how do I change normal unit stats eg the terran space marine? I have checked all the variables in the unit tab in the object editor but there doesnt seem to be one for strength, intelligence or agility except for heros - is there a trigger which does this? If anyone knows how to change normal unit stats i'd be gratefull for the info.
also I'd like to know the formula for the relationship between armour and percentage damage reduction if anyone has it.

A normal unit doesn't have strength, intelligence or agility. However..

All: You change Attack Damage at: Combat - Attack 1/2 - Damage Base
Strength: You change HP at: Stats - Hit Point Maximum (Base)
Strength: You change Health Regeneration at: Stats - Hit Points Regeneration Rate
Intelligence: You change Mana Pool at: Stats - Mana Maximum
Intelligence: You change Mana Regeneration at: Stats - Mana Regeneration
Agility: You change Attack Speed at: Combat - Attack 1/2 - Cooldown Time
Agility: You change Armor Rating at: Combat - Defense Base

if you want to turn a normal unit into a hero, use a hero as the base unit then change the model and the sound set

It works like this.


X Amount of Damage inflicted to X unit. Unit has X amount of Damage Reduction. Deduct X amount of damage from enemy attacking you.

I don't think that's what he meant... more like, "if a unit has X armor, what will the damage reduction percentage be?"

Besides, don't use the same variable (in this case X) for all the different parts. Make clear what is X and what is Y, and you will be understood.

Yeah sorry I will do that from now on.

Anyway the only way to see the damage reduction I belive is to play the game and select the unit you want then hover over the Defense icon (you know the one below the attack info) and it will show how much damage reduction percentage is.

well that takes the piss and that is what i was askin morre, since im currently working on a very quick game involving units with extremely high armour one hp and very low attack damage so theres a chance a unit will do no damage i really need the exact damage reduction for certain armour levels but thanks for trying
