[Trigger] Properly Adding/Substracting Attributes

[Beliar_]

Again me, who else could it be... The guy with the most Threads started by him in GUI section.....

Here we go again:
Since some of You might know...a while ago I was trying to change Primary attribute of the Unit with Morphing... And Because that didn't give wanted results...

I started of thinking the whole thing again, with ability based on footman's defend.
Here is the trigger for string 'defend'.

• Use Thunder Maul
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(defend))
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the hand,right of (Triggering unit) using Hammer_Big(1).mdx
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract (10 + (5 x (Level of Use Thunder Maul for (Triggering unit))))
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Add (10 + (5 x (Level of Use Thunder Maul for (Triggering unit))))

And trigger for 'undefend'

• Use Wind Blade
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(undefend))
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Create a special effect using Hammer_Big(1).mdx On (Triggering unit) 's hand,right)
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Subtract (10 + (5 x (Level of Use Thunder Maul for (Triggering unit))))
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add (10 + (5 x (Level of Use Thunder Maul for (Triggering unit))))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the hand,right of (Triggering unit) using Blade_Long.mdx

Now, to the problem(s): As you can see the trigger is modifying STR and AGI; but when I learn a new level of ability and string 'defend' is "ON".
Here comes the problem when hero undefends himself the attributes are restored with a new factor (STR losses 5 points, but AGI is 5 points higher).

The second problem is that I am using weaponless model, so I attach weapon models when this ability is learned (for default attach I use blade_long.mdx), then when uses 'defend' the blade should be removed and a new weapon used instead...also when 'undefend' is used the blade should be restored.


Help would be welcome

why not just add the attributes to the hero again when it levels up?

you know event - hero gains a level, condition triggering unit currect order is defend, action add attributes.

you could also make defend an auroa or an item i guess.

I don't want to have this solved via items, because I already have that done via buffs and item manipulation.

I would like that based on 1 ability... tell me to stop if not possible ^^

EDIT:

After some harder testing...I found out that the item version have similar issues...

 

[GST_Nemisis]

tbh the easiest way i can think of without going into the editor and playing around with it would simply be to re-add the effect when the hero levels up.

OK I solved the attachment issue with variable, but not everything
With setting variable whic contains information about attached things, and after using the defend to destroy that variable and setting of new one whic contais a new model...however thats take some time to remove old weapon so for a time instance whic is very various unit have 2 weapons...

Also there is another problem.... If unit dies with defend toggled on... after revival her stats are completely messed up(agility is a way higher than strength...)

....
:sigh: Enough of WE for today Good Night ^^

I figured out most of the things now.... There is only 1 thing that is bothering me...When unit dies under issued order ... Agility is not restored...

So I wanna know if there is a way so that when unit dies under specific order to restore her attributes after revival, tryed a few things... it restores attributes if unit dies with order or without order... some kind of stupid...

Run a loop that waits until he dies to restore the attributes

 

[Beliar_]

Can you pls tell how might that loop look?? Not the details just what to set from the head, no need to open WE for me.

It's called 'Wait for condition' actually.
Like:
Wait for ((<unit> is Dead) equal to true, checking every 0.5 seconds
--Here comes the restore part..
