Gaining Exp Within A Certain Range of a Dying Enemy

[Zaraf]

How can I make it so that a hero within a certain range of a dying creep gains exp from it (when not having killed it). Much like what happens in DoTA where all allies near enemy creeps as they die gain exp.

Is there some easy way to do this or does it require some triggers? Thanks for any help!

I don't understand your problem. Heroes get xp from creeps killed by allies by default.
If you want to modify its range then go to: Advanced/Gameplay Constants - Hero Maximum XP Gain range.

Hmmm...that's what I thought it was, but it wasn't working properly for me. What about creeps that are killed from towers and not other heroes?

Nope, you are supposed to get XP from the death of every hostile unit around your hero in a certain radius. It doesn't matter if it was killed by towers or other heroes.
By default, I think, you don't gain XP from destroyed building, but you can check a field in the gameplay constants so your hero will gain xp from destroying buildings as well.
If you have a problem with not getting xp from your allies' kills then make an empty map, place some creeps for neutral hostile, some units for player 2, make it your ally, place a hero for yourself and towers and whatever and see what happens.

Ahh thanks, I found it. In Gameplay Constants, the very top one is "Build Kills Grant XP". I thought before that meant that when you destroy a building, you gain XP for it....but now I understand that it means that when a BUILDING kills something, THEN you get exp for it The exp is working now.

Update: Oops, sorry, I also thought that means if you destroy a building, you gain XP for it, but I've just tested it and I was wrong. Looks like you figured it out on your own.

Well, problem solved

You mean like this?

  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
    • ((Region centered at (Position of (Dying unit)) with size (200.00, 200.00)) contains (Ally of Killing Unit )) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Hero - Add 250 experience to (Killing unit), Show level-up graphics
