[Trigger] Why does my hero not learn this spell?

[Oljin]

Hi everyone,

I wrote a script in order to learn a hero a new ability.
What it should do:

If the dialog button is clicked (where the player chooses his ability),
the new ability should be learned by the hero. He has to be able to improve this ability up to level 4, when leveling.
Problems: If I use "Modify unspent Skill of Hero: Add+1" and "Learn Skill" (as seen in the code),
the hero does not learn any ability.

If I use "Add Ability", the hero learns the spell, but can't improve it by leveling.

Here is my code:

Does your hero have all those spells? I mean, did you put them in the "Object Editor - Hero Abilities" field? Assuming you have set up the dialog correctly, I don't see why this wouldn't work, apart from the hero nor having the spells. As far as I know, a hero can't learn a spell if he doesn't have it in the Object Editor.

Kind Regards

Well no I don't. But my question is: If I do so, would my hero be able to skill all 5 spells in the whole map? I have 5 Spells. Each hero has already (over map 1, 2 and now we are in map 3 of this campaign) his own skills (mostly) on highest level. Thus, a new spell may be chosen. But only one!
Do all my heroes need to know all 5 spells?
Isn't it then possible to skill all 5 spells during the whole map?


Kind Regards

I think what you said is not the right way to solve my problem!

Because: If I would add to every of my hero all those 5 abilites in the object editor, my "loaded hero from map 2" would automatically learn all those 5 abilities when map 3 is loaded. but all my 5 spells are made in a way, that they can't be skilled all at once (research and use buttons have all the same position).

So...

"Unit: Add Ability" was working properly: The hero learned the spell the players choosed. But the thing was, that the hero couldn't improve the spell.

Now "Hero: Add +1 Skill Point" + "Hero: Learn Skill" is not working, but maybe...

I will try:
- "Hero: Add +1 Skill Point"
- "Unit: Add Ability" to hero
- "Learn Skill" for hero

and I tell you (later, maybe tomorrow) what happens...

 

[NarGalloth]

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do exactly... However, you say that "Add Ability" works properly, but you can't make the hero level up the spell... Well, actually you can make him level up, have you tried using "Set Ability Level"? I would be like this:
- If the hero hasn't still learned the ability, use "Add Ability".
- If the hero already has the ability and you want to improve its level, use "Set Ability Level".

If this doesn't help you, please elaborate a bit more on what you want to do (your explanation seems a bit confusing for me), and I'll see what can I do.

Kind Regards

Yeah I think I'll do what you are saying. I just use Set Ability Level.




Sorry if it's confusing. but the thing is this:
The camapign (3 maps) uses 6 different heroes. At beginning every hero has his own spells. So for example a Mage has "Firestorm", "Frostnova", "Stats-Bonus" and "Summon Earth Golem". The first 3 mentioned spells have 4 levels, the last one has just 2 levels. Thus, if you reach lvl 14 you have spent your last skill point for one of these spells.

Now you go to map 3 in my campaign. There is a guy, who will teach you a new spell. You may choose ONE out of 5 different spells. (This new spell has 4 levels). If you learnt this spell with lvl 14, you should be on highest skill lvl with 18. But if you learn this spell with lvl 18, you should be on highest skill lvl with 22 etc...

In the object editor, each hero has in all 3 maps all the same values. In all 3 maps has a hero the same "damage plus", and "Basic Defense" and "Starting Int, Agi, Str" etc etc. ...... THUS it would change my "concept" if every hero has in map 3 in the object editor 5 additional spells.... in the object editor should every hero have just his spells from the beginning.

Hope it's clear now...
