You might need to use jass since IDK if you can convert an ability to its raw code using GUI...

but basically:
-Create an integer variable array
-Save the rawcode of each spell into an index of the array
-Then when you use the save command, just obtain the rawcode of the abilities and match it with those in the variable array to get its index and then save the index on the SaveLoad system
-Then when you use the load command, retrieve the index and use it to add the ability to the hero

But, btw, does it need to add ability to unit? or just set level of ability then the unit will also have it with the set?

 

[Adiktuz]

you need to add it first before you can set its level...

 

[Striker21]

it just not working, can you show me an trigger for that :-?
EDIT: I used:

• Trigger 1
• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set ABILITIES_SAVE[1] = Flame Strike
  • Set ABILITIES_SAVE[2] = Phoenix

Ability save part

• Trigger 2
• Actions
  • For each (Integer B) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set ABILITIES_LEVELOFABILITY[(Integer B)] = (Level of ABILITIES_SAVE[(Integer B)] for Hero)
      • Set SaveCount = (SaveCount + 1)

Ability load part

• Trigger 3
• Actions
  • Set LoadCount = (LoadCount + 1)
  • Unit - Add ABILITIES_SAVE[Load[LoadCount]] to Hero
  • Unit - Set level of ABILITIES_SAVE[Load[LoadCount]] for Hero to ABILITIES_LEVELOFABILITY[Load[LoadCount]]

What's the big deal? I think it's not even save the ability, 'cause the code when i save without ability and with ability is the same.??? Getting tired with this

 

[Adiktuz]

does the Hero have those skills? could you upload the map? it would be easier that way...

oh wait... you haven't saved the ability level into the Save[SaveCount]

your load trigger also seems wrong...

• Actions
  • Set ABILITIES_SAVE[1] = Flame Strike
  • Set ABILITIES_SAVE[2] = Phoenix

• For each (Integer B) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set SaveCount = (SaveCount + 1)
    • Set Save[SaveCount] = (Level of ABILITIES_SAVE[(Integer B)] for Hero)

• For each (Integer B) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set LoadCount = (LoadCount + 1)
    • Set Level of ABILITIES_SAVE[(Integer B)] for hero = Load[LoadCount]

Note: this is assuming that the hero already has the ability

Thanks, the save trigger looks working, the codes are change. But still problem with load.
EDIT: nope, just later post than you, testing...

 

[Adiktuz]

If you would be having multiple heroes, you can just check the UnitType of the hero before you save and load the ability levels so that you would be saving the levels of the right abilities...

 

[Striker21]

Ok, it works. Thanks a lot, but, will it... work with multiplayer? 'cause the variable Hero sounds buggy (1 as unit for all player and load ability? will it ... bug?)

 

[Adiktuz]

using your trigger it would...

but the trigger that comes with this system picks all hero units owned by the player who used the -save command and uses the PickedUnit to pertain to the hero, so that this system wont bug in multiplayer...

 

[Striker21]

So, can i fix this when change the Hero variable to a variable with Array and set it Hero[Player number of triggering player]? Affraiding it will contains errors with Jass code

 

[Adiktuz]

that would be fine, as long as you set the hero of each player to that variable...
