Level of ability does not want to raise!?

[RobertMKD]

I add an item ability to a unit through a trigger as a part of ability, and try to increase it's level also by triggers, but it does not want to increase.. the rest of the actions are executed while the action for increasing level isn't, I've also tried setting a level, but that didn't work either.. what's the problem?

There are some abilities where this is impossible. Either upload a testmap or name the ability you can not level up.

 

[RobertMKD]

it's item ability (+3 intelligence)

 

[Ezekiel12]

That is one of those which can not be leveled.

 

[RobertMKD]

How do I know which abilities can be levelled-up?

 

[Ezekiel12]

Have a look at this thread. I can not guarantee for the info presented there though.

I don't know about that specific one, but item bonus abilities are usually have that problem.

You can try using attribute bonus ability.

 

[RobertMKD]

Uhh, well that's a shame :/..

how do you mean not use item bonus abilities, use attribute bonus abilities instead, att. bonus abilities are bonus abilities... u see, i've used bonus int and it didn't levelled up

 

[Ceday]

There is an ability which can increase all stats (str, agi, int).Use that.

Its name is "Attribute bonus", it has a plus shaped icon, it is under neutral hero abilities category.

Ah I remember now, thanks mate.

Edit: Do you know how can I avoid the lag when I make a unit learn an ability that has like 20-50 levels?

There's no way to avoid the lag, but you can give it to a unit at the start of the game so that it is already loaded by the time some other unit gains it. It only does the laggy load once.

 

[RobertMKD]

Ah, thanks for the advice, you really helped me

 

[RobertMKD]

Wait, how do I make the unit unable to learn this ability through the 'Hero Abilities' (how to make it's button invisible)? Cause it's learnable. I've tried setting Data - Hide Button, but that does not help..

 

[SAUS]

Make it so it isn't a hero ability. This is the Attribute Bonus hero ability, right? You should be able to just change 'Hero Ability - True' to 'Hero Ability - False'. You are only levelling it with triggers, right?

 

[RobertMKD]

Yep, that's right, thanks again mate!

edit: Hey, wait! How can a Hero learn a non-hero ability? 0_0

 

[Daffa]

Trigger the learning

 

[Rheiko]

Yup, make the hero to learn that ability through your trigger.

 

[RobertMKD]

I know that, but I need to make the hero learn that ability on initialization, cause it has 50 levels and if I make a hero learn it, it lags the game. Imagine 10 heroes of the same type learn it in a same time..
I need to set it through object editor, but the unit is a hero so it allows him to learn it in-game.

 

[PublishedShadow]

Why do you need an ability that has 50 levels if you are learning the ability at level 50 from the start? Or am I not understanding what you mean?

 

[RobertMKD]

? You don't learn it at level 50.
I use this ability to give bonus stat to a hero (but I want it to be shown like +3 with green, that's why I don't use the action for this)

It would be the same as 1 hero learning it. The "lag" (frame drop) is caused by the ability being loading. You can change unit abilities dozens of times per frame without causing the next frame to be dropped.

Anyway base it on the Neutral Hostile ability "Attribute Bonus". If you played the Rexar TFT bonus campaign you would understand. That supports levelling unlike item abilities.
