[Solved] Increasing an attacks number of targets via a trigger not working

[waterlong]

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
• Conditions
  • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Cleaving Glaive
• Actions
  • Unit - Set Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Weapon Integer Field: Attack Maximum Number Of Targets ('utc1')at Index:0 to Value: (((Level of Cleaving Glaive for (Triggering unit)) x 2) + 3)

I've got a Huntress hero in my map with her usual her attack that bounces twice and an ability that's supposed to increase the number of bounces by 2 as you level that ability.
I can't seem to get this triggers "action" to do anything though and I'm not sure why.

A lot of those Field actions don't work. It's safe to assume anything "outside of the norm" is not implemented properly.

Did you set her weapon type to Missile (bounce)?

 

[waterlong]

Yeah, its set to bounce. The attack its self works great. Bounces twice and everything. It just didn't then bounce 5 times after taking a level in cleaving glaive. I tried a bunch of different stuff but it seems like "Weapon Integer Field: Attack Maximum Number Of Targets" is just broken like Uncle said.

Which is unfortunate.

I went messing around with triggers giving upgrade levels instead and that seemed to well enough work.

Learning the editor is an adventure lol

Adding/Removing Bounces

So I have an ability that gives bouncing attacks for a duration, it is all working fine minus that the caster retains the bouncing effects after the buff is gone. I'm not sure what I'm missing as the triggers to start and end it are practically identical but the number of targets doesn't seem to...

Wonder if upgrades will solve this for you? Since reforged has enabled decreasing researches.
Attack Taget Count that is.

Did you try 1 as index instead of 0? They are very inconsistent with their indices

Oh, thanks. I totally missed that thread. my bad for posting a similar thread.

but the upgrade system seems to work pretty well. Kinda better in some ways.
Didn't know downgrading was reforged addition but that seems to work so far.

A lot of the places I read said index 0 referred to weapon 1 so I didn't really experiment much with that.

The fields are not consistent, and it's worth trying since nothing else seems to work and it's just 1 number in one line of code. Most are 0-indexed but some are 1-indexed.

Index 1 worked! I feel a little dumb now.
Do you think it's because "Weapon Integer Field: Attack Maximum Number Of Targets ('utc1')" wants index 1 for attack 1 or if its priest of the moon hero's first attack is index 1?
Or action type just defaulting to 0 as a probably unintentional troll D:?

 

[Pyrogasm]

That field just starts at 1. Others start at 0. It should be consistent for all units, just whether it starts on 0 or 1 is inconsistent across different fields.
