Automatic leveling and Dependent abilities

[Dielectrics]

I am creating a map with a hero that can only cast abilities while this other ability is active. I am not sure how to do this.

Also, I want the "activator" ability to get better as the hero levels, but the way that I did not work very well. I just made a trigger that learned the next level of the ability when the hero gains an ability, then gives hero another skill point. But, I do not want the given skill point to be used on another level of the "activator."

I'll help you, but I need two things clarified:

1. You want it so the hero can only cast spell X while his "activator" ability is on?

2. The "activator" ability will level up to do what exactly? Last for a longer time?

Yes, clarification

1. You want it so the hero can only cast spell X while his "activator" ability is on?

2. The "activator" ability will level up to do what exactly? Last for a longer time?

1. Yes, that is correct

2. The activator ability drains mana as long as it is active, and the higher levels drain mana slower. 1- 5 per second, 2- 4.5ps, 3- 4ps ... 10-.5ps

is that enough info?

Thanks btw

hm, you could make a trigger which checks if your acitvator ability is on when unit starts casting an ability, if not order the unit to stop, the poblem is that th mana for the ability used would be lost

I figured part out

Alright, I figured out the actual activation part of it. The activator gives the caster a buff, so I had the trigger test for the specific buff before allowing the secondary spell to continue. The mana is not even lost!

I still do not know how to get the activator to increase in level like that though
