Stuck at lvl 5!

[Eldubs]

Hello.

I have been starting my little map called The Line Of Heroes. Its a simple map but i got this problem! My heroes dont lvl past 5! Can anybody advice what can cause this?

Heroees can only kill creeps up to level 5, after that they have to kill other player's units.

Hmmm... Dude if your creeps are neutral hostiles, you'll be stuck on level 5 unless you customize some settings on your map. Try going to Tabs>Advanced>Gameplay Constants

Then at your Gameplay Constants find...Hero XP Gained - Creep Reduction Table.
there will be numbers. 80,70,60,50,0. The only problem is the number 0. That's why your heroes can level up when they are on level 5 because of the number 0. Try to change the whole number to 100. I guess that solve that problem. Another thing. I think you are a beginner so find in the Gameplay Constants the Hero Maximum Level. change it to whatever you like.

If you dont want to apply game constants, then make a trigger...

Events
A unit dies
Condition
Owner of killing unit equals to "YOUR HERO/UNIT"
Actions
Hero - Add Experience to killing unit Random numbers between (YOUR DESIRED NUMBER)

If hero kill neutral hostile unit he won't get experience (Above level 5)!

Solutions:

- Very Easy:
Change player owner (any other except neutral ones)

- Easy but a little bothering:
Change values show on picture

- A little hard:
Create Experience triggers
(Why hard? Well we don't know how your map look, what systems you use, is it GUI or script etc etc)
Here basic trigger action that will be needed in any trigger

• Hero - Add 1000 experience to (Triggering unit), Show level-up graphics

- Again a little hard:
Create Items (Tome of Experience) that will be dropped when unit dies

(Why hard? Well we again don't know how many units you placed on the ground, did you use any spawn system, how many level you created, you will need large number of items and triggers again if you use spawn or any other summon systems etc etc)

------------------------------------
My suggestion, use 1st one ^^

Game Constants is MORE neat than triggers

Game Constants is MORE neat than triggers

and do not leak too.

 

[defskull]

Yes, it takes time to think about leaking and stuffs
Conclusion: Use Advanced Gameplay Constants

 

[Sinizi]

I would go with the Advance > Gameplay Constants aswell, but before you even make the thread try using the search engine. This question have been made half a million times before

Additional Info:

If you're using TRIGGERS, it's hard to give a different amount of EXP to the Hero based on WHAT type of creep that has been killed
Example: A gnoll creep will give 50 EXP per kill, but an ogre creep will give 100 EXP per kill, this can give problems as you must SET the EXP value PER creep, making your trigger longer

 

[mckill2009]

if you're using trigger based level system, you can create a formula, sample like this...

• Hero - Add (HIT POINTS OF KILLED UNIT) / 2 experience to (killing unit), show level-up graphics

Example: if your unit has 500Hp you can have 250xp, if 400hp then 200xp...take note that this is just a formula, you can make ANy formula you want...

 

[millzy]

there is no reason to trigger this

 

[defskull]

Although, as sugested by mckill, it IS kinda nice to make a formula-based EXP System as it will increase the game's playability

 

[mckill2009]

there is no reason to trigger this

yes there's no reason but "IF" he wants to make trigger based system , then it his option...

Hello.

I have been starting my little map called The Line Of Heroes. Its a simple map but i got this problem! My heroes dont lvl past 5! Can anybody advice what can cause this?

he said his heros cant get past lvl 5 not how to make a system to get past lvl 5 and Advance>Gameplay Constants> hero xp - creep reduction table -(remove it all and just add 100) will solve his problem
