Stacking HP bonus to a unit

[Marsmallos]

Hey, I'm trying to do what is described at the end of this post: http://www.wc3c.net/showpost.php?p=1106980&postcount=10

I've made a HP bonus ability based on the Item Life Bonus ability, and add it to a unit when I type the chat message -HPadd. It works once, but it doesn't stack, like the above post claims that it can. I e, if i type -HPadd again the unit's HP remains unchanged. Why doesn't it work/how do I achieve what I'm looking for?

Post your triggers.

• Add HP test
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -HPadd as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add (HP) Test to P_HERO

P_HERO is set at the beginning of the game and not changed after that. It works the first time I type -HPadd but the Hp bonus doesn't stack if I type -HPadd again

If I run this trigger the HP is removed, and can be added again trhough the first trigger. The problem is that it doesn't stack if I run the "Add HP Test" trigger multiple times.

• Remove HP test
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -HPrem as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (HP) Test from P_HERO

BonusMod will be the best option for this kind of stuff.

Thanks! Could you explain how this works? Is it using some bug with the Item Life Bonus ability? Could it be possible to remove the added HP as well? (Or remove HP in a similar stacking fashion?)

 

[Maker]

Yes, it is using the life bug.

You can remove the bonus by giving the ability one more level and setting the bonus to +25.

Or you could use the life gain from a tome and for the removal, make a negative version.

Tomes need to be cleared with triggers, otherwise they stay there forever. And they trigger "A Unit acquires an item" event. I'd rather use the ability.

Use Item Cleanup by Bribe right?
