Upgrading Item abilities on items

[Drain Pipe]

I was just wondering; is it possible to use triggers to add abilities to already existant items, or do you have to create a seperate item and switch them to gain the different or bonus effect?

(is there some JASS that has, add ability to Item?)

You can increase the level of an ability on an item, by just using the item's ability on Set Unit ability level.

I think that you can use a spellbook and give it passive abilities and they will work on the item (just don't make it actively used)

Then you make it so the level 1 of the spellbook has 1 ability, level 2 has 2 abilities and so and so.

Then just change the level of the spellbook ability

It was mainly for making an upgrading item ability that would allow you to add attributes onto your weapon. I just wanted to do something easier than making 1 of each item. Thanks i;'ll try that.


[edit] wait are you talking about something like this

Set level of DUMMY ability: for owner of X item to Y level?

No, i think he means, Set ability x on unit y to level z, where x is the item ability. It can be rawcode of that item ability.
