I would think this would be really simple, but I can't figure out what was wrong. I chatted with zany and we both were stumped.
I found the medics HP address: (Yes I tested/double-checked by changing the value)
I converted it to hex and dropped that into EUD:
Found out what the value for 100hp would be with the given byte offset:
256 x 1 x 100 = 25600
Plugged all that info into my triggers:
Player 1
Memory at Death Table + 13471 is exactly 25600
Display text for current player: 100
And had no success. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so .. heres my post
Any ideas?
Oh, and just so you don't get confused (if you download the map) the other triggers were just me testing out other possibilities, in case I just mixed up something stupid.
Edit:
It looks like forums triggers are broken?
Uh..here's a pastebin of the Trigedit version:

None.
you input the triggers wrong, or you're using an old version of eudtrig. In any case, the new formula is easier.
(0x628151-0x58a364)/4=161659.25. .25 signifies 2nd byte, so multiply number by 2^8.
Memory at 161659 is 25600.
"Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman - do we have to call the Gentleman a gentleman if he's not one?"
Bingo.
Thanks rockz.
Question though, are there any other possibilities than ending in .25? (Thus multiplying by 2^8)
If so, what are they and what do they signify? Is there a list somewhere? Anywhere I can read up about it?
(Edit)
Also: Is the
0x58a364 always the same? I always subtract that from my address?

None.
so my power went out after I was about to press submit. This next write is much less informative because I'm angry.
>are there any other possibilities than ending in .25? (Thus multiplying by 2^8)
yes, if it ends in .5, you multiply by 2^16, or .75, you multiply by 2^24. Energy is always located on the 3rd bit (.5) and also has extra precision, so the number you actually see is on the 4th bit (.75).
>Also: Is the 0x58a364 always the same? I always subtract that from my address?
sort of. For 1.16.1, 0x58a364 is the location of player 1 deaths of terran marine. The deaths condition will read THAT address if it's player 1, unitid 0.
