need help upgrading enemy units

[Narcosis]

I'm trying to make a script that upgrades the hp of the custom spores I'm using, but I can't make anything that works here's the custom spore tower script I'm using

Spore Wave 5 would basically be the same as Spore Wave 4 except that(for now) the hp of the giant spore would increase by 1 about 20 seconds after each spore wave and the the three normal ones will increase there hp by 1 about 20 seconds after every 2 spore waves. If someone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

I think I've got something that works. This will change the health of the spores generated by all the spore towers on the map in accordance with the parameters you set.

Here's a description of all the input variables:

normalAddAmt	The amount of health it should add to normal spores.
normalAddInterval	How often it should add the above amount of health to the normal spores. 1 means every wave, 2 means every other wave, 3 every third wave, etc.
giantSporeScale	The minimum scale required for a spore to be considered "giant." Anything below this is considered to be "normal."
giantAddAmt	The amount of health it should add to giant spores.
giantAddInterval	How often it should add the above amount of health to the giant spores. 1 means every wave, 2 means every other wave, 3 every third wave, etc.
startingWave	The wave after which it should start adding health to each individual spore tower.
addHealthDelay	This is the amount of time it should wait before attempting to change the health of the spores generated by the spore tower.

Also, I'm not sure what exactly you mean by increasing the health 20 seconds after each spore wave, since it shouldn't matter when you increase it, so long as you increase it before the next wave fires. However, I added the variable addHealthDelay that will wait that many frames before it tries to increase the health again. It does this globally via the game time, so if you have any other scripts that modify or change the game time in any way, expect this to bug out.

To get this working, you'll have to make a very slight modification to the custom spore tower. Somewhere in the once...endonce block, add this line of code:

Code Select Expand

184 ->GetCoresIdentifier
This script uses that variable GetCoresIdentifier to find all the custom spore towers on the map, so try not to modify that. I also assumed that the name of the script attached to the custom spore towers was "CustomSporeTower.crpl", as shown in your third piece of code. If this is not the case, just replace "CustomSporeTower.crpl" with the real name of it everywhere in this script.

Other than that, just build a CRPL tower somewhere, attach this to it, set all the variables, and it should work.

I hope this helps. If you notice any bugs, please let me know, and I will try to fix them as soon as I can!

The code you gave doesn't appear to work. I think the problem is the code you told me to add to customsporetower 
(184 ->GetCoresIdentifier). I tried setting the trace log on CustomSporeHealthModifier to check how many instances of the code it finds, (I'm not sure if I'm using the trace log right)and it says it finds zero instances of it despite there being several cores with customsporetower on the map.

[ParkourPenguin]

Could you provide a save.cw3 file?

[Narcosis]

This is a copy of the file with most of the irrelevant stuff removed to avoid spoilers. I left the trace log on the CustomSporeHealthModifier incase I was using it wrong. Just to let you know its playability hasn't been tested yet so there's no need to comment on that.
