Skipping Skill Points {one skill point every 2 levels... hero jumping 2 levels}

[Ja2Mike]

In the map Im working on, your hero gains a skill point only once every other level. I made the whole "if (Level of (Leveling Hero)) mod (2) = 0) then (Subtract 1 Skill Point)" trigger, but if you gain more than 1 level at a time (IE going from level 3 to level 5) you get the full amount of skill points, instead of the reduced amount.

Is there any way to remedy this?

what about just setting it so that they get .5 a skill point every level just
or make it they get the stats through learning a skill (attribute bonus) that they can get every 2 levels and just cut out the trigger entirely

I don't think you can gain .5 of a skill point and seems to me Mike is concerned about skill points, not the stats.

If you disallow skill points on level completely, so on every level -1 skillpoint THEN have a variable that raises by 1 every level, you can give a skill point to hero when that variable reaches 2, then reset the variable.

The problem is that the way the trigger works is that it treats gaining multiple levels at once as running the event "A hero gains a level" only once, so it would still gain all the skill points but only subtract 1, so if you gained 4 at once you'd still end up with 3 skill points instead of 2, possibly even 4 if the variable happened to be set to 2 on that level.

Are there any game constants that change skill point rate?

you could use custom values to record how many skill points have been used.

everytime the hero learns a skill, add 1 to its custom value.

when it gains a level, set skill points equal to ((level + 1)/2) - custom value)

Ah yes, success!

Thank you so much, this was bothering me tons.
