Health System Capping

So, I'm making a health system for an RPG map I'm making.
It utilizes Health Orbs (represented by Crystals) used to recover health.
Health is represented by vespene gas so I could subtract or add health AT WILL!
I want to cap the health so you can't go above limit, but it's not working.
Is there something wrong with the triggers?

The idea is that an unused player (Player 9) has 50 gas, which is the highest health I want the player (Player 1) to go.
To test if Player 1 went over the limit, I check if Player 1 has the most gas in the game. If so, I set Player 1's gas to 50.
Health Orbs work by getting an SCV and moving it to a location in another platform (which is the inventory). When it is moved there, it will add 10 gas to the player.
Trigger
Players
  • Player 8
  • Conditions
  • Always.
  • Actions
  • Set gas for Player 9 to 50.

  • Trigger
    Players
  • Player 1
  • Conditions
  • Current player has most gas.
  • Actions
  • Set gas for Player 1 to 50.

  • Thank you for reading this longer than necessary description.



    None.

    Just here for the pie

    Player 9 can't have gas. You'll have to settle for the simpler solution of checking if player 1 has over 50 gas.

    Is there any reason you couldn't do a simpler method like Inferno says, using the "Accumulate" condition?

    Trigger
    Players
  • Player 1
  • Conditions
  • Current Player accumulates at least 51 gas.
  • Actions
  • Modify resources for Current Player: set to 50 gas.
  • Preserve Trigger.

    I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
    Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

    I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
