Need Hero Ability Help

[Raj91]

What ability do you use to give your hero a +1 Str ability? You know, you get a level up and have the choice of +1 Str, Agi, or Int instead of abilities.

Like in Gaias Retaliation, You get a level up and you get to choose between the stat upgrades instead of powers.

And how do you make it so once you learn it, it doesn't show in your heroes controll box.

Thank you for helping.

you can use normal hero stats upgrade but set
show button = false

or

you can make dummy skill and when it is learned than unlearn it and add + 1 str/agi/int to hero
it can be done with triggers
there is a hero action to modify stats

Edit:

Basics of Triggering

you can go to tutorial section too

you need to learn about:

Variables !
Array Variables !
Hash tables are also very good (they are 2d Arrays)
and so called Fake Multi-Array variables would be good too (1-12,13-24,25-36....)
to use from 1 to 12
1 x 12 - 11 <-----> 1 x 12
to use from 13 to 24
2 x 12 - 11 <-----> 2 x 12
to use from 25 to 36
3 x 12 - 11 <-----> 3 x 12
-for example if you need save that TriggeringPlayer likes SomePlayer xD
make Boolean Array Variable - Like[X]
set Like[((Number of Triggering Player x 12) - 11) + (Player Number of (SomePlayer))] = True


Use Pick Every Player/Unit/Item... and do actions
loop - do something about Picked Player/Unit/Item...

IF/THAN/ELSE actions are really needed
they are very good and with it you can make all triggers with same event in one trigger

For each integer A from X to X
loop - your actions

For each integer B from X to X
loop - your actions
(integer B actions are used if you need to put it in loop of integer A actions)

sub strings X,X are good for command triggers (and array-string variables are good for it too,if you want player color detect or something like that)
(you should also have all command triggers in one trigger,and only event player types "-" as a sub string
than you check what is the rest of it (for example)
sub string(entered cheat string) 2,6 Equal to "kick " (6 because of space)

Removing Memory Leaks (i think you don't really need to remove player group leaks,i never did and nothing happens,maybe after 1.000.000 times -.-)

it is good to know for Events - Unit issued targeting an object/point/no target

but to stop TriggeringUnit on that events you need to do this:
(i think it is best combination for it)

-turn off this trigger
-pause TriggeringUnit
-unpause TriggeringUnit
-order TriggeringUnit to stop
-turn on this trigger


and some more

Check the abilities, there are spells there for items called "Item Hero Stat Bonus (+ 1 Strength)" for example. Just make change its name to what you want and tick the Stats - Hero Ability and uncheck the item ability. Or do this:

Create a dummy ability
then,

• Events
  • A unit learns a skill
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Strength Bonus
• Actions
  • Set Location = (Position of(Learning Hero))
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Location using animation
  • Hero - Modify Strength of Hero: Add 1

And how do you make it so once you learn it, it doesn't show in your heroes controll box.

What do you mean by that?

 

[ALiEN95]

the first icons you see when you select a unit,those abilities with that icons are in control box

so the event "unit begins casting an ability is bad"

you need event "hero learns a skill"
so if for example agility skill is learned than unlearn in but add +1 agility to triggering unit
