setting lvl to 9 if theres only 8 levels will set the level to 8...

Firstly, when you try to add an ability that the unit already has, then the game simply ignores it. What exactly does that ability do? What exactly are you asking? You explained what you want to do, but not where you get a problem.

 

[deathismyfriend]

its supposed to work the same as a health modification ability im not sure how to set it up tho thts wat im asking is how to accomplish tht

 

[Xonok]

In this case I suggest integer division.
if level of ThatAbility < 1 then
add ThatAbility
else
set level of ability to int/20 of YourHero
endif

Something like that.
It won't go over level 8, since your ability doesn't have more.

tht wouldnt work tht was already suggested earlier lol

Why wouldn't it work? If the ability itself gives the bonus, then it would work. If not, then you should simulate it anyway.
You won't need 100 levels.
If the bonuses come from the trigger, then make an array that lists the bonus for every level.

if i want the ability to go up by .01 every 20 intel then yes i would need 100 lvls ur way look at power towers he uses a max life modifier ability for the game thts wat i need

My way sets the level of ability.
What exactly the ability does each level is determined by the array.

heres a pic of his max life modifier

 

[Xonok]

heres a pic of his max life modifier

So basically you want those to be percentages of max life?
lvl 1 is .01
lvl 2 is .05
lvl 3 is .10
lvl 4 is .15
lvl 5 is .25
lvl 6 is .50
lvl 7 is .75
lvl 8 is 1.00

 

[deathismyfriend]

no i want it to act like how he does his max life modifier he uses one lvl of ability then the other ex lvl 4 and lvl 3 will give him 9 mine is not for life or for mana

Well basically set up an ability with those levels then. Use something like what I showed for adding levels. If you want to combine different levels, then it's just better to make separate abilities.
lvl 1 is .01
lvl 2 is .05
lvl 3 is .10
lvl 4 is .15
lvl 5 is .25
lvl 6 is .50
lvl 7 is .75
lvl 8 is 1.00
