Passive stat increases

[Jervis]

I'm trying to figure out how to make a passive hero ability that increases the hero's maximum health or mana (not strength or intelligence)

Like at level 1 it increases base mana by 100, at level 2 its 200, ect, ect

I know absolutely nothing about jass or anything like that, just triggers.

My first idea was to modify the Pendant of Mana ability, but that didnt work

+rep or whatever if you help me

create a custom upgrade which increases mana and then make your unit use that upgrade in the object editor then every time you learn the skill, increase the level of upgrade via triggers...

Did you remembered to uncheck the field: Item Ability?

it would still work even if its an item ability... it will just won't show on the UI... that property is used by equipment systems...

You cant add an item ability to an unit in the object editor. I have not tried it through triggers

Ok i modified the item ability more and now it works, but the icon doesnt show after you learn it.

You have to use a dummy ability. Don't use your mana bonus ability for it the ability you actually add to your hero.

Create Devotion Aura, give it like 3 levels, but tick off the armor bonus given.

Now, you create a trigger that looks like this.

Event - A unit learns an ability
Condition - Ability == Devotion Aura
Action -
if Get Level of Ability for Unit (Pendant of Mana Dummy) == 0 then
UnitAddAbility( Pendant of Mana Dummy )
elseif Get Level of Ability for Unit (Pendant of Mana Dummy) == 1 then
Set The ABility Level of Pendant of Mana Dummy to Get Level of Ability for Unit (Pendant of Mana Dummy) + 1
