Odd Question/Request

Is there any way for Hero labs to give a status for a creature when they have reached a certain percentage of their HP?

I want no in game effects for these statuses other than a Label on the character.

I have labeling for the damage the monsters have taken
Lightly Wounded Taken any damage
Moderately Wounded Taken more than 25 percent of their HP
Seriously Wounded Taken more than 50 percent of their HP
Critically Wounded Taken more than 75 percent of their HP
Gravely Wounded Taken more than 90 percent of their HP

I would love if it could do the math since they are all based on percentage of HP I have no idea if this is even feasible but I figured it wouldnt hurt to ask

You can build an ability that uses a script to calculate the HP percentage and changes its name to show the wounded level, and then use a Mechanic that bootstraps that ability to add it to all creatures.

How hard would that be?

Or maybe just turn on the "wound thresholds" to get somewhere close to it :-)

Yeah if it didn’t apply the minuses it would be perfect.

It might be possible to find all the things that handle Wound Thresholds, and then copy them and modify them to only print the status without applying the other modifiers.

I have zero clues in the editor

Well, make a mechanic and make a racial special, then bootstrap the racial special to the mechanic. I assume that the confusion is with how to calculate things? There are 2 hero fields which are relevant, tCurrentHP and tHP. Here is a rough first draft of an eval script to set the abText field. Put this on the racial special, and also give that ability the LvNamePar.AppText tag.

Final 15000

Code:

var percent as number
percent = herofield[tCurrentHP].value/herofield[tHP].value

if (percent <= .1) then
  field[abText].text = "Gravely Wounded"
elseif (percent <= .25) then
  field[abText].text = "Critically Wounded"
elseif (percent <= .5) then
  field[abText].text = "Seriously Wounded"
elseif (percent <= .75) then
  field[abText].text = "Moderately Wounded"
elseif (percent < 1) then
  field[abText].text = "Lightly Wounded"
elseif (percent >= 1) then
  field[abText].text = "Unwounded"
  endif

Thank you very much for this but I have no idea where to put any of this or what it really means.

Looking at what you put and looking at the editor I am totally clueless how to make this work
