detecting un-picked hero spells

[Bond009]

i know you can detect spells a hero has with
(Level of Wind Walk for (Picked unit)) Greater than 0

but i dont think that detects spells the hero has that havent been picked/leveled up yet, is there a way?

 

[Mr_Bean]

• (Level of Wind Walk for (Picked unit)) Equal to 0

This will be true if the unit does not have the ability at all or if they haven't learned it yet.

 

[Bond009]

yeah that doesn't help me much though because i need to detect if the hero has the skill without them actually having it picked yet.

• Conditions
  • (Unspent skill points of (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0

or
GetHeroSkillPoints(GetTriggerUnit()) > 0

 

[Bond009]

thanks, never noticed that before i gotta think how i can use that to help me detect if they have wind walk though, im sure it can help somehow though

What you want to create at first place, maybe we can offer another way that you maybe missed.

 

[Bond009]

i need to detect if a hero has the ability wind walk even if they havent leveled it up yet

It's for your CHF map?
Well when you sell item/unit or whatever, when you pick WW as ability, do your things then

Hero - Modify unspent skill points of Blademaster: Add 1 point
Hero - Learn skill for Blademaster: Orc Blademaster - Wind Walk
Level of Wind Walk for Blademaster == 1
Unit - Remove Wind Walk from Blademaster

PS when I saw this thread I thought you want to detect which skills were unlearned through use of tome of retraining, then I thought omg that's impossible, gotta tell him, and you should name threads like Detect Not Yet Learned Abilities. Just a friendly advice.

Alternativly you could use a hashtable to map such data in an efficient way. The problem is this does de-couple the script from the abilites so you will need to keep integrity manually.
