(UNSOLVED) How to change Torb Turret health?

Workshop Discussion
1

Pretty simple problem here.

Anyone able to solve it with the current workshop update?

There is no way to change the health of his turret independent of his health.

There is no way to change the turretā€™s health dynamically, but you can do it from the custom game settings via torbā€™s health.

You can change Torbā€™s health via the ā€œHeroesā€ section of the Custom Game settings, which will also change the health of the turret, and then you can set torbā€™s max health with workshop commands.

Unfortunately you cannot do that anymore. I wish that was the case but equipment health and settings donā€™t change anymore. Try it out.

This was posted multiple times on PTR bug forums and yet we still donā€™t know if they attended to add a separate stat or itā€™s just a bug.

Can we keep posting it till they fix it?

Same case with all hero equipment and settings.

Only workaround I can think of is making a rule stating if thereā€™s no players in a smaller view angle, say 10Ā°, then reduce the players damage

ā€¦how exactly would that change the health of the turret?

Odd considering shields still do

Oh.wait this is a necro nvm

It would leave the turret with normal health, but the player would only do 10% or whatever damage you want to it.

A more simple method would be to, say you want to INCREASE the turret health but canā€™t, set all playerā€™s damage dealt to 50% and damage taken to 200%, so that players would damage each other normally, but half damage to turrets, essentially doubling their health.

This would affect barriers as well though, I donā€™t think you wanted that.

Looks like the damage received stat affects the turret. You could try reducing that and lower torbā€™s hp (which doesnā€™t affect turret) to compensate ?

14

You could also start a damage modification for players on the enemy team.

You can keep health the same but set all players damage dealt to 50% in hero settings but start a 200% damage modification for everyone. It wonā€™t help with breaking barriers bad or player-owned objects good but it is a start

Weā€™ve told them forever but never fixed it.

It was resolved by switching to 2.

In addition, it is not possible to separate the health of the turret and the main body, but we can modify only the main body separately.
