Hero Regen?

I know it has been asked before, but I was hoping someone had found a way to disable this. I really need it just turned off. I know even in the TFT expansion, heros still regen do to their stats, but I was hoping for a trigger, or perhaps there is something I overlooked among all the new lines of editing. Thanks.

Make them mechanical. Shuts it right off. Cant be healed tho. Only repaired.

Not sure what you meant, Earth. Set strength to 0? Well, can't do that. Or at least, not in the normal editor. I actually did set all stats to 1 and they still regen, just slowly.
But the mechanical thing should work, except now I'll have to find a way to heal them using spells...hmm...but something to play with. Hmm...just tried setting the unit classification to mechanical, I assume that is what you meant? It didn't work. Still regen.

Unholy Aura allows mechanical units to regenerate. Fun stuff.

Why wouldn't you want heroes to regenerate?

ok, thanks for that info. I need it where they have a set amount of life and mana without regen so that they can only gain life/mana from items or spells. However, I caqn't use normal units because I need them to level up, be able to learn skills/spells, and have an inventory.

Reduce health by triggers. I think it's 0.1 HP per second per strength point. Else, calculate that.

hmm...yeah, I was hoping to avoid that. You'd figure blizzard would set it so if you set regen to NONE, it would be none, even for heroes...*sigh* well, I'll keep trying it. For some reason, I can't set them to mechanical. Or I can't find it or something. I'm using the TFT editor, so there is a ton of extra stuff. Maybe I can find something since it doesn't seem there is going to be an easy way around this.

You need a advanced editor for that. Get umswe or the w3m map utilities. Or since you are using the TFT editor all you need is the unit editor.

Can't you just set Health Regeneration to never? Or does that not work with heroes?

No, none doesn't work on heros. Hivemind, how can the unit editor keep my unit from regen? Or I assume that you mean to set it to mechanical? Or did you mean a seperate program? TIA.

Unit editor is a seporate program that should be in pop tools and or the download section. It should be able to reset a unit to machanical.

couldnt you set the regeneration type to only during the night and then make it stay always daytime? if that doesn't work, i think making a formula for canceling out the regeneration with triggers is your best bet...

Dont know about TFT WE but in the old one heroes worked differently than regular units with regen. We didnt try to stop the regen, we tried to make it realy fast. No matter what we set the rate to it still worked off of stats. Worked fine for other units but no at all for heroes. We think he is running into a simular issue.

With the new TFT WE this has become very easy to do.

1. set your here regeneration rate to 0 in the unit editor.

2. go to advanced/gameplay constants in the WE menu.
There you can set how much regeneration a hero gets for each
strength point he has. just set this to 0 too and you are all
done.

:D

Do note that this means that NO hero on your map will increase his regeneration rate anymore when you set it to 0 in gameplay constants. they will only have whatever regeneration rate you set in the unit editor.
