[Solved] How to transform item abilities into hero abilites?

[Barbafire]

Good evening for everyone! I created a passive ability for one of my heroes, based on the item Runed Bracers (that gives magic resist). The problem is, that the icon simply don't show when we pick the ability from the hero ability menu. I would like some help if you already saw this problem in your project. Thanks!

The Icon shouldn't show regardless of what type of ability it is. It's designed to be hidden. The solution is to create another Ability that does display an Icon, Storm Hammers comes to mind, and then Add/Scale Runed Bracers in response to the Hero learning this new Ability.

I think I did what you said. I used a passive ability as a dummy, and i called the effect via triggers. Tested, and worked well. Now I only need to replicate the triggers for the tier 2 and tier 3 magics (that are the same, but more powerful), and my problem will be fully solved. Thanks for the help!

EDIT: It's good to know that this works, because I think I can use any item ability this way, to make more variety of spells.

That Event runs each time the Skill is leveled up, not just the first time it's learned so you don't need multiple triggers for this. Simply use an If Then Else statement that checks the Level of the ability for the unit.

For example:
If level of learned skill is 1 then Add the runed bracers ability ELSE increase the level of the runed bracers ability by 1

You could also give it runed bracers by default in the OE but make level 1 of that ability actually do nothing (all level 1 stats set to 0 or 1.00 whatever would have no effect) and then just always set the level of the RB ability = (real ability level + 1) and you never have to worry about adding it.

I will see what will fit better (easier for me to do). Thanks for the help! I will try it.
