[Solved] Ability assignment problem

[Nowow]

I'm planning on creating an ability that increases a unit's attack speed and health regeneration speed. In order to do so, I've created two 20 level abilities based on glove of haste and regeneration ring, and created a trigger that run every X seconds of game time and sets the level of these abilities accordingly.
However, it seems my unit hasn't received the buffs at all.

• Endless Conviction Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Endless Conviction ) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Convicted = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Item Attack Speed Bonus (Endless Conviction) to Convicted
    • Unit - Add Life Regeneration (Endless Conviction) to Convicted
    • Unit - Set level of Item Attack Speed Bonus (Endless Conviction) for Convicted to 1
    • Unit - Set level of Life Regeneration (Endless Conviction) for Convicted to 1

I created a debug trigger for both abilities and setting the unit as a variable, so I know my unit is assigned to the convicted variable, but does not receive the abilities. any ideas?

How does the unit get the "Endless Conviction" buff?

If the unit doesn't have that buff when they learn a skill your trigger never fires.

You probably want to change the condition to when they learn a particular skill.

Also bear in mind most item abilities do not have buffs.

The two abilities also bugged in term of levelling as my memory preserves.

Think Daffa is right. Apparently there are a number of abilities, particularly item abilities, that cannot be leveled according to this ability guide.

I know several abilities on that list that level fine. I'm pretty sure ring of regeneration and gloves of haste abilities level correctly. Ones I know through experience don't are the life and mana bonus.


Side note, if you want to add a buff to the unit for aesthetic/information purposes and you're not already doing it some other way, adding a dummy aura is the best way to go about it. I always use tornado slow aura since it doesn't have a command card icon.

Turns out only ring of regeneration can't be leveled (gloves of haste is OK). solved by switching to a custom "regeneration aura (item)" ability, making it only able to target self, thus emulating the ring of regeneration effect.
Thanks a lot.

Nice to know about.
