[Trigger] Trigger should work but dosnt

[LookAtMyBicepts]

ok i have a simple trigger that does this:

when a unit kills another unit, the killing units max live should increase by 50.,

here is the trigger:

• KillExperiance
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Advanced - For (Killing unit) Increase life maximum by 50

i used world editor unlimited to do this trigger, but in game when one unit kills another unit nothing happens...plz help...

Have you enabled the advanced triggers?

 

[daggoth]

why don't you gtry that one?

events:
-a unit dies
conditions:
-none
actions:
-set [killing unit] max hit points = max hp of [killing unit] + 50

If you find that action daggoth, tell it to everyone!

There's no such action...

btw, there's a thread concerning about setting the units' max HP, check it out!

There's no such action...

While essentially correct, there is a way by which you can do this. Simply use a manual of health +50, and when a unit dies, create manual at position of killing unit. Then, give last created item to killing unit.

While this is probably not the most efficient way, it works alright, as long as the unit has either the hero inventory ability or a modified version of it.

Hope this helps you, LookAtMyBicepts, Daggoth, paskovich, and anyone else who struggled with this.

The first time the unit kills, it's ok, but then it's HP does not increase, as it already has the ability...

Manuals can be used infinitely, just like any other tome. I tested this just prior to posting to make sure and it worked flawlessly, with the exception of a funky image that I was too lazy to get rid of.

Alright here is how you do it...
Before this trigger runs, in any initializing trigger or something else you do

Set life = (Integer((Life of (Triggering unit))))
Set increment = 1

then in your code do

Event:
A unit dies

Condition:
blablabla...

Action:
Set (Integer((Life of (Killing Unit)))) = life + (50 x increment)
Set increment = increment + 1

I hope this works for you

DoOs, he wants to increase the units MAXIMUM hp, and not the current... Read!!!
Anyway, what does your trigger supposed to do???

Wait a minute my code is to set a new maximum hp. Since the action trigger Set Set (Integer((Life of (Killing Unit)))) = LIFE + (50 x increment) can extend beyond the unit's original maximum hp right? So for example if a unit's hp is 100 and it's maximum is 150.
Then it's hp will be set to a new one, which is 150+50. If he kills again then 150+100...

The variable LIFE should be set to the units original maximum hp.

Well you should try this trigger and see if it works

Well, it doesn't and it shouldn't. You basically used a really complex method to do something really simple. The set life function cannot set a units life to a value that is greater than the max life of the unit. Nice try though.

I still say that manuals of health, as I said above, would be an effective and quick way of solving the problem, but whatever...

 

[paskovich]

No! YOU should try that trigger and see that it does NOT work. I'm 100% sure without trying...

 

[DoOs_101]

Well it should work... if infact you can set the health above the unit's original maximum hp with that line expression.

How so? I know that it has never worked for me, and apparently paskovitch hasn't found any luck with that function either, yet you claim it is possible. If you can get it to work, by all means, tell us so we can use it too, but I think you will find the same amount of success as the rest of us have found...

lol, THIS is easiest and simplest way to solve this. there's no need for anything more complex

Thanks. Glad someone has some common sense...
