Hi there ! I've added Death Knight's Presences (v1.1) in my map and I've tried to copy the existing triggers and change all the variables in order to change all the spells for the hero. Basically every time he clicks the Spell he will have one active Presence from a pool of three Presences.( Presence Setup and Presence)
I copied the two triggers and renamed all the variables which were used so I can add another spells besides the active Presence. Now when, let's say he has Frost Presence from the first two triggers , he will have Frost Strike too from the copied triggers. But the problem is the index order is not respected on the copied triggers, meaning that when I have Presence_Buff2[2] = Presence (Frost) for example I won't have Presence_Ability_Aura2[2] = Frost Strike and he will have another spell from the remaining two, which is strange because on the first two triggers which were imported it's working fine and all I did was to copy tie first two triggers and change the variables. I think it has to do with hashtables...Any help please?

    -------- Be free to choose which will be the first presence to be activated. --------
-> Starts with 1, 2 or 3.
it would be better to start with a specific one so it does allways match.
It is unlikely that 2 independent random numbers have the same value.

Custom script: set udg_Presence_Index_Add2 = GetRandomInt(1, 3)
->
  • Set Presence_Index_Add2 = 1
Edit:
Better would be to change this presence to add multiple abilities at once.
Define a new ability Array variable and add some lines to the presence triggers.
add to "Presence Setup"
  • Set Presence_Ability_SkillAdded[1] = Blood-Strike
  • Set Presence_Ability_SkillAdded[2] = Frost-Strike
  • Set Presence_Ability_SkillAdded[3] = Unholy-Strike
Add to "Presence"
Should be somewhere the other add ability stuff is done.
  • Unit - Remove Presence_Ability_SkillAdded[Presence_Index_Remove] from Presence_Caster
  • Unit - Add Presence_Ability_SkillAdded[Presence_Index_Add] to Presence_Caster

Thank you ! One more thing : the Presence Change spell is based on the troll's headhunter ability berserk and from what I've seen the first 4 levels of the spell don't show the berserk buff at the status of the hero but at level 5 of the spell and after that the buff appears. Do you know why ?
