Increasing ability apon leveling up

[Karzama]

Hi

Had a similar situation with changing the level of an originally "item" ability. Previously with the "item stat bonus" abilities but now with the "item health" ability. The idea is that you pick up an item and it gives you bonus health depending on your level. The ability is not actually on the item as it is triggered to add the ability when the item is picked up, the level is then changed on pickup and level up, and removed when it is dropped.

Situation again is that the ability doesn't actually level up, even when i added a message to show the ability level (which showed correctly) it's bonuses didn't add up (it stayed level 1).

Any ideas?

P.S. I'm aware that i could set the unit as a variable but it's just to see if it would actually work (had planned to have different ones which did damage, armor, mana etc)

The Manual of Health ability is very reliable for both adding and removing HP

And dropping the Vitality Relic will not kill the hero if it has lower HP than the HP lost from the relic.

That works perfectly! Thanks! I'm guessing it'd work the same for adding mana. Any thoughts on adding armor, damage and movement speed? (I'm gunna guess those will be more complicated)

EDIT: I just tried on your map with two relics and it's stackable. Given that I'm not sure everything else will be stackable is there anyway I can remove that?

EDIT 2: Sorted the stacking thing

EDIT 3: Okay stacking failed... It works on pickup but dropping doesn't work... Seems to think that they still have the item (no loss of stats) when they don't as it was dropped..

There shouldn't be any issues with stacking anymore.

And for the other bonuses, you could use aura abilities (endurance, devotion, etc.) if the item abilities don't work the way you need them to. Although I'm pretty sure leveling the boots of speed item ability worked for me in the past with no issues.

I think there is a tome for mana, not sure though. Haven't wondered in the OE for some time.

For other stats you can use bonus mod.

Okay thanks that works perfectly! Will try some more Relics now but I think they should work fine (even if i use auras). Thanks again!
