Play with unit's max HP,available?

[Nisim]

Ther is anyway to modify a unit's (non hero) max HP?

I know ther is that "Item Life Bonus" thingy but the problem is that this ability gives hp equal to it's level 1 only (somewhy) so its not that useful if I wanna add non-specific amount of hp (got an always-changing varable integer and I want to set the unit's max HP to the amount of that varable...)

Sorry for my crappy spelling, hope someone understood my problem ;/

i think this can only be accomplished by jass, if it can be accomplished at all

otherwise, best way i can think of is make 20 of the hp bonus skill
10 of them with a different order ID
this way you can stack say a bonus 800 hp and a bonus 60 hp together, and u get the total bonus of 860
in other words you can merge 2 digits together, instead of making like, 100 abilities for each value. if u make 30 of these abilities and 3 order ids, then u can have 1000 combinations, and so on. use arrays to sort these abilities, and this should be pretty easy to do

Sounds too massive...
And what will be if I will want to modify 100 unit's max HP? -lag to crush?

Or i did'nt got you right, you meant each unit will have 20 abilities that change it's max HP or...?

And btw, whats up with the Item Life Bonus ability, why if I make it 100-levels ability, set all the HP bonus value per level and then when I add it to a unit via a trigger, increase it's level but still, the HP bonus value does not increase, why is that?
I can approve that:

This is all you need
P.s. And yes, it uses item's bonus life, but in a smart way.

Well... thanks dude but seems to be that I got screwed, I still did'nt learned JASS...

Anyways, +REP

if I am not wrong HP tomes work for unit.

I was just in the editor messing around after seeing this post. Can anyone tell me if there is harm done in the way I decided to use this:

Make a 2-level ability based on Item Life Bonus. Level 1 is a bonus of 1, Level 2 is a bonus of 0.

• Unit - Add ability to Hero
• Unit - Increase level of ability for Hero
• Unit - Remove ability from Hero

This adds 1 HP to the target unit, I have been using it in loops to great effect. Is this method ok and will it cause leaks or anything?

This is exciting since it is a fun stat I can add to new abilities in my map.

Less function calls = Happier computer.

Therefore, if you need to add, say, 400 life, calling the AddUnitAbility (or whatever it's called, I don't give a shnitzel) 400 times would be awesomely inefficient.

That's why you make a few abilities, for example 1,2,4,8,16,32,-1,-2,-4,-8,-16,-32 and then you put a loop with some if's to determine what ability to add next.
This is how the Max HP/MP system works, by the way.

As to tomes - it requires you to have a inventory which doesn't always look good.

The set Unit max state, has 2 abilities, one for mana and one for life.
With multiple levels(7).
lvl 1: 0
lvl 2: 1
lvl 3: 10
lvl 4: 100
lvl 5: -1
lvl 6: -10
lvl 7: -100
Tomes require only that the unit does not have a unit inventory.

Well, if you wonder how I made it in GUI trigger then I did it like this:

• Calculate Health
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Max Health --------
    • Set Count_Integer = 0
    • Set Count_Integer = (((Stat_Stamina[(Player number of Picked Player)] x Stat_Stamina[(Player number of Picked Player)]) / 10) + 10)
    • Set Count_Integer = (Count_Integer + (Integer(((Real((Count_Integer x Statpower_MaxhealthPerc[(Player number of Picked Player)]))) / 100.00))))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Max life of Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]) Equal to (Real(Count_Integer))
      • Then - Actions
        • Skip remaining actions
      • Else - Actions
    • Set SaveItem = (Item carried by Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)] in slot 1)
    • Set SaveReal = (Life of Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)])
    • Hero - Drop SaveItem from Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Max life of Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]) Greater than (Real(Count_Integer))
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Count_Integer = ((Integer((Max life of Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]))) - Count_Integer)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Count_Integer Greater than 0
          • Then - Actions
            • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Count_Integer, do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Hero - Create Health Change -1 and give it to Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]
                • Hero - Order Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)] to use (Item carried by Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)] in slot 1)
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Set Count_Integer = (Count_Integer - (Integer((Max life of Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]))))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Count_Integer Greater than 0
          • Then - Actions
            • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Count_Integer, do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Hero - Create Health Change +1 and give it to Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]
                • Hero - Order Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)] to use (Item carried by Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)] in slot 1)
          • Else - Actions
    • Hero - Give SaveItem to Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)]
    • Unit - Set life of Hero[(Player number of Picked Player)] to SaveReal
    • Set SaveReal = 0.00

I will explane the details a bit later, gotta go now...
