Help with hero upgrading

[Leontich]

Barev tuxek. I need some help regarding my warcraft 3 map (of course). So I don't know if any of you have played the Nyne's Swords n Armor, but there is a really cool mechanic I cant figure out how to use. So basically the hero starts off as rank one, then when it reaches level 3, it turns into a rank 2 hero and resets to level 1, while retaining all of its upgrades and items. I can't find out how to do that so I'd appreciate the help.

There seems to be a lot of this going on lately. Check this out and just go off of either the trigger I created or what Maker is saying the metamorphasis/ bear form ability. If you need more help, all you have to do is ask!

Well I want it to be like this. A human rank 1 hero gets lvl 3 and turns into a rank 2 human. At level 5 he gets rank 3. At level 10 is 4 and so on. (theres multiple races)

Start off with something like this

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
    • (Race of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Human
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • "Your Actions"
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 5
      • Then - Actions
        • "Your Actions"
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 10
      • Then - Actions
        • "Your Actions"
      • Else - Actions

You can copy + paste this and have 4 of these triggers, one for each race. Where it says "Your Actions" I would recommend using the code I made.

Code

• Set ReplacedUnit_u = (Killing Unit)
  • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Killing unit))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated) Equal to "YourItem"
    • Then - Actions
      • Set UnitExperience_int = (Hero experience of ReplacedUnit_u)
      • Set Strength_int = (Strength of ReplacedUnit_u (Exclude bonuses))
      • Set Agility_int = (Agility of ReplacedUnit_u (Exclude bonuses))
      • Set Intellignece_int = (Intelligence of ReplacedUnit_u (Exclude bonuses))
      • Set Item_i[0] = (Item-type of (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 1))
      • Set Item_i[1] = (Item-type of (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 2))
      • Set Item_i[2] = (Item-type of (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 3))
      • Set Item_i[3] = (Item-type of (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 4))
      • Set Item_i[4] = (Item-type of (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 5))
      • Set Item_i[5] = (Item-type of (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 6))
      • Set ItemCharges_int[0] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 1))
      • Set ItemCharges_int[1] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 2))
      • Set ItemCharges_int[2] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 3))
      • Set ItemCharges_int[3] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 4))
      • Set ItemCharges_int[4] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 5))
      • Set ItemCharges_int[5] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by ReplacedUnit_u in slot 6))
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (ReplacedUnit_u)) Equal to "YourUnit"
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Set (ReplacedUnit_u) experience to 0, Hide level-up graphics
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Hero - Drop the item from slot (Integer A) of (ReplacedUnit_u)
            • Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
        • Unit - Hide (ReplacedUnit_u)
        • Unit - Remove (ReplacedUnit_u) from the game
        • Unit - Create 1 "YourNewUnit" for (Owner of (ReplacedUnit_u)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions
      • Set NewUnit_u = (Last created unit)
      • Hero - Set NewUnit_u experience to UnitExperience_int, Hide level-up graphics
      • Hero - Modify Strength of NewUnit_u: Set to Strength_int
      • Hero - Modify Agility of NewUnit_u: Set to Agility_int
      • Hero - Modify Intelligence of NewUnit_u: Set to Intellignece_int 0 to 5, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Hero - Create Item_i[(Integer A)] and give it to NewUnit_u
          • Item - Set charges remaining in (Last created item) to ItemCharges_int[(Integer A)]
  • Else - Actions
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Where it says "YourNewUnit" place the unit you want to upgrade to for that level.

 

[Leontich]

Do those two go together? I'm not really an uber pro at this btw. I can barely understand it >.<

 

[13oot-Me]

Yes, they go together, and don't worry, i'm not uber pro either I edited the trigger, since you said the unit went back to level 1 that means you don't have to save the experience or attributes of the hero.

First thing's first, you want to place those variables, here is a list of the ones you will need. they don't have to be the same name as mine, but everything else must match!

Item_i = Item-Type Array
ItemCharges_int = Integer Array
ReplacedUnit_u = Unit
TempPoint = Point
UpgradedUnit_u = Unit

Now that you have made those variables you can begin making the trigger!
