Level up dead heroes.

[NecroVirus]

Hello, so in my map the heroes only level up if they defeat a boss. Problem is, some heroes could be dead when these bosses die. What kind of trigger can I set up so every hero is the same level on this adventure?

Normally you can pick all heroes and then change their levels however I don't think this works on dead heroes. But as an alternative, you can level up each heroes by storing them inside a variable array and then change their levels.

Hmm what would that look like though? You mean like a periodic every 2 seconds change hero to x level?

I think you can set hero levels (or at the very least their experience) even when they are dead. I currently do that in my map with no problem.

However, another solution if level up functions don't work for dead heroes could be to add a boolean flag "shouldLevelUp[playerNumberHere]" (or w/e name) and set it to true for dead heroes when a boss is defeated.

When a hero respawns, check if that boolean is true and add a level, then set the flag to false. Or, per Warseeker, store the "current team level" as an integer and always set levels on respawn. I think there are a few ways to fix this. Did you try setting levels already for dead heroes?

Not really.

A unit dies

Dying unit Equal to Boss X

For each 1 to MaxHeroes do : Set level of Hero[Integer A] to (Level of Hero[Integer A] + 1]

Hmm are you sure that will work when they are dead though? It seems very similar to the triggers I'm using.

That actually sounds like it might be on the right path, setting a integer trigger check for when a hero revives!
