Creating a Custom Hero Arena Map ! Need HELP! PLEASE

[BroKeN]

People I am a young map Creator From Uzbekistan and I need HELP!!! PLEASE! I am creating some sort of a custom Hero Arena! Problems with triggering
Here is the map. People please do not just copy. And don't plagiarize the idea. I really need help! Please! If you can could you show how to do custom Hero Arenas. Or how to create "buy ability (upgradable). I need something as the map that I have attached. BroKeN's Ultimate TvTS is the map I am creating and the other map is the map that served me as the example for custom Heros. But I really can not manage to do it. Please Help me!

 

[Saishy]

Please, don't do maps that requires more knowledge than you have.
This will make your map never finish, and 99% done by others people.

And your post seems like you are yelling and running in circles desperate...

 

[BroKeN]

Thank you for your opinion. But I do not think that I have not enough knowledge for this map. I have only 1 problem. And this problem is the key one. I am yelling only because without this thing I am not able to continue the map. I need only 1 explanation, that I haven't found in any tutorials. The problem is that I have some sort of Custom Hero Arena. The main problem is:
1) I managed to do that when you buy the ability you recieve it.
you can upgrade the ability
2) but ! the upgrade system was bade on the Integer- Exucution count of the trigger "something", thus when there are more than 1 player playing, then when for exapmle Player Red buys the ability A, and Player Blue buys the ability A, Player Red learns the next level of the ability , and after Player Blue learns the ability A the level of the ability is equal to the summary of this ability being learned.
3) the dummy ability that served for basic one. I used dummy abilities that do nothing, but you buy a ablility then you learn the dummy and recieve the bought one. But the problem is that I based it on Remove Ability and Add Ability thus the dummy always remains on the 1 level. And never dissapears even if the bought ability reaches the 10th level.

If ypu can't help and do not read my problem please do not tell me that I have not enough knowledge for this certain map. I am not well qualified, but it os the only problem that I ask to be solved.

P.S. All the icons and models that I have used in my map I downloaded from this site, but I forgot to mention it in the starting screen, I am really sorry, I will fix it today.

People I really need help , I wish to finish this map before the 10th of May

Try using a array variable.
So the players can have different skills lvs.

 

[BroKeN]

I am sorry, but I am from Uzbekistan and my World Editor is Russian. Thus I do not really understand what is an array variable. could you explain it, or even more better show it (atach a picture or printscreen)

 

[Saishy]

Well...
Its a variable that you can store different things on it.

But I don't exactly know how its your system, so you may not need it.
Why don't you show us the trigger that are giving you problem?

 

[Anachron]

I would never start an arena when I can't even make a simply spell with variables oO

 

[BroKeN]

Saishy here are the triggers (as I said my WE is russian so sorry if there is incorrect translation)
Bash-dummy item
Passive ability - dummy ability

Bash

Unit-A unit recieves an item
Conditions
(Item type of (Item being manipulated)) equal to Bash

Set Unit_with_bash = (Hero manipulating item)
Item - Remove(Item being manipulated)

Bash 1

Then-Actions
Unit-Add Bash to (Learning Hero)
Unit-Set level of Bash for (Learning Hero) to (Execution count of Bash
1 <gen>)
Unit- Remove Passive Ability from (Learning Hero)
Else-Actions

Thank you very much for attention Saishy

 

[Saishy]

Well, sorry but I didn't understand all your problem right.

About the removing skill, I don't know why don't work. I never had this problem.
Try adding it to a spellbook and check the lv of the ability in the spell book to give the real one:

I am surely able to read. You said you need help with your arena, with importing stuff etc. And I think its the easiest of all oO

 

[NoobMapmaker]

You need to make Unit_with_bash an array, or else whenever a player gets the ability that player's hero get set into the variable. Or you can just make one array that stores all the heroes from everyplayer.

 

[darkrider]

to make a variable an array one, you need to go to variables, then go to your variable, and then check the little box that is under the kind of variable you want (unit, real, integer, etc) after that a box with a 1 will be available, place in there the size of the array you need (this means: that number will determinate the amount of data stored on the same variable... if you choose 10 then you will be able to store (for ie: a "unit" variable called "units") 10 different units on the "units" variable those will be "units[1]", "units[2]", etc (they dont need to be consecutive... you may use any number you want... just make sure you refer to the number of the variable you stored the data in))

if i couldnt make it easy plz ask somebody to make it easier or even in another language ^^

 

[BroKeN]

OK Thanks I got it. But how will the array variable help me with my problem?
I can solve the problem with the levels of he skill of different heroes.
But my main preoblem is another one.
The thing is that all the heroes of my map have dummy ablities that actually do nothing. Then after you by an ability as I have made an example bash. When you learn dummy ability, as an example passive_ability, you recieve the ability that you have bought. I managed to do it. But when you learn the skill the dummy skill is removes, thus the dummy skill in adding points remains 1 level! Thus on 10 level you can learn 10 times passive_skill and have bash of level 10 already! And after you still can learn the passive_ability skill , while the max level of all skills is 10. So you learn the p_a skill the bash remains 10 level, you loose adding points, you still can learn p_a. I hope you understood my problem

[BroKeN]

The preoblem is that Passive_ability always remains 1 level, thus on level 10 you can have Bash already 10 level, and you still can learn Passive Ability

 

[Sansui]

I think i fixed what you wanted... and it had little to do with the triggers and more to do with the abilities themselves.
check the Passive Ability fixed in the editor it is correct and does what you want.

just copy it for the other dummies. and then don't forget to change the heroes skills. in the unit editor.



if i still feel up to it i might decide to go ahead and show you how i would have went about doing this.
