You can't just append this to the end of the unit.lua file because the function is "inside" the unit class definition.

You need a hook for the unitclass.

Create a file in your mod/hook folder:

Code:: \Mods\YOURMODNAME\hook\lua\sim\Unit.lua

Then copy & paste this into the Unit.lua file:

Code:: -- Save/store the original Unit class local OldUnit = Unit -- create a new unitclass with the same name (overwrite the original) and use as base the OldUnit class Unit = Class(OldUnit) { -- This overwrites the original CreateVeterancyBuffs function CreateVeterancyBuffs = function(self, level) local healthBuffName = 'VeterancyMaxHealth' .. level -- Currently there is no difference between units, therefore no need for unique buffs local regenBuffName = self:GetUnitId() .. 'VeterancyRegen' .. level -- Generate a buff based on the unitId - eg. uel0001VeterancyRegen3 if not Buffs[regenBuffName] then -- Maps self.techCategory to a number so we can do math on it for naval units local techLevels = { TECH1 = 1, TECH2 = 2, TECH3 = 3, COMMAND = 3, SUBCOMMANDER = 4, EXPERIMENTAL = 5, } local techLevel = techLevels[self.techCategory] or 1 -- Treat naval units as one level higher if techLevel < 4 and EntityCategoryContains(categories.NAVAL, self) then techLevel = techLevel + 1 end -- Regen values by tech level and veterancy level local regenBuffs = { {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, -- T1 {3, 6, 9, 12, 15}, -- T2 {6, 12, 18, 24, 30}, -- T3 / ACU {9, 18, 27, 36, 45}, -- SACU {25, 50, 75, 100,125}, -- Experimental } BuffBlueprint { Name = regenBuffName, DisplayName = regenBuffName, BuffType = 'VeterancyRegen', Stacks = 'REPLACE', Duration = -1, Affects = { Regen = { Add = regenBuffs[techLevel][level], }, }, } end return {regenBuffName, healthBuffName} end, }

Now you can play around with it.

Hm, thats not cool, so i need to put this line below in my unit.lua file to negate this?
local regenBuffs = {
}

I remember long ago someone was saying on a youtube video that Cybran ACU was balanced ok because it had more regen... I guess not.

Hello Evildrew,

i am not sure in this case!

But the veteran system was changed and those tables are a left over from the old system.

Actual the veteran level and regen is calculated hardcoded inside unit.lua script:

Regen in game different from blueprint

2019-01-31T17:36:35+02:00

Buff regen doesnt seem to be working as in the blueprints, all exps get +25/level on my test regardless of what is in the blueprint. Tested it with GC & Fatboy, same problem.

Buffs = {
Regen = {

Anyone know why that is or if it can be fixed?
