Why won't these ApplyRules work?

After reading the level editing guide again, I tried to add the following rules to my custom map:

ApplyRules("RangerAttack DamageType = Fire; RangerAttack BurnFactor = 70%");

// Doesn't work. Rangers don't ignite targets when arrows hit them. They just do normal arrow damage instead of fire damage.

ApplyRules("Warehouse ResourcesStorage +100");

// Doesn't work. No idea why. I've played custom maps by other people that increase resource storage by a huge amount, I can't seem to do it for my custom map.

ApplyRules("Ranger Armor +200%; RangerAttackVeteran Armor +400%");

// Normal rangers get 15% armor but veteran rangers do not get 25% armor. They get 15% armor same as normal rangers get. No idea why.

ApplyRules("Ranger WatchRange +2; RangerAttackVeteran WatchRange +4");

// Normal rangers get 2 extra view distance, but veteran rangers also get only 2 extra view distance, not 4 extra as I defined in my rule. No idea why.

None of my above rules throw an error in the game, they just don't work. If anyone sees a typo or knows a way to make these work I'd like to know.

Thanks in advance if anyone replies to this.

Hi

1) For having units dealing fire damage, if I recall well, you only need to use one fire variable. And I think to use burnfactor you don't need % as it is counted in milisec. So no percentage.

2) You need to use % AND put a space between the + and your number.

3) Put a space between the + and your number, and do not use RangerAttackVeteran.

4) WatchRange is a bugged variable that hadn't been fixed. It wont work in any case.

Hope it has been helpful!

re 1: Not sure what you mean by 'use one fire variable'. I did change BurnFactor to "+ 70" but no change in the game. Rangers still shoot normal arrows and don't set targets on fire.

re 2: For Warehouse I changed "ResourcesStorage +100" to "ResourcesStorage + 100%". That didn't change anything in game when I next tested my map. The Warehouse still gives vanilla storage amounts.

re 3 and 4, it appears that whatever armor and watchrange I give the normal ranger, the veteran ranger inherits the same. So giving the veteran ranger separate armor and watchrange values does absolutely nothing.

Put a capital on H of Warehouse. Like this: WareHouse

Try to change the armor with simple numbers and not percentage then. I know that changing in a bit a pain in the ass
