Levelling up Item Abilities?

[Teld]

Is this possible? I've triple checked my code and can only come to the conclusion that item abilities can't be levelled via trigs, even if they are converted to unit abils.

The ability in question is the Max HP bonus item. I'm trying to trigger scaling life totals.

Edit: hoooold up, apparently I can mod the handicap of the player to increase the hp of all units, now, this is obvs not a solution that can be used for everyone but it should suit my purposes just fine.

What you want it to ... let's say change a unit's max hp value ?

Is this possible?

Yes it is completely possible and works.

The ability in question is the Max HP bonus item.

Which is bugged. It levels up correctly but lacks an "on levelup" function internally so does not change the bonus when levelling up. However on ability remove it will still remove the correct amount of life for the ability level. The result is the item ability bug which allows you to freely modify unit health.

1. Ability level 1 -> 100 maximum life
2. Ability level 2 -> 0 maximum life
3. Give ability to unit (gain 100 maximum life).
4. Increment ability level (ability level 1 -> 2)
5. Remove ability from unit (lose 0 maximum life)
6. Unit now has +100 life permanently, as if given by tome of life.

With an ability based off from Item Life Bonus and this trigger you can also decrease a unit's max life. it can modify the life for greater or lower.
The ability must have 7 levels and all levels "Max Life Gained" data must be set as following:
Level 1 = 0
Level 2 = -1
Level 3 = -10
Level 4 = -100
Level 5 = 1
Level 6 = 10
Level 7 = 100
