References in the object editor

[micca]

I need some help with references in the object editor.

I know you can use something like <n000,uhpm> to reference a data, but for me it always shows 0.

Does it even work?

Yeah it works in game but doesn't in the editor was a bit annoying at first before i realised.

 

[micca]

Oh, right. I was also putting a wrong string into it, but it works now.

Is there a way to use these codes in calculations?

For example I want to show dps, so can I calculate it within the tooltip?

Edit: It only seems to work for unit HP I can get it to work for anything else.

Is it possible to dynamically change tooltips ingame via trigger for units, researchers like it is for abilities?

This formula "<n000,uhpm>" doesn't work for anything else than unit HP. And I really want to avoid manually typing all the stats of all units and everytime I need to balance them manually change it again.

The damage ones should work but I can't remember the codes for them, try cntrl D to see the data fields. Or look at Summon Spirit Wolves for the damage fields.

Yeah its "mindmg1", but it shows incorrect value. it should be 4, but it shows 10.

Interesting, can I see your dam, no of dice and sides etc? For the unit in question.

Yeah that is weird, does the summon feral spirit ability show the correct numbers?

 

[micca]

Yes, it does. In fact it does so for all non-custom units. I just noticed the standard bandit has 10 min damage. It doesn't notice any custom change.

Huh I see, I'd report it to the Blizzard forums as a bug.

 

[micca]

I may be blind, but I don't understand how to post anything on bliz forums. I don't see any options.
