[Trigger] Set max life

[Skudgemuffin]

I have a little problem. I need to set the max life of a unit via a trigger. I've searched through the actions and didn't find anything.

Thanks.

In GUI I no nothing of which that can do this... However, cant you just replace the unit with a new unit that just has a higher max life? Or is this max life based upon many different aspects of the game?

There is an action known as Unit - Set Max life of Unit, but that will not have the desired effect you're looking for. Instead, find the Item Ability that gives life +, can't remember what it's called but I think it's something in the lines of Item Ability Life +. Adding this to your unit will increase its max hp. Simply use Unit - Add Ability to Unit, and then remove the ability if you don't want him to have the bonus life.

You talkin bout these 2?

• Destructible - Set max life of (Last created destructible) to 100.00
• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to (Life of (Triggering unit))

=P

Huzzah!!! I have not thought of abilities...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. But the problem with the item abilities thing is that I have a trigger like this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -number as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set YourInteger = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 9, 12))))
    • Unit - Set life of Footman 0000 <gen> to (Real(YourInteger))

The trigger is supposed to set the life of the footman to whatever integer you type, (The problem is the last action) so I can't use item abilities. I've seen this done in a DnD map, so I know it's possible.

Hope I'm clear enough.
