Also, since it does nto change Max HP, if and when your unit goes below the Max HP and you try to heal it, it will not get above the Max HP. So, maybe you should keep in mind to make these guys a bit stronger .

I got the clue when you sent me that decompressed scenario that listed tons of things.

Sorry I'm so saddistic but I just created 20+ triggers that were exactly the same because of no copy 'n paste. (Wait, what does saddistic mean?)

[edit:] Forgot to say its still cool though :P

But it's more catchy

Though Set Current HP is right term, it doesn't damage since it can heal too. It Sets the current HP of the unit.

Why haven't you been cherubized yet?

It's a pretty good reason imo

BTW, this made the DGDN news.

Thank you.
Yes it does work.

Just one little point for clarity sake here; after installing it, I was really frustrated for a bit, unable to find any such Trigger in my Trigger List – looking for “Change Current HP.”

It actually appears much further down the list, as – “Set Current HP by EO…”

I finally found it…

I wonder if you might make another Trigger?
If you ever feel like it, maybe? It would really be nice to have an actual ‘Damage Object’ Trigger (such as we had in AoK).

I’ve tried this one for that purpose, and though it does work to the extent it lowers the HP’s and fire will appear on severely HP-lowered objects (buildings) – there’s no ‘visible damage.’
An ability to ‘place’ cracked and crumbling walls in settings of old ‘ruins’ would be a major bonus for AOM Scn. Design I think.
Just a little nugget for thought and possible consideration?

I don’t even know whether it’s possible – and I’m about 847 million light years from able to do anything of the sort.

Thanks tons & bunches for this one tho’! Really nice to have another valuable trigger in the list.

good job, this can be useful

[EDIT] BTW, now you can make your Dwarf Soccer scenario (or whatever it was to be called). I experimented with such a thing myself and managed to get it working with a looping Restoration effect. It makes some noise but it heals very quickly.

THANKS.

Matei:Yeah, I can easily use that trick to make the dwarf have its max HP continuously, so when I get back to my dwarf kickin scenario, I'll add that.

I'll fix the readme and misc stuff tonight.

On a much simpler subject. I think you might be able to put your own custom music into AOM. (Must be MP3 files though.)

I was able to play an MP3 clip with a trigger once I put the clip into the music folder. If there is a file that would tell AOM to play certain MP3's at a time, I feel it could be changed so that instead of listening to the old AOM music, you could put in something that you want to listen to. (Got this idea from someone's AOC scenario. They set up a trigger to play a sound, which turned out to be a music track from a song. Simple to use in the AOM editor but replacing the game music might take some digging in files.)

Anyways, you guys can go back to talking about the HP trigger. I do have plans for it...
