Leveling up unit abilities?

[DemonDestroyer]

So i have a unit with an ability, its Level 1, and a building has an upgrade to level it up... i tried to make it happen, but it just doesnt work....

'Ability Level Bonus as an upgrade effect doesnt work, how can i make this thing work? i'd prefer to stay away from triggers on this one because of the number of abilities and upgrades i will make... is there a way to do this without triggers?

I don't think it's possible without triggers.

With triggers it'll be like:

• Trigger:
  • Events
    • A unit begins an upgrade
  • Conditions
    • Upgrade equal to Upgrade 1
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set level of ability for Your_Hero to 2

Not exactly like that, since I don't have the editor right now, I can't make it exactly, but it should be something like that.

Try to duplicate the "mage skeletons" upgrade as exactly as possible. By the way, this might not work on hero abilities, solely on unit abilitieS.

Well, I changed their class to unit abilities... but i tried a unit ability as well and didnt work

There's always the option to create two different abilities and switch them out with a trigger.

It's still triggers then, so that'll be easier with just leveling up the ability with triggers.

Uhhh

Well, I suppose the way to do it would be with a simple trigger that uses a unit group, shouldn't be too lag intensive, because it's only a single instance

But yeah, just make a unit group and set all of their abilites to + 1

Other than that, I have no idea how

 

[DemonDestroyer]

Alright. thanks a lot people! I will just use triggers... *sigh* millions and millions of em... lol

 

[Herman]

Woah woah woah

You only need one for this

Just use a unit group
I don't feel like doing the code here, but it is very simple, as long as you know how to use unit groups properly

Exactly what I was about to say. Just duplicate your ability then edit the values to be improved.

*freehand*

• YourTriggerToReplaceTheAbilitiesWhenAnUpgradeIsResearchedMakeSureThatYouMakeTwoAbilities
  • Events
    • <Upgrade> is researched
  • Conditions
    • <Conditions>
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove <Ability 1>
    • Unit - Add <Ability 2>

Something like that.

Wait a second

I thought the problem wasn't the triggering, just the fact that he would need to change the abilities for every single unit on the map

You can always just literally inrease the level of the ability, rather than giving it a new one (new function for TFT WE)

It's used very much in King Leopold's map for the lllllllllllllllllllllllll kill points

(I was so happy when I figured that out xD)

Its because there are several different units, with several different abilities

 

[Herman]

Ok

How many units of each type, how many upgrades, and how many abilities

And I mean exactly how many

 

[DemonDestroyer]

12 units, each one having a unique ability, all responding to a single global upgrade

 

[Herman]

ohhh

Just one trigger, increase the level of each ability for each unit, that's it

 

[DemonDestroyer]

Okay, thanks
