Increasing Max HP

[Titanhex]

I was curious as I couldn't find a way to do this. How do you increase a units max HP or MP, or even give bonus damage?

I have a summoning spell with 5 levels. Instead of making 5 different units I'd like to use a single unit and just increase it's HP, MP, and Damage upon summon. I already have most the trigger set up and working except for this part, which I can't figure out.

This ability needs to be Multi-Unit instancable. Meaning if there's two of these heroes out for the same player, both need to be able to cast different levels of it without bugs.

Use upgrades.

When the ability levels. (if it can) then you just make like five units but only change the stats and you change the summons of the ability at other levels to that unit you just made.

Uhhm... what? I just said I'd like to avoid making five units. Why would you tell me to do something I am trying to avoid?

I'll look into the whole upgrade thing, but without any direction I'll probably have to wade through a few things before I find the right upgrade to use. Even then, will it work if there are multiple heroes out with that skill? Or will the upgrading likely mess it up? In other words, is the upgrade method MUI?

Use upgrades.

One word: No.

Use bugged abilities, or use a system that use them, such as this.

I'm thinkin you could use the item abilities that give those bonuses, convert them to unit abilities (just uncheck item ability in the object editor), give them 5 levels, and set the level of those abilities to the level of the hero ability when they're summoned.

I don't think your idea will work properly, Richard. Blade'dk's description of the system seemed to hint towards odd life changes via the skill data, requiring the system to implement it properly.

I'll see if I cna't use the system. I believe there's some much older variation of it in this map.

No, it won't work.
You don't need the system if you just want to change some stats.
The fact is this: if you add an bonus as unit ability, the first level of it will apply, but if you change the level it wont work. While removing the ability, it will undo the "undone" work.
Example:
Level 1 200 HP
Level 2 400 HP

You add the ability and the unit will get 200 HP. Now you set the ability to 400, but it wont work and the bonus is still 200. Now you remove the ability and Wc3 will "add" -400 Hp because its level 2.
Now you do this:
Level 1 0 HP
Level 2 -200 HP.
Add Ability, set level to 2 and remove the ability. Wc3 will "undo" the -200 HP and add 200 HP to the unit.

Ahhh, yeah! that's how blade.dk described it.

Okay, I'll try this.
