Trigger Not Setting HP Correctly

[khamarr3524]

This is a trigger I am having run to set the life of a unit. Is there a leak in it or is it a math issue? What's going on with this trigger. It's only leaving base hp.

• Grubmunch HP
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Wave 1 through 15 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Grubmuncher
  • Actions
    • Set Boss_unit[1] = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Set life of Boss_unit[1] to ((Max life of Boss_unit[1]) x (Real(PlayersAvailable)))

What is it supposed to do? What i can see is that when boss enters an region, it's HP will be set to max.

 

[khamarr3524]

The trigger is supposed to set the max health of the selected unit to the max health at the start (or replace that with 1000) x Real PlayersAvailable which means that it will set its health to 1000xPlayers.

Wait, are you trying to change the unit's MAX LIFE via triggers? cuz that doesn't work out. ''Set Life of >unit<'' means that you'll be healing the unit, not giving increased max health.

 

[khamarr3524]

There's no way to change Max Life of a unit through triggers?

 

[khamarr3524]

I guess I can just make 4 levels of the boss and have them saved to a variable and spawned.

 

[Duhcake]

Propably not. I've only used GUI so i wouldn't know if it was possible via JASS... But no, its not possible with gui. All u could do is to make an research that increases the boss's health and run it via triggers...

Edit: yeah, or that. Don't double post btw Nawt cool dawg

Thought i edited Sorry D:

There is no way to edit ANY unit related thing in both GUI and Jass. The only way is to create abilities based on a unit max hp increaser ability( dunno name and WE not open ) for example it gives 10000 HP. You create 12 of it( Max player ) and add as much of them to the Boss as many player here. This is the only known way and I recommend it for you too.

You could add an ability to the boss, giving it an amount of hitpoints depending on the number of players.
When you got 4 players, you need 2 abilities (from item ability changed to unit ability; levles don't work here).
1hero: do nothing (boss base hp)
2heroes: ability+1000hp
3heroes: ability +2000hp
4: +both abilities

 

[Duhcake]

You're propably talking about an item ability? Yeah that works too x)

 

[khamarr3524]

I don't know if this is proper or not, but this is the trigger I came up with to fix this.

• Grubmunch HP
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Wave 1 through 15 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Grubmuncher (1 Player)
  • Actions
    • Set tempLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Boss_unit[1] = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Boss_unit[1] from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 Grubmuncher[PlayersAvailable] for Neutral Hostile at tempLoc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc)

Players Available is an integer variable set by my initialization counting all players. Grubmuncher is a Unit-Type variable set in intialaization to 4 different Grubmuncher creeps with the base hp needed (My map is only 4 players) I think this should work no?

1. Use tomes (warning, tome items are not removed after use and so can be called a leak).
2. Use the broken mechanic of how the +HP item ability levels to permantly change the unit's health as it does not remove the correct HP at levels greater than 1. (Warning, this will bug and can crash under certain conditions such as if the unit undergoes a chaos morph).
3. Use a series of parallel single level HP bonuses to increase the hitpoints as you wish. Usually done in powers of 2 and is the most common way to boost HP.
4. Make the unit a hero and boost his strength as strength usually is set to add HP.
