Trigger Skill Points isn't working for all heross

[Spartipilo]

I started making some heros for a map, and made this trigger to make heros start with 15 skill points (for stat assignement)

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Picked unit): Add 15 points)
    • Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Limit Heroes to 1 per Hero-type (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)

I placed a bunch of heros to test some stuff, and I found different heros get different amount of skill points. I don't know why this is happening. The main problem is the Arthas (With Sword), wich only gets 4 points, no matter the quantity of skill points i set on trigger, though other heros do get affected...

Other heroes get 11.

A Rexxar gets 16 points, wich is good, cuz there's 15 from the trigger, and 1 from starting hero.

Any clues about this issue?

It's the number of the abilities that determines it. Apparently, the heroes with the Attribute Bonus ability can have 16 points of them, because they supposedly have more abilities to distribute them to.

Uuuuh... ok...

Is there a way to set a constant 5 Skill Point / Lvl for all heros, no matter the quantity of skills available to distribute points?

There's only 3 skills: Str, Agi, and Int..

Ah well, for some reason, adding them periodically fools the engine:

• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Picked unit): Add 7 points
      • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Picked unit): Add 7 points

Custom skill points quantity constant

I want my hero to get 6 SkillPoints per lvl.

INFO:

- When he lvls up he gets one (Some Warcraft constant i don't know how to modify. - A trigger adds him 3 Skill Points, another one gives him 2 Skill Points (If i set 5, it just gives 3, but this way it works).

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

- The hero gets a maximum of 9 Skill Points. it's kinda "Secrewed up". No matter how many lvls it gets, it stays at 9.

QUESTIONS

- Is there a constant to make it "6 Skill Points" for lvl, so I don't have to trigger it?
- Is there a constant Skill Point cap i should know about?

- Thanks

Did you see my latest reply on your previous thread? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-skill-points-isnt-working-all-heross-201494/

I hope I do not misunderstand, but let me know how's this thread different from that one, I will need to merge them otherwise or delete this one.

 

[Spartipilo]

Sorry! I forgot i had posted that... I think that Merging both of them would be the the reasonable action. BTW, i did read your answer, i did it that way, but doesn't work anyway =/ A lvl 7 Hero should have 6x7 Skill Points = 42, but only has 9. As you said, depends on number of abilities available, but i don't want it to work that way, but separatedly. Maybe using Skill Points as variable, though I have no idea of anything about variables =/

in Guild of Hyppos you can have any amount of skill points, though there are only 3 skills available (Str, Agi, Int) mmm =/ And even better, after lvl 30 there's a unit that lets you change custom stat points. You can pay 1000 to restore 10 of Str, Agi, or Int, and get those 10 Skill Points back for another use... =/ I'd like to do that (or similar, since my stats works a bit differently)

There's a limit on how many skill points you can add at a time. The limit is the number of skill points the hero can use on his abilities.

If it has 3 hero abilities with max level 3, then you can add 9 skill points at a time. If it has one hero ability with max level of 2, you can add only 2 skill points at a time.

Use the trick Pharaoh_ showed to add more skill points.

 

[Spartipilo]

Maker, right now, there are two triggers that add 3/2 points each time a Hero levels up, and each hero has 4 skills to upgrade, each one with one lvl, (they get removed via trigger right after using). At the begginning hero has 6 skill points, if he lvl ups, then he has 9 (and not 12, as supossed), and if he lvls up again, he has 9 again (not 18), etc... and it's via trigger, adding 3/2 points. See

• Hero lvl up
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Triggering unit): Add 3 points
    • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Triggering unit): Add 2 points

The additional point is the natural wc3 lvl up skill point.

Also tried doing it this way:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Picked unit): Add 3 points
    • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Picked unit): Add 2 points

Does nothing at the end. My hero can accumulate more tan 9 skill points available for use... and i really need it to be able to =/

Post a test map.

Here's the map. Hope you can help me.
