Hello, i created trigger throught i can add 7 random hero abilities to hero. How can i level up this spells? Normal skill points doesnt work. How can i ''save'' added spells somewhere and when hero will gain new level, random skill will be leveled up (to max 6 level)? Also i need this get work for multiple heroes (ingame). Some help? Please
Either use a place holder hero ability that has no icon but levels up the ability when learnt or you will need to think of some other way to level the hero abilities up. It sounds like you choose the latter.

Integer (ability type in GUI) variables can store the ability type identifiers of all abilities learnt. An array could be used for convenience so that the 6 abilities can be accessed more easily. A 2D mapping of the array could be used so that multiple indices for different 6 abilities can be referenced.
When the hero gains a level you get his ability array index (hashtable? Maybe per player?) and then choose randomly one of the 6 abilities (random int from 0 to 5) and level it up. You could use a local array to create a set of abilities that are not level 6 or you could try the easy approach of if the random ability chosen is level 6 then choose the lowest index ability that is not level 6 and level that (not really random but you are probably struggling enough if you cannot generate a subset of the abilities that are not level 6 and choose one randomly).

I'm going to try to make something like Dr Super Good suggested so you can try and see what he means, then edit this post, hold on.
EDIT: Turns out, not being able to enumerate abilities really makes this job a LOT harder.
Well, here it is, works even if heroes level up and enter region 000 (which would be, uh, your arena? well, you can replace that event with whenever you want your heroes to get their 7 random abilities, just make sure it isn't triggered twice for the same hero) at the same time.
I have to say though, this is definitely not the cleanest or best method by any means, I'm sure someone more experienced can make something better and wipe it in my face. Maybe in Jass with hashtables, both of which I know nothing about, and I assume neither do you.
In any case, here are the triggers, for the 7 ability randomizer:

If you want, I can embed the map or try to explain something better. It gets a little convoluted storing an ability integer for an ability of the hero integer of the hero. Heugh. Cracked my head a bit.
EDIT2: Now that I think about it and reread Super Good's post, yeah, this would be a lot simpler if you used ability IDs (available with JASS and/or hashtables.)... Oh well. Sucks not having an ability type variable. Integer Arrays are really overkill.

No problem, though you should probably consider looking up hashtables because i'm pretty sure this would be a little easier if you stored ability IDs and used those. Glad to have helped!
