From passive to active spell with ranks

[Rip_and_Tear]

Hey guys. I'm kind of new at WE so I ain't too good at triggers and stuff...only the basics, also at the moment I'm doing my first map so I got a little question tied to another topic that was closed.

I am trying to make a passive ability become an active one, but what I found was for a lvl 1 ability... and what I am exactly tring to do is make an active dodge ability with 10 levels.

Can anyone help? Just need for 2 levels, the rest I can do it myself ^_^


Also I got this part made by MikeyDN (ty for the example):

• Trigger 1
• Events
• Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
• Ability - Ability being cast equal to <Active Critical Strike>
• Actions
• Set variable <Unit_Caster> to <casting unit>
• Unit - Add ability <Passive Critical Strike> to <Unit_Caster>
• Timer - Start timer <Timer_CriticalStrike> as a one-shot timer that will expire in XX seconds

• Trigger 2
• Events
• Game/Timer - <Timer_CriticalStrike> expires
• Conditions
• Actions
• Unit - Remove ability <Passive Critical Strike> from <Unit_Caster>

here is the easiest way to do it, and it will work for all levels

my Help

• Help
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit udg_Unit
    • Custom script: local integer udg_Int
    • Custom script: local real udg_Real
    • Set Unit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Int = (Level of ActiveCrit for Unit)
    • Set Real1 = (((Real(Int)) x 5.00) + 10.00)
    • Unit - Add HiddenCrit to Unit
    • Unit - Set level of Crit for LocalUnit to Handle
    • Wait Real1 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Remove HiddenCrit from Unit
    • Custom script: set udg_Unit=null
    • Set Int = 0
    • Set Real1 = 0

you will also need to add this trigger to a Init trigger

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Disable HiddenCrit for (Player((Integer A)))

where HiddenCrit is a Spellbook that has abillity Crit(which is based off of critical strike) in it

Ok so basically I got to use a spellbook with an ability in it being my evasion or what? Or erm...I don't get it what spells I have to use what and where

I made a test map with a active Critical Strike ability. Its MUI and leakless. It also supports unlimited levels

@Narogog
You did well by using local variable to make it MUI but to be more accurate, please use normal Wait action rather than using the Wait game-time because PolledWait is much slower than TriggerSleepAction function
Also, it is more wise to use all the function in custom script, rather than setting a local variable that is based on global variable (the udg_)

tyvm Kala!!
That was exactly what I was looking for ^_^.

And ty Narogog to you too ^_^

Still I got one questions, about hiding the spell that is being added so it won't show. I don't want it to remain visible, just blank. and if I delete the icon it's just green square ^_^. Is there any way?

Make an Spellbook called HiddenBook. Put your dodge ability in it.
Then use this trigger to disable the spellbook for all players:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Disable HiddenBook for (Player((Integer A)))

And now, instead of adding the "Dodge" ability with the trigger, add the HiddenBook.
