Hero gain exp through another unit.

[PajdomanMokri]

I made a hero who posesses units, and I need a way to make hero gain exp when the posessed unit kills a unit that has exp reward.

Basically, when unit X kills an enemy, unit Y gets exp reward.

I sense it's pretty simple and that I just can't find the right trigger.

This simple,but this thread should be in the triggers and scripts section,I think
[Trigger=the trigger]
Events
Units - A unit Dies

Conditions
(Killing unit) Equal to Possesed Unit <gen>
Actions
Hero - Add 100 experience to Posseser <gen>
[/trigger]

I know about that way. I was wondering if there is a way to get the amount that killed unit would normally give instead of fixed amount?

try this.. ( note that unit X must be a hero unit - can aquire exp - too )

• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
  • Condition - (Type of(Killing unit)) equals to - X unit type
• Actions
  • Custom script: local unit u = GetKillingUnit()
  • Custom script: local int i = GetHeroXP(u)
  • Custom script: call SetHeroXP(udg_YUnitVar, GetHeroXP(udg_YUnitVar)+i , true)
  • Custom script: call SetHeroXP(u,0,false)

sry EDITED

It should work , unless unit dies event occures before xp distribution:/

If your hero can posses non-hero units, it will need more work.

if thats the situation then there is no other way AFAIK
I can only imagine a DDS which is able to change the damage source

If his skill can posses non-hero units there is 2 option

1)Moving a dummy hero with possessed unit.

2)When possesed unit kills a unit (or some alliance), calculate the amount of experience that possesed would receive if it was a hero.

hm the 1) is should be a good workaround but 2) is not possible with default warcraft3 xp distribution , unless there is some logical sequence how he set the xp bounty for units:/

 

[Ceday]

Yeah there is a formula, you just need to know 4 values from gameplay constants.This is how default exp looks like.

xp bounty for level 1 creep = 25
xp bounty for level X creep = xp bounty for level X-1 creep + 5*X + 5

25,40,60,85..... and so on(+5 addition)

there is also a formula for heroes.
