help with a skill

Hi! I have a problem with a skill of mine. The skill is based on devour. It should devour the unit like the original but it shall have more effects. Like adding an exact % (which will change with lvls) of the target unit's max hp to the max hp of the casting unit. So far I messed myself a lot with triggers yet I can't find the way to do this I ask for your help

this allows you to modify the max health and mana of units.

Isn't there a way to do it without using JASS?

I think he means to say when he eats the target he gains a % of it's max hp.
It's just simple triggering and can be done in GUI. Just set a real variable to the unit's max hp then multiply by 0.10, then add that value to the caster's hp.

except he wants to do it for max life, not current life.

Earth Fury's right here. Let's say it's set to 10%. The hero has 500 max hp, eats a unit with 500 max hp and boooom he now has (10x500/100=50) 550 max hp yet the idea of using JASS doesn't suit me at all. Isn't there an easier way?

Stick the code i linked to in your maps header, make the proper abilitys, and use this single custom script line to change a units max life:

you can replace GetTriggerUnit() (Triggering Unit is the GUI equivilent) with a global variable of type unit. (globals, in jass, have the prefix "udg_", so "myInteger" becomes "udg_myInteger")
"123456" is the new maximum life of the unit. You can also use a global here, or a global and basic math, like: (10*udg_UnitsLife/100) + udg_OtherUnitsLife
Hope this helps. ^^

Thank you. I'll try it as soon as I get my hands on my PC again (I wont be home for a shot period of time) Once again thanks
