Max Level Ability

[Keegz]

Hi, i'm making a custom hero survival style game with an ability purchasing system like in hoihoi8s custom hero survival. And i'm wondering how to make a trigger so that if they purchase an ability that they already have maxed, then it will refund hem gold or lumber and not purchase the skill. The only way i can think of doing it at the moment is making a variable for EVERY player for EVERY ability.... but that seems a bit tedious and somehow i dont think thats how hoihoi8 did it.... I'm assuming he probably used a custom script... as i'm really no good at that i would appreciate any help that anyone can offer

Rep if you help me, and credits in my game if you could make a trigger for me that i can use. D

This looks like not that efficient and such but might serve a bit useful to you. You can try playing with it around and fixing some leaks and such: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...4430/?prev=search=Refund%20system&d=list&r=20

Does every spell have an other maximum? If all have the maximum of 3 for example, you simply can check it with an integer comparisson: If current level of <ability> for <unit> is smaller than 3.

I was planning on having different levels for different tier abilities. for example, teir 1 abilities might have a max of 10, and teir 2 abilities might have a max of 20, and so on

And that system does look a lot better than what iwas thinking, i could give it a go

Then you could make the check relative to the tier level.

Level of Ability < (10*TierLevel).

at start ; Set TierLevel = 1 ... each time after upgrade Set TierLevel = TierLevel + 1.

Do not double post, please. Just use the "Edit" button to modify your first post next time.

Can someone Help me with the custom trigger? I have changed a few things around for it to fit what i want, (as in variable names etc) however i don't think any of the changes should affect the custom script. Is it just a bad script or is there something i am doing wrong? It gives me the error, "Invalid type for specified operator".

Script

EDIT:
At the moment in my game i only have one ability (Just recently started it and am trying to get a lot of the trigger work done early), i am planning on adding more of course, at which time i will increase the "from 0 to 3"in the Loop. However i believe it might be the fact that it has 2 commands for when to exit (looping 0 to 3, and when it gets the right ability), that is making it not work.

Also i do realise i don't need the condition "((Hero manipulating item) is A Hero) Equal to True" i will probably take that out now.

And also the last part of the trigger when checking for the ability level, i have changed the "then" and "Else" functions around, as they need to be that way for my game

Actually, heres an updated Script

EDIT 2:
Nevermind! I figured out what was wrong! It wasn't anything to do with the custom script! that was fine, it was the fact that i had set one of my variables as an item, and not an item-type!

Anyway. Thank you very much to both of you, this has really help me out. I would have probably given up eventually if i continued doing what i was doing.... (you don't want to know what i was doing haha).
