Original spell system needed

[Hemske]

Hi guys!

I need a spell learning system for my map "Footman Fighting" Its 3 players in each team, fighting in rounds.
Every player has their own Hero: A Footman. And i want an original spell learning system for this map (as the most other things in the map is pretty original (as far as i know)). I need the special learning system also beacuse as every player has the same hero, so it would be really boring if everone had the same spells
I were maybe thinking of learning spells through buying items, but as you buy shields for lumber and Weapons for gold, i have nothing that you can buy the skills with, so i "killed" that idea. I havent got so much space either, pretty small "bases" for the teams, so i cant have like 3-4 "spell learning shops/buildings/blabla. If anyone has a great idea about this, please help. (Dont know if i can request such things at this, but ill guess its able?)

I tried using an item learning, but it didnt went well -.-. And also, if i want something original, maybe not a system that exist as a tutorial is the best... No offense though, thx anyways.

How about you start with a few basic abilities say slash, defend, speed cutter etc.
Then you infuse your skills with elements and a combination of several elements result in a powerful spell.
Say you have slash, defend and speed cutter. You buy a lightning, wind, water elements. You will get something like Slash of Storms or something.

Like everyone has the same ability, but it changes by wich elements you get? hmm.. sounds cool.

 

[Zack1996]

Yeah, it would be cool but time consuming. Other than abilities changing, you might also want to make it such that a certain combo will result in a powerful special spell, like wind, water, ice, lightning makes something like "Heaven's Fury".
Some element suggestions:
Air
Darkness
Earth
Fire
Ice
Lightning
Light
Nature
Water

its not actuaslly that complicated, specially if you drew it out like a spell evolution tree and just made a trigger for each item on the tree :]

A bit time consuming copying and pasting but would work quite well I think.

• Events:
• Unit finishes casting an ability
• Conditions:
• Unit has ability (tree Item) = true
• Ability Being cast = (branch item)
• Actions:
• Unit remove ability (branch root)
• Unit add ability (tree item)
