This should do it for your first question

• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
• Custom script: call SetPlayerTechMaxAllowed( GetOwningPlayer(GetLearningUnit()), 'hfoo', 1 )

There is nothing in GUI for it though (but you can do it if you have WEU, in GUI). 'hfoo' is the raw ability code, for example 'hfoo' is for footman, if you want to find the raw code for your unit go to the object editor -> units and press Control and D at the same time, then go to the unit and it will display it's raw code.



For your 2nd question, this should do it.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
• Conditions
  • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to <<<your skill here>>>
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Level of <<<your skill here>>> for (Learning Hero)) Equal to (Integer A)
        • Then - Actions
          • Custom script: call SetPlayerTechMaxAllowed( GetOwningPlayer(GetLearningUnit()), 'hfoo', GetForLoopIndexA() )
        • Else - Actions

That should do it.

ooooh thank u soooooooooo SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOL!
edit:uh >_>... sry wats GUI? and WEU? lol

 

[Ivanneth]

GUI is Graphical User Interface, or Graphic User Interface; plain Blizzy triggers, which Taur posted. WEU is World Editor Unlimited, an enhanced World Editor, which is a lot better - for terraining, triggering and in total.

 

[nivek535]

ahhh ic. thx lol

 

[nivek535]

didnt work T_T

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Taur
i made a new trigger.
did exactly wat the first trigger looked like... but it still didnt work ... i can still summon 1 + bears lol >_>...

 

[Razorbrain]

why not just use

• Events
  • Unit - A unit summons a unit(dont remember the name)
• Conditions
  • (Unit type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to Bear
• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every (Units owned by (Owner of (Summoning unit)) matching (((Matching unit) Not equal to (Summoned unit)) and ((Unit type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Bear))
    • Loop
      • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

?

 

[nivek535]

nono, i mean uh...
i did
Events
Conditions
Actions
Custom script: call SetPlayerTechMaxAllowed( GetOwningPlayer(GetLearningUnit()), 'hfoo', 1
but it still didnt work D:
EDIT EDIT!: oh sry i misread ur reply! lol. ill try that ^^

 

[nivek535]

Unit Group - Pick every (Units owned by (Owner of (Summoning unit)) matching (((Matching unit) Not equal to (Summoned unit)) and ((Unit type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Bear))
dang it how do u do that part? lol

 

[Razorbrain]

just go to Unit Group section, and choose action "Pick every unit in Unit Group and do (Actions).

it seems i forgot some words

if you need further help, just post

 

[nivek535]

thx ^^.
but i got another question again D:..... ( this thing is so complex LOL )
this is wat i got so far.
Pick every unit in (Units owned by(Owner of (Summoning unit)) and do action.
wat do i do for the "action" part D:? lol

 

[Razorbrain]

the Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Summoning unit)) and do (Actions) will pick every unit owned by your caster instead of all Bears, so fix the Unit Group Type to "Units owned by Player matching conditions"

in the "action" part, you just place the old "Unit - Kill (Picked unit)" and you will be good to go

remember, the matching conditions are supposed to be these ones:
(Matching unit) Not equal to (Summoned unit)
and
(Unit type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Bear

happy mapping. If you need help, just post again

 

[nivek535]

thx again .
except i got another problem. LOL. i got everything until.... Unit type of matching unit equal to "THIS DMAN PART!" wut do i select there D:? i cant find something that allows me to select the bear>_> ... lol

 

[Razorbrain]

can you see any icons of any units?

 

[nivek535]

nop D:

 

[Razorbrain]

what Condition type have you selected?

 

[nivek535]

matching unit >_>..

 

[Razorbrain]

i meant, like, Boolean, or Unit Comparsion, or Unit Type Comparsion. Which one do you use?

if you are using Unit Type, and not seeing any Icons, you should post a screenshot.

 

[nivek535]

OMFG IHAVE NO IDEA?%!%*(!&$!^!!!!!!!!!!
can u make it for me T________T LOL

 

[Just_Spectating]

why not base the ability off summon bear?

 

[Razorbrain]

i can make it for you, but not right now. I must go to sleep.

ill fix it tomorrow as soon as possible

EDIT : Well, that depends, is there a Changable limit with Summon Bear?

 

[nivek535]

thank u sooo much T___T... i guess ill just learn from that file ur gnna make ^____^ lolz xD.
and i dun really wanna make the bear time limited>_>....
even if its like 5 days LOL

 

[Just_Spectating]

if u base the ability off summon bear, give it no duriation, then u can only have one bear and will last forever, for the skill raze, when the hero has the ability, make a trigger that says if they learn "This ability"(to raise summon lvl) then raise level on Summon Ability

 

[Razorbrain]

Just_Spectating, he means, he wants to have 1 Bear limit in Level 1, 2 Bear limit in Level 2, and so on, so if the Limit on the Summon Bear skill is not changable, then we must go with triggers

 

[Just_Spectating]

its changeable.. lvl 2 Summoned unit count : 2

 

[Razorbrain]

oh, goodie. I dont really have Wc3 at this comp, so i could'nt have know or checked

 

[nivek535]

NOOOOOOOOOOO
i mean
ok lets say my hero is uh.
Peon Lord
1st skill is: summon bear.
lvl1 baby bear etc
2 fat bitch bear etc..
2nd and last skill is: increase max units allowed to summon.
+1 summoned units in total
+2 ......
+3.................
lol

 

[Just_Spectating]

Lvl 1 : summoned unit type : Baby Bear
Lvl 2 : summoned unit type : fat bitch bear

and so, if u have like lvl one summon bear, and u have like lvl 5 increase summon, then u'll summon 5 baby bear's right? i can do that.. im just a lil lazy right now ill post it later.

 

[PurplePoot]

Engineering Upgrade is your friend.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Hmm. So you know, Summoned Unit Count is how many units it summons at a time. The only ability I can think of that limits the maximum number of summons is Carrion Beetles, but that requires corpses.

 

[nivek535]

ahh thx for all teh help.
yo just spectate, actually if u havnt started, just the events, conditions, and actions will do^^.
(i need to practice, hehehe. lookin at samples = my last resort^_^) thx rofl

 

[Just_Spectating]

ok, so lvl 1 is 1 baby bear
lvl 2 is 1 fat bitch bear

for Maximum bears
lvl 1 then 2 bears
lvl 2 then 3 bears, but do you want them to summon all at once or just like thats the most u can ever have?

 

[Eleandor]

(edit) Never mind the following, apparently I misunderstood the problem. Like other people said, Engineering upgrade is the way to go.

In case things are still not clear for you: For this kind of abilities, there's no need for triggering.

If you create a new ability based on almost any summon ability (summon water elementals, summon hawk, etc. For this example I take "summon Bear"), you'll notice 3 data variables in the object editor:
Data - Summoned Unit Type
Data - Summoned Unit Count
Data - Duration

Data - Summoned Unit Type defines the UNIT TYPE. For example: a water elemental, a bear or a hawk.
Data - Summoned Unit Count defines the AMOUNT of units summoned. If this is set to 2, 2 unit types (defined previously) will be summoned.
Data - Duration defines the duration of the summon. If you want it to be permanent, set it to 0 (ZERO).

If you have multiple levels in your ability, you'll be able to set any of these values differently for each level. For example

Data - Summoned Unit Type - Level 1 = Bear
Data - Summoned Unit Type - Level 2 = Hawk
Data - Summoned Unit Count - Level 1 = 1
Data - Summoned Unit Count - Level 2 = 2
Data - Duration - Level 1 = 60
Data - Duration - Level 2 = 0

If you cast this ability when you're only level 1, a bear will be summoned for 1 minute. If you cast this ability when you're level 2, 2 hawks will be permanently summoned.

Note that there's a "Duration - Hero" and a "Duration - Unit" value. In case of summon abilities, both should be set to 0 in your case.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Eleandor, he wants the summon to only be one unit unless the hero has this other ability that raises the amount of units that can be summoned, so that the summon bear every level will be 1 bear but if the hero has like lvl 5 Bear increase ability, then hero can summon like 5 (level of summon bear level)bears.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

He wants to manipulate the maximum amount of summonable units. He wants to summon one at a time, but with each level increase increase the maximum amount of units that you can have. The only ability like that is Carrion Beetles, which requires something to raise. He can use Engineering Upgrade (Like PurplePoot said) to simulate an ability being "upgraded" by actually replacing that ability with another, but the only ability that you can control the limit of maximum amount of summons is with Carrion Beetles.

 

[PurplePoot]

Or with a very simple trigger.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yes i am doing that trigger right now

ok instead of posting the triggers, ill just give u the map, and you can put it in your map changing some fields to match yours

 

[nivek535]

lol thanks for alllllll the help from eeeeeeeeeveryo neeeeeeeee lol.
thx guys ^^ XD

 

[Just_Spectating]

no problem
