Set unit level with triggers

[Strydhaizer]

Hello guys, how do you change the unit level with triggers? Or is there a JASS code that can do this?

• I cannot use Custom Value because indexer already uses it, and I already used Point Value to store the range of the unit (since triggers can't get the range of the unit).
• Unit level, not hero level.

Never tried myself, but if you use Warcraft III version 1.31 (latest), "Unit - Set Unit Integer Field" and choose "ulev"

Just adding this as a note. A unit indexer allows you to store information like this.

You could create an Integer variable with an Array named UnitLevel. Then set it upon creating the unit:

• Set Level
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set CustomValue = (Custom value of TempUnit)
    • Set UnitLevel[CustomValue] = (Level of TempUnit)

• Increase Level
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Level Up
  • Actions
    • Set TempUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set CustomValue = (Custom value of TempUnit)
    • Set UnitLevel[CustomValue] = (UnitLevel[CustomValue] + 1)

Obviously you would have to trigger everything around this variable. For example, an ability like Charm that can only target a certain level of units would have to be triggered.

just tried - works perfectly, you can also track current level with BlzGetUnitIntegerField with a param UNIT_IF_LEVEL

native BlzGetUnitIntegerField                      takes unit whichUnit, unitintegerfield whichField returns integer
