Changing unit level (ulev) for heroes seem to add 5 hero levels

[Barade]

Hi,
I have some kind of bonus system in my map which increases the levels of units. I use the native to change the unit integer field ulev.
However, it seems that when doing this with heroes, they just gain 5 hero levels, no matter which unit level I specify.
Can anyone confirm this bug and is there any explanation why?
Is there any workaround which won't add 5 hero levels?

Are you sure you want to change ulev of heroes? I dont think it does anything. What are you trying to achieve?

EDIT: For me it adds 1 extra hero level ontop of the integer value except if its the same value as the current level then nothing happens. If I reduce it by a value it reduces the value correctly. I have no idea why. Why not use "Hero - Set unit Hero-level to ((Hero level of unit) + 1), Show level-up graphics"?

The unit level has a different meaning. For example, if you have a spell which is limited to a unit level like Transmute or Charm or Black Arrow or any custom spell but still has the target type hero allowed, it is important but I guess I will simply disable it then. There are not many spells which need this but some.

You could reduce the hero level by the extra levels gained after the increase? There would probably be side-effects to doing that though.
