[Trigger] Help!!!! with units to gain xp

[barc0deguy]

Hi there.. i am working on a college project..on warcraft editor...
I am in need of help...with making my units gain xp every time they kill an opponent unit.. Is that possible... I am aware that in warcraft only hero's gain xp..but is there anyway i can make a group of unit gain experience points?

No. not in the traditional sense.

You could create a system which handled "experience points" for the units, or you could use heroes instead.

Try using Bribe's UnitIndexer (GUI)

Then, you can use an integer array to store unit experience

• GiveXP
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempInt = (Custom value of (Killing unit))
    • Set XP[TempInt] = (XP[TempInt] + ___)

Use heroes. Not units.

If you want custom units with exp, make custom units based on standard heroes.

For example open the object editor and copy/paste "paladin" which will make a custom copy you'll be free to edit.

There are some great beginner's tutorials around -

Lets see.. ¿What's the effect of experience on these units?... If it has no effect do:

1- Set an amount of exp for every creep.
2- Create a Hashtable and create a variable to handle that hash (Set ExpHash = last created hashtable. Name doesn't really matter)
2- When the creep dies, pick every unit in about 500~800 range and give these units the CreepExp divided by the amount of units which belongs to allies of the Killing Unit. (That way each unit gets exp. We assume the range as they helped)
3- ¿How to give the exp?
3.1 - Create an integer variable = i
3.2 - Inside the "Pick every unit" loop do

• Custom script: set udg_i = GetHandleId(GetEnumUnit())

3.3 Save the amount of exp (CreepExp / #Units in range) as 0 of i in ExpHash

That way the trigger will store the amount of exp inside each unit Unit ID (Which is unique per unit). You can use another trigger to clean the Unit ID data from the hashtable, and also handle the other leaks (Unit Group, Points, etc.)

A Unit Dies
->

• Custom script: Set i = GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit())

->Clear all child data of i in ExpHash

You should NEVER use i as a global. udg_i included

i, same as ExpHash, same as CreepExp, same as range pick, same as the whole method, is just an example... But good to make it clear.
