Potion Heal over Time based on Unit Attribute (It's Killing me!)

[Spartipilo]

Hi!

I've been trying to achieve this for my map but I don't know how.

I created 15 Potions (5 Healing, 5 Mana and 5 Rejuvenation, which heals both by half). with a dummy effect that lasts 10 seconds, displaying the buff. Potions are untargetable, so I pretend to use this formula to heal.

Event: A unit uses an item

---

Condition: If item id = 'Hpo1' or 'Hpo2' or 'Hpo3' or 'Hpo4' or 'Hpo5' then
Set Php = Item Potion Hit Points
Set Att = Strength of - Target unit of used item -

---

Condition: If item id = 'Mpo1' or 'Mpo2' or 'Mpo3' or 'Mpo4' or 'Mpo5' then
Set Php = Item Potion Hit Points
Set Att = Intelligence of - Target unit of used item -

---

Formula: (60 * Php) + ((0.8 x Php) * Att) / 10.
-> Heal that amount every second, per 10 seconds, checking every second if the unit has the buff 'Healing Potion'.

If 'UnitHasBuff = false' then reset everything and stop the potion effect.

I use another trigger that removes the 'Healing potion' buff when the unit has 'Poison' buff, and removes 'Mana Potion' if the unit has 'Stun' buff. That's why I need to check if the unit has the buff before healing.

If the potion is a Mana Potion, then does the same, but using 'Int' attribute.

If the Potion is 'Rejuvenation potion' Is uses both formulas / 2, like this:

Set STR = GetHeroStr (Include Bonuses)
Set INT = GetHeroInt (Include Bonuses)

Formula: (((60 * Php) + ((0.8 x Php) * STR) / 2) / 10) <- For HP
Formula: (((60 * Php) + ((0.8 x Php) * INT) / 2) / 10) <- For MANA

OR

Formula: ((30 * Php) + ((0.4 x Php) * STR) / 10 <- For HP
Formula: ((30 * Php) + ((0.4 x Php) * INT) / 10 <- For MANA

This potion has its own buff and is permanent, not removeable by Poison nor Stun..

If the unit is already under the effect of a potion, and drinks another, stops the first potion effect and begins the second potion effect...

I know this is more a request than a 'Help with a trigger'... But u know... i'm desperate

You basically want a hp and mana recovering system?

 

[Spartipilo]

Eh... well, yeah, maybe... that works that way

 

[baassee]

Maybe I can draw something up, would have been cool for the GUI users with a bit advanced stuff. Although let me think about it and VM/PM me about any specifics.

 

[Spartipilo]

Well.. that's pretty much the idea I have. It can be JASS or vJASS, as long as it remains easy to manipulate (add other buffs that removes potion effects, or manipulate the formula values).

I don't think it's too hard to use in GUI. Since it just checks some booleans (Unit has Buff) and has one or two formulas, with 3 variables (something like that) and works with a timer and hashtable...

Maybe creating a GUI interface just to manipulate options and variables, but that works with a jass/vjass system on the background.

 

[baassee]

If it would be vJASS then I'll have to add complicated features so no. But I thought about a complete regeneration system which you have to set a unit's regenerations to 0. and change in the game constants about strength and let the system control everything.

 

[Spartipilo]

Hmm.. all the game units regeneration would have to be based on that system?

 

[baassee]

Would have been more fun if it was like that but of course it shouldn't as masses of units would 'cause laggs.

 

[Spartipilo]

Uhum.. but doesn't have to be that complicated...

 

[baassee]

yeye maybe just like my spawning systems instead.

 

[Spartipilo]

Will you do it?

 

[baassee]

yeah I can probably figure something out
