Crash: Infinite bonus healing onsome units IMPLEMENTED

[Stratego (dev)]

i faced a weird problem, very hard to inventigate (i need to rebuild all level of projects to set a thing, that will let infinite values to go into file-saves and check which unit has "infinite" value instead of a normal number on its property.)

2 cases i investigated:

both problems were on Scaledfolks

in one game it was a UNIT_SCALEDFOLK_LIZARDMAN_TLACOTIN having Infinite bonusHealing
in the other game a UNIT_SCALEDFOLK_DRAGOLIA_FROST_KIN having Infinite bonusHealing

here are the units from the extracted game files

@Savra @makazuwr32 if anyone have any tiny idea how it can happen (legally) within game effects/techs maybe those being added on units multiple times or something - please tell me.


Illegally it can be set b a hacker but i wonder why would he set this - making his game crash too... - so i rather feel some bug or some infinite effect executing somehow.

[makazuwr32]

there are indeed few ways to increase bonus heal rate:
1. Totem of healing from orcs - gives +1 (+100%) heal rate to units in range of its aura (range 1 if i remember correctly).
2. Hydra has increased heal rate - 200%.
3. Venomwyrm Dragolia has ability Draconic rage that also affects heal rate (by -7% per spell power thus when maxed it will reduce heal rate down by -56%).

But nothing else.
I am only slowly trying to use bonus heal rate (both positive and negative) and their effect onto balance so we did not make too many effects with it yet.

[Stratego (dev)]

i could not figure it out how it happens, so i made a "hack" or "workaround" so on game save if a unit have "Infinite" healBonus than i set 101%, so if you see that value that means it turned to "infinity" somehow.
