Add random spells

[Honk]

Hello, how can i add to hero random hero spells from all (original) spells in Warcraft 3? Do i really need hashtable or making one big trigger? (like Set 1 = stormbolt, Set 2 = Banish,...?) Thank you

I believe this is the way to go.

Example:
Event
- Map Init
Condition
Actions
- Set Abi[1] = Stormbolt
- Set Abi[2] = Banish
- Set Abi[3] = Wind Walk
- ...


Then give random ability to your desired unit:
- Unit - Add Abi[Random integer 1 to 20] to (Triggering unit)

OK thank you

Index 0 is a valid index. For logical reasons you should assign a purpose to index 0, even if that is padding so the array is compatible with a function without an adapter.

You will most likely run into the following problems:
a) Hotkey problems
b) Icon card positions will be messed up.
c) Useless synergies of spells.

If you plan some kind of dynamic ability adding and removing, keep in mind that the game might crash, while removing an ability. (Iirc removing activated avatar is one of these)
