[Spell] Iten ability

[kharza]

Can I make someway a fully working unit/hero ability from an item ability without triggers?

Depends on which ability you base it on. But for the most parts, yes. Just test if it works before you start typing tooltips (make it a hero ability, give it some levels and give it to a lvl 10 hero and test your map).

Like abilites like item health gain doesn't work, but Build Tiny Altar would probably work.

But for an ability like mana bonus i need triggers too, right?

If I make a hero ability from it only level 1 works, but the following levels
doesn´t.

That's right, mana and hit point bonuses work differently from other abilities (bug?). Also, some icons of item abilities won't be shown in the game, so those abilities require a separate ability for showing the icon and tooltip, and the level of that ability must be updated through triggers.

That is right, you will need a few triggers.
The triggers however are very easy.
Look at this thread and read that last post by shadowvzs.

He has the main trigger as a JASS trigger because he wants it in the header. You can ofcource make it in GUI if you want that.
The point is that he gives the unit the +max hp/mp ability that has 0 effect on level 1.
Then he changes the level of that ability (without changing the effect) and removes the ability and therefor reverses the effect. (- max hp/mp of the current level.)

You can use this in any ability that you want.

If you want an example just tell me then I will make it.
(I am not in the mood of making examples if they are not used anyway XD)
