[JASS] Ability Hotkeys

[-Stygian-]

Hey guys

In my game units pick up spells that they can cast once, when the spell it cast the ability is removed.

So since you can have any different combination of abilities i want to make a trigger that will set the hotkey of a spell based on the number of spells the unit already has.

So if the unit doesnt have a spell, it will make the new spell's hotkey Q if the unit has 2 spells it will make the new spell's hotkey E

In short : I need some script to change the hotkey of an ability only for a specific unit.

(+rep and have your name mentioned under 'special credits' in my map if you can give the solution)

Well, i dont its possible, but u can make the hotkey in the ability.
If the unit has 2 or more abilities with the same hotkey, make the ability unable to use and remove it without using once.

It's not possible to change the ability hotkey. In Azeroth Grand Prix, Blizzard has done something similar, but they used one spell for each hotkey (Blizzard Q, Blizzard W, Blizzard E etc) and added the correct spell, depending on the number of abilities..

Well, u can simple do, a unit can only have 7 spells, and they cant be the same.In this way u can do differente hotkeys for each.

Maybe you could use dummy abilities for the hotkeys

Maybe you could use dummy abilities for the hotkeys

how do i do that?

And i doubt the other idea will work since there are about 35 different spells
