unit life. For example setting it so level 1 adds 100 health and level 2 adds 0 health, adding it to your unit, setting it to level 2 and then removing the ability will result in your unit having 100 more maximum life. Works to both increase and decrease maximum life.
2. Use tomes of life. All units can use tomes of life, even non heroes. An inventory ability can be given to the unit temporarily to allow tome usage. Tome items must be removed after use to avoid leaks. Tomes of life support both positive and negative maximum life modification.

One will have to track the amount of maximum life added to a unit to avoid any permanent modification the unit's maximum life when no longer under the aura. Sudden changes to unit maximum life, eg hero level up, might be difficult to reflect with the ability until the unit leaves the aura.

Actually there is an even easier way in Warcraft III, the third way is using player handicaps. Keep in mind you'll likely want to reserve a neutral player slot for this that you aren't using for players and/or enemies. Also by using this third method everything is already in percent for you. Ever wanted to change life without needing to glitch it through abilities?
