[Solved] Make a hero learn all the same skills as another hero once it spawns

[KingsNJenssons]

Hai I'm wanting a AI hero to spawn but have all the same skills as the player hero and it seems hero - learn skill is very limited where you have to set the skill or last learnt skill I'm guessing I'll have to do it a custom script way?

Hellå. You can store data in variables such as which skills the player hero learns and use that data when applying skills to the AI hero

I'm still new to the editor would you be able to show an example?

Hmm. It seems youre right about the need for custom scripts, which is odd since Learn skill uses Ability Code but no variables are available in the selection. Typical GUI.

Heres an example:

• Player Hero Learn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to PlayerHero
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet LearnIndex = (LearnIndex + 1)
    • Custom script: set udg_LearnSkill[udg_LearnIndex] = GetLearnedSkillBJ()
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of LearnSkill[LearnIndex])

• AI Hero Spawn
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer L) from 1 to LearnIndex, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: call SelectHeroSkill(udg_AI_Hero, udg_LearnSkill[udg_L])
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of LearnSkill[L])

Yooooo I think I can totally figure it out now, thank you!

I forgot to ask how about the level of the skills is there a way to apply that?

The example trigger records all skills picked and repeats them for the ai hero. That includes how many times the abilities were picked. Do you need to store the levels of the abilities for another reason?

These triggers does it a bit differently to store each learned skill in a single array. It also stores the level in SkillLevel with the same array.

• Player Hero Learn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to PlayerHero
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer Loop[0]) from 1 to LearnIndex, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: if udg_LearnSkill[udg_Loop[0]] == GetLearnedSkillBJ() then
        • Set VariableSet SkillLevel[Loop[0]] = (SkillLevel[Loop[0]] + 1)
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of LearnSkill[Loop[0]])
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(SkillLevel[Loop[0]]))
        • Skip remaining actions
        • Custom script: endif
    • Set VariableSet LearnIndex = (LearnIndex + 1)
    • Set VariableSet SkillLevel[LearnIndex] = (SkillLevel[LearnIndex] + 1)
    • Custom script: set udg_LearnSkill[udg_LearnIndex] = GetLearnedSkillBJ()
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of LearnSkill[LearnIndex])
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(SkillLevel[LearnIndex]))

• AI Hero Spawn
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer Loop[0]) from 1 to LearnIndex, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of LearnSkill[Loop[0]])
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(SkillLevel[Loop[0]]))
        • For each (Integer Loop[1]) from 1 to SkillLevel[Loop[0]], do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Custom script: call SelectHeroSkill(udg_AI_Hero, udg_LearnSkill[udg_Loop[0]])

You can duplicate heroes with Game Caches. Save the unit in a GC and then place the unit from the gamecache into the game for the correct owning player. That will exactly duplicate the hero down to items. It will not match current health/mana values, so you must do that yourself. Example:

• Escape
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Set up GC in init trigger --------
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units currently selected by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game Cache - Store (Picked unit) as 0 of 0 in GC
        • Game Cache - Restore 0 of 0 from GC for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 0.00
        • Game Cache - Clear GC
        • -------- set mana/life/cooldowns here --------
