unit spell level

[Null]

I have a spell for a unit and 1 research. Both have 3 levels. the lvl 1 spell requires lvl 1 upg. level 2 spell requires level 2 upgrade and level 3 spell requires level 3 upgrade. How do i do that??

 

[Pyrogasm]

Are the levels of the spells chosen like a hero chooses spells (but can’t choose without the correct upgrade for the level), or are they unit abilities that should be automatically leveled up when the research is finished?

On the Object Editor, there are Techtree - Requirements and Techtree - Requirements - Levels. You can put the other research on the other research's requirements and then put the levels on. For example: if something would require Mithril Forged Swords, you put Iron Forged Swords as the requirement (because that's the base name of the research), but then at the levels field you would put integer 3.

Level 1 requires level 1 upgrade ex: iron forged swords
level 2 requires level 2 upgrade ex: Stell forged swords
level 3 requires level 3 upgrade ex: mithril forged swords
What you gave me works only on level 3

What you gave me works only on level 3

Yes, it was just an example for you to understand how the logic works. You are meant to then apply that logic to whatever your needs are.

I can t add a requirement to more than 1 level of the spell.

Oh right, spells don't have requirements for each level. Is it a hero ability?

One way to achieve this is to manually increase the level of the ability when the research is researched. This can be done with a simple trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes research
• Conditions
  • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Iron Forged Swords
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Current research level of Iron Forged Swords for (Triggering player)) Equal to 1
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Storm Bolt to Hero
    • Else - Actions
  • Unit - Set level of Storm Bolt for Hero to (Current research level of Iron Forged Swords for (Owner of Hero))

If it's a hero and you want to mimic the actual requirements, you have to make copies of the hero ability so that the copies are not hero abilities and there is one for each level. And each ability representing each level have their own requirements. Then you can make a trigger like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
• Conditions
  • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Holy Light
• Actions
  • Unit - For (Triggering unit), Ability Holy Light, Disable ability: True, Hide UI: True
  • Unit - Remove Holy Light (Unit Ability Level 1) from (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Remove Holy Light (Unit Ability Level 2) from (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Remove Holy Light (Unit Ability Level 3) from (Triggering unit)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Level of Holy Light for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Holy Light (Unit Ability Level 1) to (Triggering unit)
    • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Level of Holy Light for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 2
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Holy Light (Unit Ability Level 2) to (Triggering unit)
    • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Level of Holy Light for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 3
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Holy Light (Unit Ability Level 3) to (Triggering unit)
    • Else - Actions

Edit: Had wrong event in the first example. It's "A unit Finishes research" not upgrade. Also added an example map with an example to both approaches.

Techs can increase the level of an ability. One defines the tech as requirment for the ability. So it can not be used without the tech.

Then one adds the tech to the unit's techtree list of benefiting/using techs. After having done that set an effect of the tech to level up an ability. With Base = 0, increament = 1. Also choose the Ability that should level up.

With such a setting the first research enables the ability while further ones improve the skill. But only units benefiting from the tech gain Ability Levels.

It s a unit with a spell, and as i said it must happen to the whole army, so that trigger will work only in one unit. I need smth which happens to all those unit.

 

[Rahko]

that trigger will work only in one unit.

Well, you can pick units with the ability and then you can apply the bonus to all of them. But, as Tasyen pointed out, it's all unnecessary and you don't need any triggers. In case you didn't get his explanation: there's an option for researches on the Object Editor:
