Healthy units heal 2 even on turns they attack?

[scwizard]

When I move and attack with a healthy dwarf I still heal 2 hp at the beginning of the next turn.

To reproduce just play the first level of The Hammer of Thursagan and attack something with a healthy dwarf. Save is attached.

This is 1.10.7

I could be wrong but I don't think it's a bug. Healthy units basically get "healthy healing" of +2 no matter what, in addition to the rest healing of +2 on turns they didn't move or attack. If poisoned they only take -6 hp because of the healthy healing.

I looked at the help page just now for the healthy trait, it's a bit vague about what is supposed to happen but I don't think it contradicts this... Did you read somewhere something that contradicts what you are seeing?

Healthy
Renowned for their vitality, some dwarves are sturdier than others and can rest heal even when traveling or fighting. Healthy units have 1 HP plus 1 HP per level more than usual and rest heal the usual 2 HP after each turn regardless.

The phrasing of the above seems ambiguous

Healthy effect description looks clear for me, I always understood this effect as its current behavior

The description in the in game documentation is completely different from what you quoted.

Healthy uints have 1 HP plus 1 HP per level more than usual and rest heal the usual 2 HP after each turn they did not fight. They also suffer a quarter less damage from poison.

Here's my suggestion for a description:

"Healthy units heal every turn as if they had rested, even on turns when they did not rest."

You are right, that description looks wrong. I was referring to description you get from tooltip when mouseover trait

Ah-ha, I have also recognized it on your way.
It has been written for a long time. This is on the help menu from BfW 1.4.7:

"Renowned for their vitality, some dwarves are sturdier than others and can rest even when travelling." + _"

Healthy units have 2 more HP than usual and rest heal 2 additional HP after each turn they did not fight."

So maybe, editing it on the help.cfg will be necessary?

[scwizard]

Healthy units basically get "healthy healing" of +2 no matter what, in addition to the rest healing of +2

This is false in 1.10.7. Healthy units that don't move or attack are healed for +2, the same as if they had moved or attacked.

the in-game description was confusing me too, i've made a bug report some years ago:

I'm wrong, and it looks like this was changed at some point.

It was changed in these commits:
https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/commit/0f03c1f8
https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/commit/71688998

The commit message is "make healthy units always rest heal", it seems pretty accurate. However, I don't like the current tooltip, it seems unfortunately confusing.

Does that mean they always rest heal an amount 1 hp + 1 hp per level? So healthy steelclad would heal 3? (Edit: I know it doesn't do that, the question is just to illustrate the confusion.) This should be fixed.

Also, I think the committer in the two commits above just neglected to update the help page.

Maybe change that trait name for lesser regeneration.

I find tooltip clear, it may only be confusing if you don´t understand game concept "rest", wich by the way is stackable with healing so should never be called "regeneration", wich is not stackable with healing.

If players dont understand there is a concept called "rest", then thats problem should be addressed, imo.

Tekelili: The only thing I'm saying is, there should be a line break between "Always rest heals" and "+1 HP and +1 HP per level"

That is a good idea, I myself used a end of line when coding traits descriptions to separate "pure effects" from "descriptions".

But I know what I am talking about when pointing players dont understand concept "rest". In my addon there is a training benefict called "Always rest heals" and I have found even developers that didnt have concept clear

[iceiceice]

Hmm, ok.

We have a whole page in the help dedicated to healing, it seems pretty complete and accurate:

What exactly are people confused about?
