Buying Hero Abilities

[Echo]

Hey guys, I wanted to know if it was possible to be able to buy spells from a shop and add it to the hero's abilities tab (so he will have to spend a skill point to gain the ability).

If some is there a thread already about it?

Thanks.

Did you try this?

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Avatar to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Decrease level of Avatar for (Triggering unit)

It just gives the hero the ability at level one even if i try to decrease it's level.

just do set hero ability lvl to get hero ability lvl - 1

also yes u can buy abilities from shop. first make an item with the ability name and give it to the shop. then trigger it when unit buys the item

That doesn't help me :/

Maps like Custom Hero Line Wars have what I am looking for. How did they do it?

Perhaps if you remove the ability?

Didn't seem to do anything, I have found a custom hero line wars map and had a look at the triggers. Sadly it is in jass so I have no idea what to do but it seems like he is making a dummy spell called 'empty slot' then once you buy the spell can stand on the ready circle, it adds the spell you wanted to the hero, swaps the level of the dummy spell and the new spell, then removes the dummy spell.

Here is the link to the map.

Is this possible in GUI?

Edit: This link actually has exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the help anyway guys .

If you still have difficulties, here is a complete tutorial and customizable way of buying abilities. It also includes a demo map.

I just realized you can use engineering upgrade..

interesting idea, in wow you have to buy skills 1 by 1 and improve them

i think it can be like (cheap triggering)
buy a objet
users own of the trigerring unit owns something like that
conditions
objet equal to

action
add skill to hero:

i still have lot to learn about triggers but i think is very posible

It's quite easily possible, but the main problem is that added abilities start as level 1 and can't be decremented.

However, the engineering upgrade ability is designed to replace hero abilities, so it should work flawlessly.
