Introduction to Editing Units with End Statements.

The following Statements are basic modifiers that require end statements: Locomotor, Weaponset, and Armorset. The following code will show how these are used in aragorns INI file. As you notice these are not set with normal values, these are set with variable names, instead of numbers. There are different types of objects when coding. The standing object is a unit, building, or hero. Other types include Weapon, Locomotor, and Armor.
When you extract the INI folder, you will find these under:
data\ini\locomotor.ini
data\ini\weapon.ini
data\ini\armor.ini

These will have their own stats, and will be treated differently than an object because they are something different.

Code

;;;----------------------------------------------------;;;

Locomotor HeroHumanLocomotor ; basically same as human but doesn't do formations.

    Surfaces              = GROUND RUBBLE

    TurnTime              = 500 ; measured in milliseconds 

    TurnTimeDamaged       = 500 ; measured in milliseconds 

    FastTurnRadius        = 9 ; Can turn in a 10 foot radius circle when moving.

    SlowTurnRadius        = 1 ; Turns in place from a standing start.

    Acceleration = 210  ; .21 second to accelerate to full speed.

    FormationPriority        = NO_FORMATION ; used for hordes



    Braking  = 210  ; .21 second to brake from full speed.

    MinTurnSpeed          = 0%

    ZAxisBehavior         = NO_Z_MOTIVE_FORCE

    Appearance            = TWO_LEGS

    StickToGround         = Yes       ; walking guys aren't allowed to catch huge (or even small) air.

    CanMoveBackwards       = Yes   ; Can move backwards when afraid.

    BackingUpSpeed        =    33%

End



;;;----------------------------------------------------;;;

This Locomotor is being used in 'Object GondorAragorn', to specify his speed, braking, and turn speed.

Code



;;;----------------------------------------------------;;;

Object GondorAragorn

    

    LocomotorSet ; movement

        Locomotor = HeroHumanLocomotor ; ; This is the Locomotor coded above.

        Condition = SET_NORMAL ; ; This means default

        Speed     = NORMAL_GOOD_HERO_SPEED ; ; This is a CONSTANT that is defined in data\ini\gamedata.ini

    End ; this Ends the locomotorset



    WeaponSet ; damage

        Conditions        = None  ; ;

        Weapon            = PRIMARY    GondorAragornSword ; ;

    End ; this Ends the weaponset



    ArmorSet ; defence to enemy attacks

        Conditions        = None ; ;

        Armor           = ToughHeroArmor ; ; 

        DamageFX        = NormalDamageFX

    End ; this Ends the armorset



End ; this ends gondorAragorn object.

Hello, I'm a bit confused. Let's say I just wanted to make Heroes in general stronger. How would I do that? I change the armor values and health values of aragorn. But in game, they don't change at all. What should I do?
