Hello again. This has some weird interaction, because it does increase the level of ability Difficulty Life Bonus, but the life bonus remains at -100. I attached a picture of object editor data.

And the Difficulty Damage Bonus works as should.

Increasing ability level doesn't work for some item abilities, like the health bonus.
You'd have to make multiple copies of the ability, one ability for each intended "level", and add-remove these abilities instead of just leveling up one.

 

[DoomBlade]

Ahhh, that explains it. Thank you very much

A quirk about the health bonuses is that if you remove the ability it will remove the amount of health it should have added for that level (even though it only added level 1’s health and nothing else). This is how BonusMod worked.

 

[DoomBlade]

It's fine for me thought. I'm not going to remove the ability. I just add the ability once. Made 12 different health bonus abilities and now the trigger runs as should.

Not sure if it applies here, but I just learned about this like a week ago. You can "refresh" an item ability by increasing it's level and then decreasing it.
Example:

• Unit - Set level of Your Item Ability for (Triggering unit) to 2
• Unit - Set level of Your Item Ability for (Triggering unit) to 1

And here's an example using a Set Ability Integer action. Without the "refresh" this trigger wouldn't work.

• Increase Item Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Test
  • Actions
    • Set i = (i + 1)
    • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: Damage Bonus )'s Integer Level Field: Attack Bonus ('Iatt') of Level: 0 to i
    • Unit - Set level of Damage Bonus for (Triggering unit) to 2
    • Unit - Set level of Damage Bonus for (Triggering unit) to 1

In this case the level 1 and 2 of the Damage Bonus ability is set to add 0 damage in the Object Editor.

Edit:
@Pyrogasm
Yeah, the life bonus ability doesn't work. I guess it can't have more than 1 level, shame.

 

[Pyrogasm]

So I imagine you can create a health bonus ability, give it two levels, and then use the same method used in the trigger.

Considering that such abilities don't even support multiple levels working fully I wouldn't count on this. But it's worth a try.

 

[DoomBlade]

I just hard triggered it like this

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Difficulty_i Equal to 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Add Difficulty Life Bonus (Level1/-100) to (Triggering unit)
  • Else - Actions

And so on
