make trigger spell "level up"

[corley]

how do i go about making a triggered spell "level up" what triggers are required to do this to set the next level?
Many thanks

Simply you set the ability of the skill of the hero to its current level +1.

If you mean how do you get an integer which is spell level, there is a native which does so and returns the value as an integer type.

sorry im new to trigger spells and im confused, the trigger works EG when condition ability being cast = warstomp, so if i want multiple level of the ability, i need to create dummy warstomps. By doing this how do i get the highest level of the ability on to ther hero bar to be able to cast? otherwise i cannot see how i can have more than 1 level for this trigger spell. ALso thanks for the very quick response

Edit: I have been looking into the triggers, so would i use the IF/THEN statement.
EG: IF warstomp = level 1 create level 1 warstomp dummy??

You get the level of the ability using the native that returns an integer.

If you want to deal real (type) damage, you need to conver an integer to a real so that the action piece is choosable in GUI.

In JASS just use the native, store it to a local integer and then use the local when ever you want. Note that you have to pass the native a unit and ability inoder for it to work.

ok so i looked at some other triggered spells, and i got one of my spells working, with the following, but on this particlar spell the damge isnt going up with each level

Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing (100.00 x (Real((Level of Storm Bolt111 for (Casting unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Cold

then try

if level of ability for casting unit = 1 then

dmg 100

else if

lvl = 2

dmg 200

This is the problem, i understand the IF ability being cast = level 1 ability, but how do i get level 1/2/3 on the hero for the player to use.
How do i get ability level 2, when learnt to replace level 1 ability etc.

You are making no sense.

All abiltieis stay the same for all levels. Certain affects of an ability increase or decrease or change depending on the level of the abilitiy. You do not need to destroy the ability and remake it for each level.

You know, telling us what ability you are trying to make may be useful, as then we know what you are after slightly better.

sorry i should have mentioned that earlier im trying to do a "charge" attack stunning the attacked enemy. I have the charge, and the stun working but cannot get the ability to cause any damage. So i am trying o use theis trigger for the damage per level, but it isnt working.
Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (100.00 x (Real((Level of Charge (Triggers) for (Casting unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Cold

Also i take it you cannot apply damage usuing the ability directly?
Thanks again

That works. If it does not work, your event for the trigger must be faulty or the spell is a non target spell.
