reforester spell/ability problem.

I wanted to create a peasant that can regrow trees. I tried changing attack value, but I cannot change it to negative because it is an integer.

I tried using a heal effect, but I can't get that to target trees. (I set it to target trees in the editor, but it tells me "must target tree") when I try to target a tree)

I tried using a harvest effect with negative damage, but it won't take integers (like the basic attack)

Any ideas?

gotta trigger it. (try to do it before ya get told how :))

I need to do it without triggers.

Triggers are slow.

Trust me I know.

there is no way to do it without triggers (AFAIK)

Then again, you could look at the repair ability.

Same problem. Unselectable..

edit: Well I guess I'll need the tree size to change at the same time so it will probably be a function. :S

then triggers are your only option.

hahahahaa...hah...ah...

no, triggers are plenty fast.

I don't think you can increase doodad scaling dynamically with triggers :/

U can change the value to negative by forcing it. Hold down shift and double click the value. After that, u are able to insert "-" :) But i don't know ir will crash or not since it is attack value. Never try before, but it will work.

What do you mean by regrow trees anyway?
Do you want to make trees alive instead of dead, or just restore the amount of lumber a tree carries?

Thank you SmileyJeff, that did help a lot.

Qwertyui, I am going to try to do both, but one step at a time..

Simple trigger for this using destructible trigger.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say, Whitehorn.

Anyway, I'm getting there.

well i'd just make the trees regrow with triggers, but if you want to be stubborn about it, go for it. Let me take a quick look at waugs footmen wars. it has a tree regrowth trigger.

OK here goes give the peasant an aoe ability and incorporate this trigger into the effect.
