[Solved] Change Level of Ability on Item?

[Gnuoy]

Trying to set ability level of this item to the sac_counter variable. Not sure if this is possible? Anyone understand what I'm trying to ask?

• call BlzSetAbilityIntegerField(BlzGetItemAbility(gg_item_glsk_0088, 'A04P'), ABILITY_IF_LEVELS, udg_sac_counter)

It would help if you could explain what you are trying to do in your game. I don't know what your sac counter variable is. a bit of context would go a long way.

I don't know if it is possible to set ability level on item itself, however when unit acquires an item, that unit receives that item's abilities. So all you need to do is update level of given ability on unit.

For example, Staff of Healing has modified "Holy Light (item)" ability that has 2 levels. The trigger would look like this:

• Acquires item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Staff of Healing
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set level of Holy Light (item) for (Triggering unit) to 2

Thanks for the replies.

Cheshire, I'm trying to make the stats on the item increase to be equal to the sac counter variable. There is a sacrifice mechanic and I want each sacrifice to increase the stats given by the item each time the item is re/acquired or each time another sacrifice is done.

Nichilus, that method does not seem to work on initial testing. I guess I'll just try add/remove item ability but I didn't want to make an array of 40+ item abilities.

If you are going for hero attribute bonuses, try to use the 'Attribute Bonus' hero ability - just make it an item ability and assign it to item. That ability seems to support changing levels and also stacking when multiples of same items are picked.
