[Produtor]

Another one of Tasyen's subscription systems, I wish Blizzard had the same dedication to Warcraft as you and the community here at Hivework Shop.

Apparently it adds a skill that has a bonus that it will increase to the Hero, but how does it increase CastPoint and CastBackswing?

And another thing, will there be a Jass version?

 

[Tasyen]

And another thing, will there be a Jass version?

I will not make a vjass version of this. vjass cant do this dynamic function mapping which is a core feature.

but how does it increase CastPoint and CastBackswing?

castpoint and castbackswing are unit stats when an ability is gained the ability copies the unit's current castpoint & castbackswing values.
To make already owned abilities be cast faster you would change the unit castpoint then lose the castable spells from the unit and readd them.

Edit: would be easier when one would have the ability_RealFields for castpoint but sadly no, so only doable by readding spells.

Updated to V1.2b)
Added the addon TasUnitBonusHero, I forgot to port it from my map.
TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd does not use numbers as key anymore. "1" is still allowed 1 not.
TasUnitBonusHero manages TasUnitBonuses on level ups for any hero [0] and [unit] and [RawCode].

TasUnitBonusHero[FourCC'Hpal'] = { -- paladin levelup Bonus
 Str = 1
 ,["DMG+"] = 5 -- gain 5 Bonus ATK every LevelUp
 ,[2] = { Ability = FourCC'AHbz'} -- at level 2 add Blizzard
 ,[4] = {["STR+"] = 12}
}

Edit:
V1.2c)
fixed serious bugs of TasUnitBonusHero.

You're so talented, I also wish I knew how to make an off-screen interface like that, but this is way beyond my level, like the photo I posted, you can do for those positions is add a container Hero's items?

 

[Tasyen]

You're so talented,

I trained many years. in gui, then java and some other none warcraft 3 stuff, after that jass, then i trained Lua and warcraft 3 custom UI (was quite bad at some point in that subject). But y, I guess have talent for some parts of math/order.
TasUnitBonus is the result of systems, I wrote before, some not public released and only for my map or as a experiment. In that systems I encountered the problem that I needed to give unit stats and so I came to this idea. My Talent system is one of these concept-ancestors it has a stat systems by Lua tables.

One can create many types of ui but warcraft 3 frames are based on rectangles -> images are easier than models. One can create a custom ui with buttons to contain: items like a bag, yes. I made such and some others did as well. Making more default item/command/hero buttons is not doable with the ui-frame api. In such a case one would need to recreate the whole feature.

TasItemBag

Introduction TasItemBag is a custom UI system/addition for Warcraft 3 V1.31 or higher, in vjass or Lua. It adds additional item storage. An unit can still only equip 6 items (use their boni). Details The storage UI is a grid of buttons, each contains upto one item. One can scroll up and down by...

TasInventoryEx

Introduction TasInventoryEx is a custom UI system/addition for Warcraft 3 V1.31 or higher, In vjass or Lua. With it heroes can equip more items (use item-boni). There is a version (jass or vjass) for Warcraft 3 V1.26 without customUI, using an Unit as substitude. Details The storage UI is a...

The image shows TasCheatbox, if one wonders, i added that as demo to have some tester super powers like dispel buffs and such.
normaly the 3 & 4 page would create items & units but in this map the were replaced with "cheats" using TasUnitBonus.

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V1.3)
added 4 prebuilt stats

2 over skills
"PRIMARY+"
"LIFE_STEAL+" item lifesteal

2 but they dont work in V1.31.1 cause they use Unit Weaponfields.
AttackRange
AttackRangeR

AttackRangeR is AttackRange but wont do anthing if the unit is not ranged.

improved AbilityInc
now should be able to decrease current level like key Ability with a -value.

What common important stat is missing?

Ported another addon TasUnitBonusItemTooltip. Updates item tooltips to include the stats given by that item + itemCode. Items only use this feature when you call it onto it.
TasUnitBonusItemTooltip(item)

TasUnitBonusItemTooltip replaces a placeholder: There are 2 options.
$ replaces all tooltip
$item inser the StatList here keep the rest as it is.

I think all addons for TasUnitBonus are now ported.

 

[Tasyen]

I think all addons for TasUnitBonus are now ported.

I was wrong. Still got one that gives TasUnitBonus when a hero learns a skill. But I cant port the version from my map, it has weird featues and was constructed for 1 level skills only that give another bonus after dozens of levels and maybe (also/only) affecting other units.

Could make an simpler version that works kinda like TasUnitBonusHero. Would then be called TasUnitBonusLearn.

Edit:
Updated, includes now the addon TasUnitBonusLearn, should be suited for the normal warcraft 3 Learning system.
TasUnitBonusLearn uses the same format as TasUnitBonusHero it does not have the any key with 0 and instead of hero level, skill levels matter, it also can be called from the outside.
TasUnitBonusLearnAction(unit, spellCode, learnedLevel)

TasUnitBonusLearn[FourCC'AHhb'] = { -- HolyLight
  ["DMG+"] = 3 -- 3 Bonus ATK every time Skilled
 ,[2] = { Str = 10} -- Skilling level 2 10 base Str
}

 

[Tasyen]

Applied a small Fix V1.4)
the key AttackRange of TasUnitBonus wrongly used udg_Unit the demo map test unit.

 

[Antares]

Adds a new supported type by key the function runs when a request to add to this key.
The function needs to do the inc.
instead of a function you can give an already existing key to make key do the same.

I don't know what that means.

Please use an AI assistant like ChatGPT to help you with the translation or have someone help you with the documentation. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be happy to.

The description in the OP is fine, but for the comments in the code, I just don't know what it's trying to tell me.

It doesn't help that the formatting is all messed up. It looks like the scope in TasUnitBonus is closed on line 34. Please fix the indentation and add some empty lines.

I'm sure the code itself is superb as always, but we're trying to be more stringent when it comes to documentation, as to increase the accessibility of this section.

Awaiting Update

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V1.5)
improved api comments
key Ability; ability survives morphs
seperated TasUnitBonusSkill more from TasUnitBonus
Added Key Tech, it increases/decreases a Research by 1.

TasUnitBonusHero mentions that a Hero benefits from upto 3 tabels at once [0] [GetUnitTypeId] & [unit]
TasUnitBonusItem mentions that an item supports boh at the same time [GetItemTypeId] & [item]

 

[Regno]

Can have jass? (no vJass)

 

[Tasyen]

I will not make a (v)jass version of TasUnitBonus.

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V1.6)
List bases Types below the TasUnitBonus function.

Ability, AbilityInc & Tech now do the FourCC when needed and work better in TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd.

Added addon TasUnitBonusBuffTable a "clone" of TasUnitBonusBuff, but instead of multiargs it works by a bonusTable like used in TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd

TasUnitBonusBuffTable.add(unit, 'Binf', {Life = 200, Str = 5})

The demo for it

-- example for TasUnitBonusBuffTable
do
    local bonusInvis = {["MOVE+"]=500}
    local bonusBlood = {Ability='AIae'}

    function DemoSpellCast()
        local unit = GetSpellTargetUnit()
        -- the spellcasts tell TasUnitBonusBuff how much to add for a given buffCode
    --Invis buff gives 500 movespeed
        if GetSpellAbilityId() == FourCC'Aivs' then TasUnitBonusBuffTable.add(unit, 'Binv', bonusInvis) end
    

    -- inner fire gives hero str
    -- first cast adds 15, recast give 5 more; 15 20 25 30
        local buffCode = FourCC'Binf'
        if GetSpellAbilityId() == FourCC'Ainf' then
            local value = 0
            local buffData = TasUnitBonusBuffTable.Data[buffCode]
            if buffData and buffData[unit] then value = buffData[unit]["STR+"] end
            if value  < 15 then value = 15 else value  = value + 5 end
            TasUnitBonusBuffTable.add(unit, buffCode, {["STR+"]= value}) end

    -- bloodlust gives an endurance aura
        if GetSpellAbilityId() == FourCC'ACbb' then TasUnitBonusBuffTable.add(unit, 'Bblo', bonusBlood) end    
    end    
end

Edit: Updated to V1.6a)
improved performance for TasUnitBonusBuffTable rebuffing the same thing an unit already has.

Edit: Updated to V1.7)
TasUnitBonusBuffTable can now be called directly,
fixed a posible desync reason with bonusTable
NewType copies the flag in FourCCValueKey for the copied key.
added Clone Types, they do the same as the normal but allow one bonus to apply 4 different abilities/techs
Ability2 Ability3 Ability4
AbilityInc2 AbilityInc3 AbilityInc4
Tech2 Tech3 Tech4

Edit: Updated to V1.7a)
Fixed an critical bug of V1.7 which broke TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd after an level up.

TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd(bonusTable, bonusTable, add)
-> TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd(unit, bonusTable, add)
therefore all addons were updated aswell.

changed some comments.

Edit: Updated to V1.7b)
updated a small typo in the unsupported key metatable

 

[Antares]

A nice collection of quality-of-life libraries that make adding/removing abilities and stat bonuses much easier. Almost any stat/ability is included and the system can easily be expanded to include your own types.

Approved

 

[Bain_Rebirth]

What are the key differences that separate this from Cbopinski’s New Bonus? I Is there a difference in performance? I would love if a newer and more efficient alternative has become available.

What I have found is that this system modifies the base stats via natives thus changing the white numbers. While New bonus uses abilities (requiring object editor) and modifies the green numbers.

 

[Tasyen]

The key difference is one can add more easy new stats/keys to TasUnitBonus, even without touching the TasUnitBonus code. This custom stats can be any number array, it is simple to use an GUI array. While keys also could target more complicated fields like UnitData[unit].Stats.Str, although here one needs to write a add function (oneline function).

The addons handle the events to apply the stats, therefore one can setup TasUnitBonuses just as data at map init or such like the demos show. learning skills, buffs, items, level-Ups can give any TasUnitBonus. (except for buffs these need an runtime event in which the bonus is applied to an specific unit)

Level-up demo for Paladins.

TasUnitBonusHero[FourCC'Hpal'] = { -- paladin levelup Bonus
 Str = 1
 ,["DMG+"] = 5 -- gain 5 Bonus ATK every LevelUp
 ,[2] = { Ability = FourCC'AHbz'} -- at level 2 add Blizzard
 ,[4] = {["STR+"] = 12}
}

TasUnitBonus only adds/takes away stats, it can not tell you how much you have.
The default keys of TasUnitBonus change base stats. The Addon TasUnitBonusSkill adds keys to add green stats which need abilities.

I dont know about performance diffs, wasnt my goal to perform faster than new Bonus, I wanted this data setup outside of events.

TasUnitBonus can not be used in (v)jass mode maps.

 

[Tasyen]

uploaded a small update V1.8)
TasUnitBonus.AddSimpleType has now an optional second arg. When provided it will create an new global array with the key in _G, this array returns 0 like the GUI arrays.
TasUnitBonus.AddSimpleType("MyUnitStat", true) -> add "MyUnitStat" to TasUnitBonus and also create such an array.
TasUnitBonus.AddSimpleType("MyUnitStat") -> only add "MyUnitStat" to TasUnitBonus.


TasUnitBonus.Heal a config when true the Key Life & Mana will increase current Life/Mana, default enabled.

Added TasUnitBonusBuffTable.get(unit, buffCode). It returns the current bonusTable for this unit & buffCode or nil.

Added a new Demo that shows buff stacking, but only 2 rebuffs make the buff better, This demo uses a finite amount of tables, made at the beginning.

local frostArmor = {
    {}
    ,{Life = 100}
    ,{Life = 100, LifeReg = 5}
}
-- Frost armog gives with the first rebuff 100 HP with the second Rebuff also HP/s
local buffCode = FourCC'BUfa'
if GetSpellAbilityId() == FourCC'ACfa' then
    local currentBonus = TasUnitBonusBuffTable.get(unit, buffCode)
    local newBonus = currentBonus
    if not currentBonus then newBonus = frostArmor[1]
    elseif currentBonus == frostArmor[1] then newBonus = frostArmor[2]
    elseif currentBonus == frostArmor[2] then newBonus = frostArmor[3]
    end
    TasUnitBonusBuffTable(unit, buffCode, newBonus)
end

 

[Tasyen]

Updated to V1.9)
TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd supports now a second format for the bonusTable. instead of a map it can now be an array, it automatic chooses the currently used format when called. The array format takes less performance. The performance difference grows with the amount of stats one bonusTable includes.
map = {Str = 2, Agi = 7, Int = 5 }
array = {"Str",5, "Agi", 3, "Int", 2 }

Most of the addons use TasUnitBonus.UnitAdd. Therefore they also support the new format. The 2 formats can not be mixed in one bonusTable. As soon the conditions for array are fullfilled, then the map keys are ignored. The array conditions are the bonusTable has [1] & [2] and [1] is a string.
TasUnitBonusHero can only use the map format when you want that a hero gains bonuses at level x and also every level. With only a every level bonus you can use the array format. the bonus applied by Level x, can use the array format even when the hero bonusTable can not.
