Leveling up and ability via triggers?

[Marshmalo]

Hi, I'm trying to create a trigger that levels up a non-hero ability but can't seem to find a "Level Ability" action, I would have thought blizzard would have included one?

Event and condition functions are fine I just need a "level non-hero ability" action, if it exists?

im not sure about this BUT doesnt non hero abilitys only got one level?
Expect if it is a qustom spell.
lets say the index is the level of a ability

• Prepare
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Ability_DMG[1] = 100
    • Set Ability_DMG[2] = 200
    • Set Ability_DMG[3] = 300

and to do the dmg we have setup, you dont need the variable arrays but its easy to setup

• Ability Damage
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - (Real(Ability_DMG[YOUR_ability_level_here])))

• Unit - Set level of abilityZ for unit1 to X
• Unit - Increase level of abilityZ for unit1

For adding/removing ability there are functions too.

Like Spinnaker said, the functions for increasing/setting the level of an ability are the same for hero and non-hero abilities.

That being said; yes, non-hero abilities can have more than one effective level, just like hero abilities.

EDIT:
Congrats on 1337 posts Spinnaker.

Darkgrom unit abilitys can have multiple levels (take the raise Dead spell for example), your trigger wasnt what I'm looking for but thanks for having a go anyway.

Spinnaker, thats close to what I need but not quite, "Increase level of ability" only effects specific units, I need this increase in level to effect all future instances of this unit. The ability I want increasing is carried by units that are summoned by this ability you see.

EDIT: o0 Congrats Spinnaker lol

In that case you have a couple choices.

First, you could modify the summoning skill to summon another level of the summoned unit, which will contain a different level of its skill. Doing this, however needs a separate skill and unit for each level of the summoning skill.

The other option is to detect whenever a unit is casting this summoning skill, when the skill is done being cast, detect the summoned units, and modify their abilities as you see fit.

In my opinion option 2 is best.

Thanks.
Whats wrong with 'Increase level of ability'?

Btw - just trigger summoning skill and add action:

• Unit - Create (...)
• Unit - Set level of abilityZ for (Last created unit) to X

Remember about events and conditions though :S
