Taking damage triggers event scripts, on which modders can hook effects or alter the final damage's value
How about making the same for heal?
v6b standardized "core_HealScript" script for heals, which apply prosperity rune to heals using it.
Could let modders register scripts that will trigger upon core_HealScript call. Pseudo code:
Example of uses
> Effects that increase/reduce healing taken
> Track healing done (i.e for team round contribution)
> Display an accurate pop-up number of the heal amount received
Can help with implementation if needed
2026/04/28 edit : also, a parameter to heal by flat instead of %mhp could be a little extra

ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("core_HealScript", 5) // heal 5% of user's maxHealth
ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("core_HealScript", 5, true) // heal a fixed 5
Weird demon doin' code things.

Seconded. I would really like easier accessibility when it comes to conditional healing rates, like some classes/flags letting you heal less than if you were another class/not holding the conditional flag and this sounds like a relatively safe way to do so.
