Permanent Immolation not scaling with level?

[Turilli]

I've used the search button to no avail. I've tried to create a hero ability based off permanent immolation, but no matter what level it is, it only does the damage for level 1.

Like if I set the damage to:
Level 1: 10
Level 2: 20
Level 3: 30

it only does 10 damage at level 30.

Any suggestions?

Yes, this is something I used in a spell request and it seems that it doesn't properly work. I haven't tested it yet (because the request was done yesterday), but you can try adding the ability in a spellbook and disable the spellbook.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Disable Immolation Spellbook for Player(IntegerA)

I must be missing something, adding the spell to a spellbook is going to fix the damage scaling?

Yes, sometimes, passive abilities that have levels and do not belong to a hero do not level up properly, example, Gloves of Haste. Unless that ability is stored within a Spell book, it will not level up.

Interesting. Now I don't have much experience with using spellbooks outside of their basic use. So I just wanna make sure I get it right. I just create a spellbook for the spell and disable it. Then give the normal hero ability to the hero? Or give them both?

No, you give him the spellbook ability only.
You will create the spell book, set Data - Minimum Spells to 1 and Data - Maximum Spells to 1, Data - Shared Cooldown = False, go to your Hero, go to Abilities - Normal, Item abilities - Custom, and add the Spell book ability. Add the trigger too and you're done.

Alright, thanks for your help bud. Hopefully this works.
