making melee ai learn spells with a customized max level

[Tburn1910]

i don't know why but i love customizing the standard melee heroes' spells like the damage and all, including their max level.

here's the thing tho, so like let's say i adjusted the max level for Priestess of the Moon's Trueshot Aura to a level 5 (since the standard max level for Trueshot Aura is level 3), and when I played the game, the AI that has recruited Priestess of the Moon can only level up their Trueshot Aura up to level 3, the standard. This is somehow a bummer and makes the gameplay a bit boring. And yes in the World Editor, I did increased the heroes' max level.

Does anyone happen to know what the triggers would look like for this case? (events, conditions and actions).

• Ai Hero level
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
    • (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Greater than 10
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Priestess of the Moon
  • Actions
    • Hero - Learn skill for (Triggering unit): Trueshot Aura
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Trueshot Aura for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 5
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Learn skill for (Triggering unit): Searing Arrows
      • Else - Actions

Something like this should do it. Hope this gets you started. By a quick look there are a few ai hero tutorials and at least few similiar threads already in this site.

Melee AI is not programmed to deal with anything outside of standard melee gameplay. You will need to modify the AI files so that they can deal with your custom abilities.

  Unit - A unit Gains a level

shouldn't there be the "Map Initialization" event here? or was that not needed in this case?

The trigger makes no sense in context with such an event. What would (Triggering unit) be? (it will return null)
