Level Hero Ability added by Triggers

[UreDe4D]

Hi everyone,

is there any way to level hero abilities that were added by triggers via the regular hero skill points? i can't seem to by able to add skill points to the hero to level the abilities.


Alternatively, maybe you have a different approach to what i'm trying to achieve.
Each Hero learns 1 out of 2 abilities per level up until level 4 (so in total 8 abilities to choose from). From level 5 onward i want them to be able to level one of their previously learned abilities. I'm currently using a chat command to let players add one of the 2 available abilities per level.

As youve probably figured out, each hero can have 5 hero abilities. My answer will be focused on the vanilla way to transform one ability to another and will be simplified to its very basic components. The way to transform one ability to another is achieved via the Engineering Upgrade ability. In this iteration its required that the hero ability is not yet learned for it to be able to transform correctly. I will be posting a demo map containing the basic components and explain a couple of things about it for clarification.

Map contains:
1 transform ability that is given 5 times to the hero
1 engineering upgrade ability that transforms one of the transform abilities to summon water elemental for the hero
1 trigger to hide the transform ability at map init so that it cant be learnt before its transformed
1 trigger to unlock an ability to be learned by hero by pressing esc (this trigger unlocks an ability dependant on which engineering upgrade that is given, in this case an ability that changes one of the transform abilities into summon water elemental)

HI, thanks.

From what i can tell from the map that does solve my problem. I would have probably never thought of that solution.
Gonna try it out on the weekend

Edit: it works, one thing i want to add, the transform ability needs to have at least the same number of levels as the replacement, otherwise you don't get skill points to level them
