Hero learns ability

[TaMeD]

Hey i want to know how to set a trigger so when that unit dies and is killed by player red, player red will learn the ability to summon that unit that died by the player that killed it same with blue,teal so on

thanks.

You would probably have to trigger the ability, or create a summoning ability for every unit-type that is on your map.

If you choose the second option its easy, but could be tedious if you have a lot of types of units in your map. So it really depends.

I made this same type of ability, named Necrogenesis
Each time you kill a unit, it overrides the last killed unit and saved the new one
If you doesn't kill any further unit, the last killed unit is permanently saved until you kill the new one

I know my test map is different from what you were requesting but, it's more advanced trigger I must say
Please come back here and comments on the given test map
If you're still not satisfy, I'll be doing your true request which is:
Starting hero unit does not has ANY ability
When the hero kills a unit, a new command will be available to further level the ability, starting with level 1 of course
But, if you do this, this will involve an issue, of "leveling up abilities through red cross"
When we ADD ability using trigger, that ability CANNOT be leveled up by pressing the red cross BECAUSE the unit doesn't have the ability to begin with
However, he can level it up by using trigger:

• Unit - Set level of Necrogenesis for (Triggering unit) to ((Level of Necrogenesis for (Triggering unit)) + 1)

But the red cross will not appear (if you doesn't have ANY ability for that hero at the start of the game)

@wolfman
You doesn't need to save EVERY unit-type in that map, lol...
You can save it using trigger by variables
Take some dummy spell (like I did in my test map which is the Roar ability)
And load up the last killed unit, there you have it

Ive kinda already got that planned out its just about the triggering which im a bti confused say you kill a certain unit i want you to be able to summon that unit that you killed by using a spell for example: You kill unit (B) and you now have the ability to summon that unit. I want it so u can kill/summon over 50-100 units but you can only have a maximum of 5 summons spells and i want the summons to not run out until they die or are swapped with another summon i also want the summons to be like heroes, kill a certain unit and level up.

There, the first one sets which unit to be summoned, the second one actually summons the unit.
And if all of the spells already have units assigned to them, it will restart the process and begin to replace the summons with new units that you kill, so if you kill one unit, that will go to SpellA, the second will go to SpellB, the third will replace the one from SpellA, the fourth will replace the one from SpellB, and so on. I only made this for 2 summoning spells, but you get the idea.

SpellA and SpellB can be any spell you want, probably just use channel instant cast, make sure that you check "visible" in options and all that stuff. Also change the base order ID for each spell.

**Also, remember to fix the location leaks.

Where does he do the learning from out of 100 abilities, only 6 selected ?

 

[wolfman]

theres only 2 abilities, you just change which unit that ability can summon. But im making one with 5 abilities right now lol

 

[TaMeD]

Ok thanks for all your hard work guys its very appreciated ^ ^

 

[wolfman]

Okay, i made it heres the map
Each ability is pretty much just a slot for a creep that you can summon, and once they are all filled, they get replaced when you kill more creeps. But if your summonings kill creeps, it doesnt add that creep to one of your summoning slots. You have to use the actual guy that has the summons to fill up/replace his slots.
It also only works when you kill enemy units, so you couldnt kill your own summons to fill up the other slots.

And to make the summoned guys gain exp, you will probably have to create some kind of upgrading system for them where if they kill a certain amount of units they get an attack/health/armor/etc upgrade. Theres probly a few ways you could do this, idk what would be a very efficient way tho lol

Ok thanks guys for all your hard work looking at the map now

 

[defskull]

The only way is to make that unit, a Hero... lol
Pre-set it in Object Editor, it's a MUST

Well then you would have to make a custom exp system, unless you would want the creeps to gain exp from killing your summons and stuff xD which i guess wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.. lol

EDIT:
Actually, you could probably just periodically set all units owned by neutral hostile to have 0 exp, that would probly be easier

 

[defskull]

A default one, is always better than custom one
EXP System for Normal Unit-type ?
Awh god..
