Leveling abilities through triggers.

[Hemske]

Well.

• Psychic Flow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Psychic Flow [Learn]
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set level of Psychic Flow [Ability] for (Triggering unit) to ((Level of Psychic Flow [Ability] for (Triggering unit)) + 1)

This doesn't seem to work, i guess it's the "a unit learns a skill" event that fails.
How do i make a trigger that applies when the hero level up a certain skill?
(Long time since i was in the WE, seem to have lost some knowledge)

• Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
  • Actions

You mean this?

 

[Hemske]

No, when the hero gains a level on a specified skill/ability.

 

[Kala]

• Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Skill [Learn]
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • AbilityLvl[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Less than 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Skill [Ability] to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of Skill [Ability] for (Triggering unit) to ((Level of Skill [Ability] for (Triggering unit)) + 1)
        • Set AbilityLvl[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (AbilityLvl[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)

How about this then?

 

[Hemske]

That is basically the same as i've done, except that you have added some random variable :/. And i still think it's the event or the condition that is causing it not to work, not the actions. But thanks for trying.

 

[Kala]

That your way should work

And why should you level abilities with triggers?

 

[Hemske]

And why should you level abilities with triggers?

It's a dummy ability, so when i learn the [Learn] version, the other ability (that can't be seen) should be upgraded as well. I need the trigger to apply when i level the [Learn] ability and not when i learn i. (or if that is the same, i need to know what's wrong with my trigger). Beacuse now, it doesn't work.

Is Psychic Flow [Ability] already on your unit? Because if it's not, then Kala's way should work, since you can't set the level of an ability that doesn't exist on that unit. Kala's trigger doesn't actually need that variable though since it makes the trigger MPI.

A version of Kala's trigger without any variable.

• Psychic Flow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Psychic Flow [Learn]
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Psychic Flow [Learn] for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Psychic Flow [Ability] to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of Psychic Flow [Ability] for (Triggering unit) to ((Level of Animate Dead for (Triggering unit)) + 1)

      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of Psychic Flow [Ability] for (Triggering unit) to ((Level of Animate Dead for (Triggering unit)) + 1)

This is how the whole trigger looks:

• Psychic Flow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Psychic Flow [Learn]
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Psychic Flow [Learn] for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of Psychic Flow [Ability] for (Triggering unit) to ((Level of Psychic Flow [Ability] for (Triggering unit)) + 1)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Add Psychic Flow [Ability] to (Triggering unit)

Same as yours in another way, so this should work you say?. Hmm.

• (Level of Psychic Flow [Learn] for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 1

This is the problem with your trigger. It will never add the ability to the unit since when you learn a skill for the first time, the level of that ability will be 1. The solution is to use my condition or replace Psychic Flow [Learn] with Psychic Flow [Ability].

Actually it works, it adds the ability when i learn it for the first time, it's when i upgrade it that it doesn't work. Or am i'm getting you wrong now? :/

 

[watermelon_1234]

That doesn't seem right... >_<
Can you check to see if my condition works for you?

 

[Hemske]

Sure i'll try it. I am going out for some while now though, but i'll try it later and pm/vm you the result.

 

[Kala]

Hey, is the [learn] and [ability] abilities on same unit?

 

[Hemske]

Edit: Nevermind. Problem solved. Thanks alot watermelon.
And kala as well. Yes they are.
