Unlisted HP

[Obscura]

On bnet there has been a lot of games with units that look invincible but actually have over 9999 hps anyone know how to do this?

[SilverCrusader]

yeah, use a map editor like SCM Draft 2, than set the hit points over 9999... it is real easy.

[TheNomad]

no, you set the shields to -1...

[Obscura]

Ok set sheilds to -1 and hp over 9999?

[SilverCrusader]

either way works.

[TheNomad]

-1 is invincibility, 9999 is not invincible, but both are targetable

[BroodKiller]

Setting a unit's HP over 9999 either in units.dat or in the CHK file will hide it from being displayed, but will still work as normal HP.

[SilverCrusader]

yes it does, you just can't see the HP actual numbers. But i never knew you could use -1 to make them invincable... but it makes sense mathematically. If you take a shield point away since the shield points do have a value than it would go to -2. Which would be increasing the shield points.
