What I'm trying to do is make an ability/behavior that makes a unit regenerate hp if it has <100hp, degenerate hp if it has >100hp, and do nothing if it has =100hp. I could make this work with a complex trigger but I'm wondering if it's possible to do this with the data editor.

Yes. The answer is validators which are basically the same as conditions in triggers. I'd give a more detailed explanation but you'd learn more by playing around with the system yourself.

Units come with their own inherent CUnit_LifeRegenRate so there are at least two ways to do it.

Solution A

1.) Create two Validators, one to check if the unit is over 100 life, one to check if the unit is under 100 life
2.) Create two Behaviors, one to regen life, one to degen life

Solution B (clunky)

1.) Create the unit with its own regen
2.) Create one Validator to check if the unit is over 100 life
3.) Create one Behavior to degen life that will, in essence, cancel out the unit's regen

Validators

• This Validator returns true when the unit has less than 100 life

name: Under100Life

type: CValidatorUnitCompareVital (used to compare/check things like life, shields, and energy)
- CValidatorUnitCompare_Compare: e_valueCompareLT (this is the logic gate, less than)
- CValidatorUnitCompareVital_Type: e_vitalTypeCurrent (the number we are checking, current life when the Validator is run)
- CValidatorUnitCompareVital_Value: 100 (this the number we are checking against, 100)
- CValidatorUnitCompareVital_Vital: e_unitVitalLife (this is the vital field we are checking, life)

• This Validator returns true when the unit has greater than 100 life

name:Over100Life

type: CValidatorUnitCompareVital
- CValidatorUnitCompare_Compare: e_valueCompareGT
- CValidatorUnitCompareVital_Type: e_vitalTypeCurrent
- CValidatorUnitCompareVital_Value: 100
- CValidatorUnitCompareVital_Vital: e_unitVitalLife

Behaviors

• this Behavior sets the unit's life regen to +10/sec while it is under 100 life

Behavior: UpTo100

Type: CBehaviorBuff Duration: -1 (so it goes forever) CBehaviorBuff_Modification_VitalRegenArray (used to set the regen/degen of life, shields, and energy)
- Life: 10 (+10life/sec)
CBehaviorBuff_DisableValidatorArray (runs this Validator(s) every tick, if they return false the Behavior is turned off)
- Under100Life

• this Behavior sets the unit's life regen to -10/sec while it is over 100 life

Behavior: DownTo100

Type: CBehaviorBuff
Duration: -1
CBehaviorBuff_Modification_VitalRegenArray
- Life: -10
CBehaviorBuff_DisableValidatorArray
- Over100Life

Find your Unit's Behavior array and add both of these Behaviors to it.

Woah, thank you for that tutorial.
