Stat-Boosting Spells and other Questions

[Tzalksar]

So I know that someone has already done a tutorial on it, but I just can't find it. How am I supposed make a hero's abilties boosted by str/agi/int possibly even boosted by HP and MP.

Also, ghost effects for units. How do I get other units to look like the ghostly Keeper of the Grove?

Arithmetic operators. So if you want a spell to deal 100 damage plus 2 times the strength of the Hero:

• Set Damage = (100.00 + (2.00 x (Real((Strength of YourHero (Include bonuses))))))

Hero stats are integers, so you have to convert it to a real to work in the arithmetic operators since the Unit - Damage Target function takes a real argument for the actual damage. The "Include bonuses" part can also exclude bonuses.

You are going to have to edit the model directly.

You can make a unit appear transparent by changing its vertex coloring with triggers. The first 3 are red, green, blue so keep them at 100% but the last one is transparency. The lower the number the more transparent the unit looks. It won't have the whitish look, but it'll be ghostly.
