Custom Variables?

[Limitless]

Okay now this might seem like a SUPER noob question, but in all these tutorials and online guides to custom spells/abilities I see, they tell you to create a variable where x = level of ability, so like for a real basic triggered spell that deals 200 damage first level, 400 damage second level, 600 damage third level, and so on and so forth, I get how to put the damage output in, but how do I make it so that it deals 200 dmg IF it's level 1, or 400 dmg IF it's level 2, and so on. Thanks for the help

• Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (200.00 x (Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))))) damage...l

You need to select Arithemtic from the list to get the A x B. Then for the ability level, you need to use Conversion - convert integer to real.

Not sure I understand, how do I convert an integer? And which list am I supposed to find Arithmetic in? Sorry but I'm really new to this D:

And which list am I supposed to find Arithmetic in? Sorry but I'm really new to this D:

When clicking to edit the damage amount, select Arithmetic from the function list. It is almost at the top of the list.

Then it says 1.00 + 1.00 under it. Click the first 1.00 and set it to 200. For the other 1.00, click it and select Conversion - convert integer to real from the function list. It then says Real(Point value of Footman) under it. Change the point value to Unit - Level of ability.

ahh okay thanks, now i get it

but there's another problem, when i learn the ability (it's based off channel) nothing happens, meaning once i learn it it doesn't go into my actionbar, is there something im doing wrong?
