I can't pick some PowerUps

[Spartipilo]

¡Hi Again!

in My RPG each hero has 4 skills: Int, Agi, Str, and -Hp/Mp (+10)-.
Str, Agi, and Int works fine... BUT... i'm having problems with -Hp/Mp (+10)- skill.

The Skill is triggered to give the hero a Health Manual (that gives 10hp) and a Mana Manual (That gives 10mp), but when I lvl up -Hp/Mp (+10)- it just increases Hp, and drops the Mana Manual.

The Mana Manual is a based on "Item Mana Bonus (100)". All other manuals (Dmg, Str, Agi, Int, Hp) have common WC3 tomes/powerups, but there are no Mana Manuals, that's why i attempted to create one this way, but doesn't work.

Everything works just fine, but Mana Manuals just keep going on to the floor, and are unable to pick by my custom hero, or any other regular WC3 hero.

I'm sure someone can tell me how to create a working Mana-Manual. All i wan't it to do is to increase Hero mana by 10, just as Health manual

You do not need items at all. There is a bug with this ability. When a unit gains it, the ability's bonus of the first level is applied, when you change the level, the bonus is not adjusted but when you remove the ability then from this other level, its bouns is subtracted, thereby leaving the unit with a difference in mana than before and without having the ability, so the process can be repeated and it is stackable. There are systems around abusing this bug like BonusMod.

You mean, i just have to "Add ability" and "Remove ability", and the ability effect will remain?

Set up two levels for the ability, first one giving no mana, second one -5 for example.

Add ability to unit, set its level on this unit to 2, remove ability. Result: unit has 5 more max mana.

I'll try but, meanwhile... Why "minus 5"?

Ok, i see... i used "Positive 10" and it lowers my mana... But the editor doesn't let me use negative numbers =/ How can i use negative number? I'm only using common WC3 editr

It's one of many wierd issues wih war3. Substracting mana/hp comes up with increasing unit's max mana & hp.
If you set value to '+5' it will result with unit having less hp/mana.

EDIT: To enable negative values go File -> Preferences tick 'Enable negative values'.
Use Shift + double click on given field to enter value as you desire.

Because the system will try to subtract the bonus of the current level when removing the ability.

How can I use negative numbers? The system doesn't let me do it
EDIT: Nothing, i already read

EDIT: ¡Worked! ¡Great!. Does this work for other bonusses as well?

 

[WaterKnight]

It works for life, mana and sight range as I recall. Base damage can be done with tomes and bonus damage/armor/attackspeed via remaining abilities on the unit. See the BonusMod library for example I posted above.

¡Great! Problem solved.
