Ok, im using bear form for a hero, i have the main hero and his 5 levels of the bear form...I want to save the levels of 2 of his abilities and give the bear form new ones, problem is it only saves the level of the abilities you have currently into the hashtable, and never updates them....i need an addition to my trigger that updates Tempint3 and 4 to the CURRENT level when they turn into the Tiger, which is Ulti Fix (the tiger model form) Ulti Fix Copy is the Human form...need the level of Tempint3 and 4 to either update when they level the ability...or update every so many seconds while they are in human form (Ulti Fix Copy)

      • Trigger - Turn on Ulti Fix <gen>
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

EDIT: ok i got that to work but now i need my trigger to set the actual level of Hatchet Heel and Dragon Claw to the correct levels, in this trigger it does this

  • Unit - Set level of Hatchet Reel for (Triggering unit) to TempInt2
  • Unit - Set level of Dragon Claw for (Triggering unit) to TempInt
  • Set TempInt3 = (Level of Dragon Claw for (Triggering unit))
  • Set TempInt4 = (Level of Hatchet Reel for (Triggering unit))
Which pretty much means it saves the new ability instantly, is there a trigger that can update those 2 variables if the person levels up the ability while in regular form? right now it just saves the ability levels, then keeps loading the same levels every time, i want the trigger to update it since this is going to be in an AoS, people will be leveling the abilities all the time =(

+rep if you can help me...im really stuck now =(

Apparently it's impossible to remove hero abilities... But there is a solution. Just disable the abilities you don't want to be visible, and then when the player switches form back, enable them again.
Player -> Enable/Disable ability

Also this way you don't have to set ability levels

First off, don't remove the abilities, disabling them is enough, they won't be shown, and the hero will get them back at the very same level when you enable them.

Also, you can use the same thing to disable Rake and Prowl too, when he is in his human form.

I think this is what causes your problems, since when abilities are removed, their level is set back to 0, therefore variables always returned same value. Normally they would be updated each time the trigger runs.

Hmm, the human form doesnt have the tiger abilities, its the tiger with human, but even if it is me removing the abilities, the fact it is loading the SAME level over and over after the 3rd switch, 1st and 2nd switch work, means that the hashtable is saving wrong, even if i dont need the remove/add, it would still give me the right level if the hashtable was updating properly im pretty sure..

Just add the tiger abilities and disable them on map initialization, so they become enabled when the player switches form.

According to returning same values over and over again... Look at this.
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Kevinn Equal to False
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Kevinn = True
      • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
      • Set HashTable2 = (Last created hashtable)
      • Set TempInt = (Level of Dragon Claw for (Triggering unit))
      • Set TempInt2 = (Level of Hatchet Reel for (Triggering unit))
Contruction of your trigger makes this if block run only once, and thus the variables get updated only once, when the trigger runs for the very first time.

Get rid of this if-block, since it's pointless. Put the hashtable creation part in your map initialization trigger. And those two variables somewhere, where they will do their job.

Edit; ah, damn it.
You don't even need to set the levels of those abilities. Unless i understood you wrong and you wish ability of, say, Rake to be equal to level of Hatchet Reel, etc.

Yes. Or disable them when the player picks the hero, it doesn't make much of a difference.
And blah, if it's your first time using a hashtable, then you've done it better than i did... I've been clueless when i first saw them :|

That was one thing of which i wasn't sure. Gotta update it.

Just add them to the hero or his bearform via the Object Editor. It should all be working then.

Oh snap. Then we're screwed.

Seriously tho... Do all of those abilities have to be learned separately? Ie. can't you, for example, make the Tiger Form level dependant on other learnable skill?
Bah, i guess that's pointless, since that would free up only one slot...

Well, then you have only one solution left, which i wanted to suggest at the beggining, but then i came up with disabling the ability and thought it was a better idea - replacing hero with another unit.
Make a copy of your hero, give him the tiger model/everything you want him to have in cat form. Then by triggers replace the hero with this new unit, as well as items and other stuff.

Well the trigger i am using now does this:

1st Cast (To Tiger) - Loads up the ability at the right level (level 2 for both)
2nd Cast (To Rexxar Guy) - Still at level 2, which is what is supposed to happen.
3rd Cast (Back To Tiger) - First 2 skills Dissapear

Is the 3rd cast because he doesnt have any more skill slots so it breaks? or could it be something in my trigger lol

Also in your trigger you have it save first, without loading the value or changing the skill, so wouldnt it just stay at the level is had it set in the first place? it keeps replacing the LOAD with the new SAVE in the trigger..

If you think its the max skill limit ill just make the 2nd unit with the updated exp/level/items and skill levels =P but if you think it could be my trigger then i still have hope, been working on this trigger for about 3-5 hours now lol

Uhh. I don't know, i'm kind of too tired to think (3 AM here....)
Nonetheless, i'll try

I'm sure the trigger i posted is working correctly, it first saves levels of abilities, because it couldn't do it later, since the unit wouldn't have the abilities anymore. Then it enables the tiger abilities and sets their level, directly loading it from the hashtable, integer variables are not required here

Regarding the skill limit, that's the barrier we can't cross without heavily changing all your other abilities. So i'd say, just make a copy of your hero with all the tiger skills, and replace those two units as neccessary with
  • Unit - Replace your_unit with another_unit using old units life and mana
as well as items and such. That's by far the most straightforward and simple solution out here.


...damn, i really need to get some sleep. In case you couldn't get it working, just post here your progress, i'll answer back in ca. 8 hours.

Well, setting level doesn't work because the unit doesn't have the ability. Does the tiger form have those abilities? Ie. Rake, Prowl, Feline Prowess and Training? You should add them via the Object Editor

And don't store Triggering unit to a variable, it's not needed, since Triggering unit is not affected by waits or anything. Also, i checked the ReplaceUnit function - you don't have to store hero XP and items, if both units are heroes it does it by default.
So now you only need to store ability levels before replacing the unit, since it will get removed and you won't be able to retrieve this information later.


In case tiger form has those learnable hero abilities, but for some strange reason it still doesn't work, then just use Unit - Add ability to add them.
Oh, and i noticed one possible inconveniece... When you replace the unit, it removes the old one, which means that all cooldowns will be reset. In case this would be a major problem for you, i can write you a jass function that will preserve the old unit so that players wouldn't be able to reset cooldowns by switching forms all the time.

Also, i didn't notice that before, in case skill points are still here, you can subtract them with
  • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of your_unit: subtract ((Level of Rake for your_unit) + (Level of Prowl for your_unit) + ...and other trainable hero abilities))

Oh, whoops, seems like I overestimated warcraft's mechanics. The replacement function works perfectly, but i just can't get rid of the hero icon, it persists on the interface even when I hide the unit, pause it, give it locust ability...
Unless there is some Jass function of which I dont know, the only way to fix this is to disable the hero icon via Object Editor. You could disable the icon for your tiger unit, so that it would look less weird to the player.
It's called Statistics - Hero - Hide hero icon, or something like that. Right beneath movement section.


Edit: Facepalm, nevermind, i solved it by simply giving ownership over the unit to neutral player. Attaching map.

Yes, they won't affect each other in any way.
Click to expand...

b. write: call UnitReplace(udg_name_of_your_unit_variable, 'rawcode_unit_type_of_your_new_unit', udg_name_of_your_hashtable, number_of_key_used_to_save_the_unit_in_the_hashtable)

Is this the only way i can replace my units now? i tried using my old trigger i had that replaces upon casting ability and it doesnt seem to be working now..

And why is that saving to a hashtable? im not using a hashtable anymore in my trigger lol

EDIT: Nvm, i had it set to "Replace Caster" when i removed the variable caster earlier...my bad =D

You can still replace the units using the normal action (Unit - Replace unit). It's impossible to alter the way actions work using Jass functions

And why is that saving to a hashtable? im not using a hashtable anymore in my trigger lol
Click to expand...
Hashtable is used inside the function to swap between the two units without the need to remove them/create new ones. Im sure you're using a hashtable in some other trigger, so i guess it doesn't make that much of a difference.

So anyway, i hope everything's working as intended? :)

Does the casting unit get hidden?
And did you create the unit in the first place?

Also... Am i wrong or did you just re-do my function in GUI? ;p If you have any problems using it, just ask
Click to expand...


It did get hidden, and i saved it before i replaced him in my first trigger into hash, it just doesnt show up and doesnt give me control..it was working before and i forgot what i did -_-

and yeah, i took ur ideas and rewrote it kinda...im trying to learn how to do these things not have them done for me =P

Everything seems to be correct... There is no other reason left other than unit being saved in a wrong/different handle/not saved at all.
You should save the unit that gets hidden to a handle of unit that is shown, and vice versa. I'd place it at the end of your trigger (before the wait), just to be sure it refreshes and saves the correct unit.

To see ingame whether the handle has anything saved, use
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Unit saved: ) + (Name of (Load 7 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hashtable))
Also, you no longer have to store items in a hashtable, since you don't remove the unit. You can simply give them to the shown unit
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Hero - Give (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A)) to Caster

Please correct me if im wrong but, cant you control what abilties a unit has through bear form with object editor? like it says Orignal unit and Alternate unit, just give the alternate unit the abilities u want that form to have, abilities dont transfer over through bear form, they have to be issued through object editor that the alternate unit has those same abilities.

As far as i've tested, hero abilities (of the alternate form) are not retained after shapeshifting. And he, as far as i understood, wants the player to be able to attain level and learn hero skills in both forms.
Theoretically you could use the bear form ability to switch models and abilities etc., but it would require some more triggers and workarounds. It's simplier to just replace the two units and set level of abilities appropriately.

@Kevinn
  • Hashtable - Save Handle Of Target as 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hashtable
That's the problem. You're saving it as 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)). You should save it as Key of Tiger Aspect.
But you need to save the Tiger Aspect as well:
  • Hashtable - Save Handle of Tiger Aspect as 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hashtable
