This snippet works just like
It does so by using the HeroicUnit exploit found by Lean and applying a neat chaos morph trick on top of it to set the base armor of a unit.
It will then apply leveling tomes to set the level of the unit (the HeroicUnit exploit allows that) and use attack tomes to set the damage.
There are three requirements for the units created, though:
- The base attack damage of the unit in the object editor must be 0 (attack dice and dice sides doesn't matter)
- The base armor of the unit in the object editor must be 0
- The unit must have the hero inventory ability (AInv)
One important thing to know, though:
But you can always keep track of the unit levels via a simple table.
The main purpose of this snippet is to create creeps of any level without requiring a bulk of object data. You can use SetUnitMaxState snippet to adjust the life and mana values of created units.

GetUnitLevel and GetHeroLevel will not return the correct value for units created with this snippet. The former will return the level defined in the object editor and the latter will always return 0.But you can always keep track of the unit levels via a simple table.
