Permanent stat gain at a gold cost

[Marcell]

Hi all,

I've read around, and if I want an ability to cost gold I need to base it off of "Charge gold and lumber" that part is done.
Now I want that unit and that unit only to gain said stat. I've read that you add Art - Special ...permanent gain... from tomes, but now how do I add the value of the stat to gain? I want one ability to gain attack, one to gain defence and one to gain attack speed.

Any help please :S

You want this ability on a shop to purchase from there or you want the hero to have this "Gain Stat at Cost" ability?

Why not sell the hero tome items? Do remember to remove such items after they are used to prevent leaks.

My bad for not being clear enough. I want it to be an unit specific ability and not from a shop.

One would have to trigger the gold deduction per cast, since I do not know of any abilities that cost gold to be cast.

I mentioned it in the original post, it's called "charge gold and lumber" it has a tree icon with the pick

There is a tome ability to increase attack damage:"Item Permanent Damage Gain", add that to an item and whenever you need to increase attack damage just create that item and give it to the unit(and remove the item instantly to prevent leaks). the unit must have an inventory so if it doesn't have inventory give inventory ability(make sure its hero inventory) then give attack damage item/tome then remove the inventory ability.

As for armor/defence and attack speed it will be a little bit complicated as they don't have tome abilities, and will be limited, also Armor will be added as (green) bonus after the "+":-

Use "Item Armor Bonus" ability for armor and "Item Attack Speed Bonus" ability for attack speed, make each have lots of levels (depends on armor/attack speed increment per ability cast) then whenever you need to increase armor/attack speed just add ability and increase the ability level by 1. However this is inefficent due to it being limited by ability levels and more ability levels = increased map file size so i recommend using BonusMod system(also provides ability to increase/decrease other stats).

Edit: BonusMod requires JNGP. Also forgot to mention that if u use Item Bonus ability u properly should need to use the following custom script for both abilities when u add them:

• Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent('WhichUnit', true,'Abilityid')

This prevents the unit from losing the bonuses if it transforms to another unit.

So if that part works and tomes of damage work what is the problem?

Not sure how to combine the two. I change the values on charge gold and lumber to what I see in a video, but I don't see the "customize damage" or whatever option.

Can you perhaps upload your map here to make it easier to see exactly what you are doing?

Use a trigger that in response to casting the ability gives the casting unit a tome that raises its maximum damage. One could also use a bonus mod system to raise maximum damage.

If using tomes, remember to remove the item after use to prevent leaks.
