Modify protounit

Modify protounit is an Effect which is accessed from the Triggers menu. You can learn more about the Triggers window here. You can learn more about using effects here.

Effect Description:

Modifies the stats of (all units of) a unit type. Does not fully work though.

Effect Parameters:

ProtoUnit: The unit type that is supposed to be modified, selectable through a list of protounits.
Player: Whose units will be affected.
Field: Which type of stats will be modified. Not all of these work on all units though.

Stats that work on most units:

• Hitpoints
• Speed
• LOS
• Train Points (how long it takes for a certain unit to be trained)
• Build Points (how long it takes for a certain building to be built, if you change this value so that it's smaller than 0 the building will be built even without a villager having to reach it)
• Max Contained (how many units a unit/building can contain, for example a ship)
• Population Count (how many pop slots a unit/building counts towards the population)
• Pop Cap Addition (how many new pop slots a unit/building produces, for example a house)
• Build Limit (how many of a unit/building can be produced)
• Cost (resource type)

Stats that are suspected not to work at all or to work only one some units:

• Lifespan
• Recharge Time
• Range/Minimum Range
• Healing Rate/Healing Range
• CarryCapacity (resource type) (works for crates of resources, but only increases the capacity, not the actual amount of resources)
• Attack/Bonuses

Delta: The amount of what you want to add/subtract from the stat. -10 for example means 10 less, 548 for example means 548 more. So if you modify the Longbowmen's hitpoints by 548, they'll have 643 hitpoints (95+548=643).

Notes:

These stats are remnants from AoM. AoE3 is technically partially new, so some of them don't work any more.
