Spell book (hidden passive abilities)

[Erkowich]

So, i want to make a spell that gives a unit increased attack speed and dodge chance, but since there is no such spell i believe i tried to make it with a spell book. Right now i have a dummy spell, that when you level gives the unit the spell book and sets those spells inside the spell book to a certain level.

But it wont work, and after reading a few threads i still haven't understood how to make it work.

You should initially disable the spell book and then not enable it.

You can run this at map initialization. The spell book will be hidden for P1-P12.

• For each (Integer loopA) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Disable some spell book for (Player(loopA))

When the unuit learns ability level 1, you can give it the spell book. The spells inside the spell book will be at level 1.

In your trigger you should set the level of the abilities inside the spell book to the level of learned ability:

• Unit - Set level of *ability in spell book* for (Triggering unit) to (Learned skill level)

The common era brings about common mistakes...

You can't use learn skill for hero action on a skill that the hero does not originally have (cannot be learned manually). This also applies to the action set level of ability.

Give the hero the ability first and then use the learn action.

This should solve your problem =)

tried both of your ides, neither seems to be working.

Can you post the map?

 

[Mac_MacNuggets]

There doesn't seem to be anything else that's broken. Please post the map as his problem might be linked to another trigger on the map.

I will post the map today or tomorrow, been a little busy. Also, if any of you are good at triggers overall, i would be glad if you looked at all my triggers in the map, since i dunno what leaks or if they can be improved.
