Help adding ability to a Hero

[Davy Jones]

I want to add a ability to a hero after it purchases an item.

• Item abilities
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set itemege = (Item being manipulated)
    • Set hero = (Hero manipulating item)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Item-type of itemege) Equal to Stat Increase
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Command to hero
        • Unit - Set level of Command for hero to ((Level of Command for hero) + 1)
      • Else - Actions
    • Item - Remove itemege

It just won't work. Can someone help me?

Doesn't matter if it's a hero or non hero ability. All I need is a ability. That's all.

Any ability that (increase none-hero stat and is item ability ) cant level up

 

[Davy Jones]

I was gonna set that to something like "if hero has ability, level it up"

I doubt that's the source of the problem.

It works for me: Simple Ability Leveling Item System - defskull

 

[Davy Jones]

But I want heroes to gain the ability.

Also the Simple Ability Leveling Item System - defskull doesn't work.

Have you downloaded my test map?
The Blood Mage will gain the Flame Strike ability upon taking the Tome of Power.

 

[defskull]

Actually, what spell are you adding ?

 

[Davy Jones]

Yup. Just won't add my abilities...


I'm trying to add a stat increase.

• Item abilities
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Stat Increase
  • Actions
    • Set abilityitem = Flame Strike
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of abilityitem for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add abilityitem to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Increase level of abilityitem for (Triggering unit)

 

[defskull]

To start with, we have 3 different abilities type; Hero Ability | Unit Ability | Item Ability

You can't mix them up like giving Flame Strike to normal unit (without editing them in Object Editor first)

Perhaps, that ability itself is not Hero Ability, but instead an Item Ability

You can't add Item Ability to a Hero, because it requires a Hero Ability.

Why don't you just use Tome of STR/AGI/INT to increase the Hero's stats ?

You can find them in Object Editor -> Abilities Tab -> Item STR/AGI/INT Gain

 

[Davy Jones]

Nah, it's not the item ability thing. The ability is hero.

Not even flame strike won't work on my map for no reason.

 

[Davy Jones]

Are you sure your system isn't broken?

Cause it isn't working for me for no reason when I import it.

 

[defskull]

I imported it to another map, everything went great.
What do you meant 'not working for me' ?
Perhaps you did not set the variable to a correct item.

Or you did not enable this:
1. World Editor
2. File
3. Preferences...
4. General Tab
5. Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data

You should enable that by ticking it.
