Disable experience gain from certain units?

[stalkerfox]

is it possible to disable experience gain from a certain unit summoned via trigger?

i have a hero that summons weak monsters when he attacks but those weak monsters level up the enemy A LOT eventually

is there a way to disable experience gain from killing specifically those units? not looking to disable hero experience gain but to just so that those units award no gold or experience at all

Since experience is calculated with unit level, setting their level to 0 should work I guess (it'll require Shift+Enter)

Another arcane solution would be to prevent lethal damage to the summons with a trigger, then immediately kill them manually with a trigger action. That shouldn’t give experience.

I think level 0 is better. Check what the other summon spells do? Surely Water Elemental doesn’t give experience in Melee.

There is this "Gameplay Constant" called "Hero XP Gained - Summoned Unit Factor".
If you want ALL summons to give 0 exp, you might be able to add a "summoned" classification to the created unit and set that to 0.
(have not tested this myself)

Water Elemental gives experience, part of what makes summons balanced is the fact that you can "feed" the enemy heroes exp if you spam them.

Anyway, Level 0 makes the most sense. I wonder if you could change the Level during the "A unit dies" Event using the SetUnitInteger function, and create a setup where the Level remains at a desired amount until the unit dies. The hope is that the experience gain occurs after the Event fires but I imagine that's not the case. Probably not necessary though...
