Set Level of Unit

[Chizume]

Greetings,

Is there a way to set the level of a unit (non-hero) with a trigger? I can't find any GUI option. I hope I missed it but I believe not. Is there a JASS way or any way at all? I will not buy the idea of having 100 units with a set level from the start, it's way too ineffective in this case.

Yours Truly,
Chizume

i think none. the GUI option for the set level only affects hero anyway. if you want you can just make multiply copies of the same unit with different levels.

Thank you anyway.

Well there may be a simpler way without needing all them units, but first I need to know what you hoped to do by setting the level of non hero units before I can see if my suggestion would be of any use.

Nothing

I use custom value to detect the amount of kills each unit has. When the custom values reaches a specific amount I want it to gain a level, so it's simply a custom experience system for units. The level itself doesn't have any effect, it's only for appearance, but it's still just as important.

You could use an alternate method of showing the level, such as using the mana bar to represent level, or using a Floating Text that displays and attaches above a unit.

There is also a Promotion Chevron special effect (think Command and Conquer promotion system) on Hive that looks really nice for unit levelling.

I guess I will have to do it in another way than I thought. May I ask you where the "Promotion Chevron" effect is? I can't seem to find it here.

Thank you.

You could use an aura with target 'self' and set it to the level you want.
The level would be shown on the buff.
(Use "Slow-Aura (Tornado)" if you don't want the normal Icon to be visible.)

i was thinking maybe you could also make a hero act like a non-hero? you know, remove that upper-left icon, disable its experience gain and trigger it just like you said, make stats it gains 0, triggers skills targeted on it so it works like a non-hero target.

just a suggestion.

These are all nice alternatives.

Sharing is caring, thanks
